今天我们要讲一个非常接地气的网络表达，叫做累成狗。意思就是说，非常非常累，累到极端。这里的“累”当然可以用其他形容词代替，比如“冷成狗”，“热成狗”等等，当然了，和狗本身没有任何关系。
Nick: Hey what’s up Brad.
Brad: Not much. How is it going, Nick?
Nick: good good. It’s just… I’m tired asfuck.
Brad: How? What did you do?
Nick: ah… I hit the gym yesterday. You knowI haven’t been working out for a freaking long time, like a moth or so. Afterthat, I was like tired as fuck. I was beat.
Brad: Happens to me too! I work out a lotand it’s nice outside so I’m woke as fuck! Whenever I’m tired as fuck I justdrink a lot of coffee, you know, caffeine? I pretty much live off coffee duringthe week
Nick: Yeah I feel you. I’ve been therebefore. But coffee is not my cup of tea, not my thing though.
Brad: Coffee isn’t your cup of tea?
Nick: No it’s not.
Brad: When you are using “as fuck” you doneed to be careful when and where you use it. Not only is it informal but it’s veryinappropriate. With me it’s totally fine since we’re close friends and we’vebeen in class together and pretty much the same age but I don’t recommend usingit in front of anyone older. Also in my eyes,it could be just mean, I’m sure alot of people are gonna share this thing (or some) thoughts. But it’s notreally appropriate to curse in front of a woman-you are using “fuck”, which isa very bad curse word. Even now we are in a pretty closed room but I’m alwaysto check over my shoulder when I’m saying “fuck” because of this. So you don’treally wanna say “fuck”
Nick: It’s a swear word.
Brad: Yeahit’s a swear word. I won’t besaying fuck in Chinese like all the time. People will be like I’m weird
Nick: Apparently that’s pretty informal.
刚刚brad提醒我们，用这个短语的时候，千万不要在正式场合用，因为这个短语很不正式。其实很好理解，你总不可能在正式场合说，你累成狗吧。对吧，那会闹笑话的。而且在英语中“fuck”也是一个非常粗俗的一个词。所以大家尽量在熟人之间使用，不要再女孩子或者是正式场合用，不太恰当。So this is pretty much it for this time. I’ll see you guys nexttime, bye.
Brad: 再见
