- 1愛爾蘭口語:歡樂的聊天、好玩的氣氛(不是「裂縫」,也不是毒品那個 crack)
Craic is enjoyable talk and fun with other people — the jokes, the warmth, the feeling that the room is alive. You hear it especially in Ireland.
Craiccraic is指的是 enjoyable talk and fun with other people跟其他人在一起愉快的談話和玩樂——the jokes那些笑話、the warmth那種溫暖、the feeling that the room is alive整個場子很熱絡的感覺。You你 hear it especially會特別聽到這個字 in Ireland在愛爾蘭。
What’s the craic? is a friendly “What’s going on? Any news? Are we having a good time?” The craic was mighty means the night was really good company, not that something broke.
"What's the craic?"「What's the craic」 is a friendly是很親切的一種 "What's going on?""發生什麼事啦?"的問法。"Any news?"「有什麼新鮮事嗎?」"Are we having a good time?""我們玩得開心嗎?」的意思。"The craic was mighty""The craic was mighty" means意思是 the night was really good company那天晚上大家一起真的很開心,not而不是 that something broke有什麼東西壞了。
You say it exactly like crack. It is informal, social, and very much a spoken word; writing the Irish-looking spelling often a little flag: this is Irish fun, a pub, a kitchen table, not a business meeting.
You你 say it念法 exactly like crack完全跟crack一樣。It它 is informal, social, and very much a spoken word是個不正式、社交性、非常口語的字;writing the Irish-looking spelling把它寫成愛爾蘭式的拼法craic often waves a little flag常常等於在打個小旗子說:this is Irish fun這是愛爾蘭式的歡樂,a pub酒吧、a kitchen table廚房的餐桌,not而不是 a business meeting商務會議。
Though actually, this is a spelling round-trip, not an ancient Irish treasure English later borrowed. English speakers in Ireland already used crack for fun and chat. Irish borrowed that English word and spelled it craic. Then English started using the Irish spelling when it wanted that Irish flavour.
Though actually不過事實上,this is a spelling round-trip這是一趟拼法的來回旅程,not而不是 an ancient Irish treasure English later borrowed一個英文後來才借用的古老愛爾蘭寶藏。English speakers in Ireland愛爾蘭的英語使用者 already used crack早就用crack for fun and chat來指玩樂和聊天了。Irish愛爾蘭語 borrowed that English word借用了這個英文字 and spelled it craic把它拼成craic。Then後來 English started using英文開始用起 the Irish spelling這個愛爾蘭拼法 when it wanted that Irish flavour在想要那種愛爾蘭味道的時候。
Same sound as crack; do not hear the drug sense, and do not hear “a broken place.” If there is no Irish colour in the scene, many speakers would just say fun, a good time, or a good laugh.
Same sound as crack發音跟crack一樣;do not hear不要聽成 the drug sense毒品那個意思,and也 do not hear不要聽成 "a broken place""一個破掉的地方"。If there is no Irish colour in the scene如果場景裡沒有愛爾蘭色彩,many speakers很多說話者 would just say就會直接說 funfun、a good time一段開心時光、or或 a good laugh一場好笑的時光。
