我们大都知道lame表示“跛腿的”,当然lame用在俚语里就不是这个意思了,它的意思跟sweet正好相反,表示“糟糕的,差劲的”。

例如:That joke Karen told me was so lame. I couldn't believe it. She tried to be funny, but the punch line didn't make anybody laugh. I think her sense of humor is really weird.

Karen讲给我听的那个笑话真糟糕,简直令人难以置信。她拼命想把它说得有意思,但是她那句逗笑的话却一点儿没引人发笑。我觉得她的幽默感有问题。

Lame可以用来描绘各种不同性质的糟糕或者令人生厌的情况。

例如:The Introduction to Economics class is so lame! The professor puts us all to sleep with his boring lectures. He doesn't teach anything practical or interesting. I want to switch classes.

经济学导论可真差劲!那位教授枯燥的讲课听得叫人都睡着了。他教的东西一点都没实用意义。我可要换班了。
