生活英语|地道美语表达：做女性，挺不好，只能怪自己

近期染上呼吸道感染，喉咙非常痛，还咳嗽，花了不少money不说，都十天了还没完全治好，想来想去还是要怪自己平常不注意训练身体，以致我们的抵抗力太低。对了，这里只能怪自己可以用英文have only oneself to blame来表示.

If women are mercilessly exploited^{1 year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of been seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion.}

目前女性们花在衣着上的成本可不少，她们常抱怨说时尚的东西太快了，根本就追赶不上，花了很多的钱买的衣服穿几次就不时尚了，这也要怪她们自己，哪个叫她们拼命的去追赶时尚呢？有句广告说做女性挺好，看来我倒感觉做女性挺不好，多累呀。这里的Have only oneself to blame意思是只有自己可以责怪。It is used to say that someones problems are their own fault; they cant blame it on others.再看一个大家比较熟知的例子：

If he fails his exams, hell only have himself to blame. He has never worked hard since this 百度竞价推广ester^2.

因为这次病得不轻，所以发誓要好好训练身体。体育训练不仅能够增加体质，更要紧的是它可以使人看着愈加精神，也能使你一直维持积极的态度和乐观的精神来面对生活，面对日常的各种挫折。一句话，它可以charge you up.

Hank loves physical exercises, for it really charges him up.

从上面的译文可以看出，charge someone up意思是使某人精神百倍。Charge up原来的意思是充电，if a battery charges, or if you charge it, it takes in and stores electricity，在中间加上一个代词或表示人名的名词词组，意思就从中而来表示给某人充电，使其有精神、有能量。所以记住了charge up这个片语的意思，charge someone up 就不难理解了。再看一个例子：

After having made a big success, remember to celebrate because that is what charges you up to get through another life challenge.

结束语：每人都爱同意表彰，我也不例外，每次遭到表彰时一直信心百倍，干劲十足，我想一定量的表彰也能charge us up吧!不过，表彰不可以过渡，过渡表彰容易滋生自满情绪，一旦失败，这类骄傲自满的人就不会从他们自己探寻缘由，也不会责怪自己，而是把责任推卸给其他人。
