和 cool 這個詞差不多,同樣都表現出對別人的一種肯定和認同。
-I've taken the piano lessons for ten years.
-Neat!
我已經學了十年的鋼琴了。
真是不簡單。(表示敬佩之意)
(2)
Neat 和 Cool 也有 “新奇”的意思,通常和stuff連在一起用,表示很新奇又很棒的事物。
-Check out those neat stuff.
看看這些很棒的東西。(為了吸引別人的注意力而用neat)
同樣,這里也可以用 cool stuff. 都表示不但新奇而且值得一看的意思。
I'v just bought some cool stuff.
我剛買了一些很棒的東西。
這些你都記住了嗎???趕快自己用 Neat 和 Cool 說幾句話吧!
