英语词汇应用：不能小看的nothing短语思维导图

例句-1：So you didn't win the million dollars! But you did win 10,000, didn't you? Let me tell you, friend, 10,000 dollars is certainly nothing to sneeze at!

不错，你的确没有赢到那一百万美元。但是你赢了一万美元，是不是?朋友，听我说一句，一万美元绝对不是一笔小钱!

例句-2：Okay, honey, you came in second in the 400 meters, not first. But you won the silver medal and you're the second fastest runner in the state. I'd say that's nothing to sneeze at.

宝贝，就算你在400米赛跑中只得了第二，没争上第一，但是你获得了银牌，是全州跑第二快的人。要我说，这是谁也不能小看的成绩。

例句-3：Well, Jack, here goes nothing! Right now I wish I'd spent a lot more time preparing. It's a tough audience I hear -- Right now I'd rather be anywhere else, even at the dentist!

好吧，杰克，不管那么多了。我现在真希望我花了更多的时间来准备(演讲)。听说这次的听众不好对付。只要不让我去会场，我去哪儿都行，哪怕是牙医诊所。

例句-3：I tell you， nothing doing! I just paid $900 to fix my car after that accident you got into last week. Didn't I tell you you can't drive my car again until you lean to be a safe driver!

我告诉你，绝对不行!我刚刚才花了900美元修理你上周在车祸中撞坏的汽车。我不是跟你说了吗?在你能安全驾驶汽车之前，休想再动我的汽车!

除了nothing doing之外，人们有时候也用其它的说法：no way。还有：forget it。这后两种说法同nothing doing一样，都是坚决拒绝他人要求的时候说的话。但是，要注意的是，这三种说法都不太礼貌。所以，只能在某些适当的时候说，而不能随便使用。
