Tell Me More

“Rock” is the shortened version of rock ‘n’ roll, which describes a popular form of music. So a word that means stone also means concerts featuring rock ‘n’ roll bands like The Rolling Stones.

Rock is also used to describe an especially large, flashy ring. Example: “Did you see the size of that rock on her finger?” Police will tell you that “rock” today is the slang word for the especially dangerous illegal drug crack cocaine.

Rock can be used to describe something that is fun or wonderful. As in, “My dad just bought me a car. My dad rocks.” If your friend is always dependable, you can say, “My friend is a rock.” If you say, “Don’t rock the boat,” that means don’t cause trouble. But if you say, “He rocks my world,” that means he’s amazing.

Rock是rock ‘n’ roll的縮寫(xiě)，形容一種流行的音樂(lè )形式。所以rock也可以表示那些有像滾石這樣的搖滾樂(lè )隊的演唱會(huì )。

Rock也可以形容一個(gè)巨大的閃閃發(fā)光的戒指。比如：Did you see the size of that rock on her finger? 警察會(huì )告訴你，如今rock還可以用作俚語(yǔ)，用來(lái)形容極度危險的非法毒品“強效可卡因”。

Rock還可以用來(lái)形容某件事很有趣或很棒。比如：My dad just bought me a car. My dad rocks.如果你的朋友一貫很可靠，你可以說(shuō)My friend is a rock。如果你說(shuō)，Don’t rock the boat，意思是別制造麻煩。但如果你說(shuō)He rocks my world，那就表示他很迷人。
