- 1喝醉了(英式口語,有點醉或明顯醉了)
In informal British English, someone who is half-cut has had too much alcohol. They are drunk, or clearly getting there — walking a bit loosely, talking a bit loudly. It does not mean they have been cut with a knife. You hear it about nights out, pubs, and parties. It is casual and a little teasing, not a doctor’s word, and not a kind word if the drinking is a real problem. Though actually, Americans almost never say this; they are more likely to say , drunk, or wasted. “Half-” here is not a careful measurement. Nobody is checking whether you are exactly fifty percent drunk.
「half-cut」是英式口語,指一個人喝了太多酒,已經醉了,或看起來快醉了,例如走路有點晃、說話大聲了一點。它多半用在夜遊、酒吧和派對的情境,口氣隨意,帶點戲謔,不是醫學用語。字面的「割」與它無關,這裡的「half」也不是精確的數字,沒人會去算到底是不是百分之五十醉。
美國人幾乎不用這個說法,多半說微醺、醉了,或爛醉。如果喝酒已經是真正的問題,這個字就不太客氣了。
組成This is probably half- plus an old slang use of cut meaning “drunk.” The picture is not of a wound.
