在和英国人进行的口译活动中，免不了会处理一些俚语的翻译，下面我们来看看这些常用的俚语该怎么翻译吧。

　　1.Mate

　　Some men use mate as a way of addressing other men when they are talking to them.

　　经常用于亲密关系。和好朋友说话的时候可以用，类似于美国人用的“buddy，pal，dude”。

　　例如：Come on mate, things aren't that bad. 

　　2. Bugger All

　　Bugger all is a rude way of saying 'nothing'.

　　相当于“nothing at all”，只不过这个说法更通俗一点。

　　例如：He does bugger all ( work ) around here. 

　　3. Knackered

　　If you say that you are knackered, you are emphasizing that you are extremely tired.

　　用来形容一个很累，很疲惫，就是筋疲力尽的意思。

　　例如：‘I am absolutely knackered after working all day.’

　　4. Gutted

　　If you are gutted, you feel extremely disappointed or depressed about something that has happened.

　　这个是英国俚语中最悲伤的表达方式之一，表示很悲痛。

　　例如：

　　5. Gobsmacked

　　8. Lost The Plot

　　If someone loses the plot, they become confused and do not know what they should do.

　　12. All to pot
