I SAY!

Now we’re really going back in time. This is a classic British phrase, probably not said in any serious since 1891, which consists of loudly exclaiming that you’re about to say something, but then actually sort of chickening out and deciding just to let ‘I say!’ do the business.

现在我们真的要回到过去了!“I say!是一个经典的英式短语，大概在1891年后就没有在正式场合被使用过了。使用这个短语的大致场景是：你的一句大声惊呼刚刚开头，后面的话还没出口却又临阵退缩，于是决定说完“I say!便就此打住。

STREWTH!

In a similar way to ‘Blimey’, ‘Strewth’ is a shortening of ‘By God’s truth’, and is probably the most outdated word on our list – although it has enjoyed something of a recent revival in Australia. Still, if you’re ever asked to star in a traditional English drawing room drama, you’ll be equipped with exactly the right ways to express a truly British kind of surprise.

和“Blimey相似，“Strewth是“By God’s truth的缩略语，这大概是这篇文章中最过时的一个惊叹词了，尽管最近它在澳大利亚还流行了一阵子。如果你被叫去演传统的英国客厅话剧，用上这个词，绝对能精确传达出原汁原味的英式“卧槽!
