【10月27日】“插队”英文咋说？你绝对想不到

One African man decided that he didn’t like waiting, and so, he cut the queue. Cut the queue means 插队. I shouted at him, “我又不是你妈凭什么让着你！”. All the people around me started to support me and say “Yeah! Go to the back!”

 In American English, line is used more often; and in British English queue. These two mean the same thing. And instead of cut, we can also use jump. So, it would be “jump the queue”. All these are the same!

 So,what if someone cut the queue and we wanted to tell them politely? We could say : “Please line up,okay?”.

我在排队时，有某个非洲人觉得不喜欢排，于是决定插队。我向他喊“我又不是你妈凭什么让着你！”周围的人都开始支持我。他们用英语对他说“yeah, go to the back.”

美式英语里line用的比较多，英式用queue。都一样的。除了cut the queue 或line,我们也可以说jump the queue或line。这些都一样的。那要是有人插队但是我们要礼貌的说呢？我们可以说“麻烦排一下队好吗”
