    下面给大家介绍今天的习语:just for laughs. just for laughs这个俗语在不同情况下,它的意思也就不同。首先,它可以解释为:做某件事纯属为了高兴。我们来举个例子吧。
    例句-1: "come on and get your jacket -- let's go out and have a couple of beers just for laughs."
    这个人说:“来吧,穿上你的外套,我们到外面去喝两杯啤酒高兴高兴。”
    可是,just for laughs有时也可以指做愚蠢的事,或有害的事。
    下面的情形就是一个例子:
    例句-2: "just for laughs they tossed mary in the swimming pool with all her clothes on. then they found out she didn't know how to swim."
    这个人说:“就是为了开玩笑,他们把玛丽连衣服带鞋的整个扔进了游泳池,结果他们发现,玛丽根本不会游泳。”
    开这种恶作剧的玩笑实在是不应该。我们再来举一个高兴一点的例子吧:
    例句-3: "i really enjoyed that movie last night. it won't win any prizes, but it has two funny guys in it that are worth watching just for laughs."
    这个人说:“我很喜欢昨晚看的那个电影。这个电影不见得会得什么奖,但是那两个滑稽的角色值得一看,非常好玩。”
