　　01.

　　Roast

　　01.

　　Roast

　　大家都知道这个词是“烤”的意思，其实它还有另一个用法：

　　To roast someone: 批评某人

　　把某人放在舆论的烤架上，用语言猛烈地炙烤，引申为严厉批评的意思：

　　Putting them on the spot, putting all the heat on them, to criticize them

　　另外也可以表达带有挖苦、调侃的批评，这就和中文里的“吐槽”非常类似了，近几年中国大火的综艺节目《吐槽大会》的英文名就叫做《Roast》，它的原版是美国知名脱口秀《Comedy Central Roast》(喜剧中心吐槽大会)，专门请明星来节目上吐槽：

　　Celebrity roast: 名人吐槽

　　吐槽者是 Roaster，如果是“被吐槽”用动词 get：

　　To get roasted: 被吐槽

　　I got roasted. 我被吐槽了。

　　在北美的婚礼上，为了活跃气氛，通常新郎都会被吐槽一下：

　　The groom gets roasted by the best man. 新郎被伴郎吐槽了。

　　02.

　　Complain

　　Complain 这个词你一定学过，它和吐槽类似，用来表示内心的不满：

　　To complain about something to someone: 和某人抱怨某事

　　比如你去了一家很糟糕的餐厅：

　　Complaining about the bad service… 抱怨服务差…

　　Complaining about the food… 抱怨食物不好…

　　也有人不管遇到什么事都要吐槽：

　　Someone is always complaining. 某人总是在吐槽。

　　Someone loves to complain. 某人很爱吐槽。

　　爱抱怨的人称为：

　　A complainer

　　具体接某件抱怨的事情，用介词 about：

　　He is always complaining about life. 他总是在抱怨生活。

　　其实真正在 complain 的时候，不一定会用到 complain 这个词，例如想和餐厅经理投诉、吐槽，通常直接用 speak：

　　I'd like to speak to the manager. 我想和经理谈谈(投诉)。
