youse你们

【使用地区】：美国

【释义】：

Youse—the so—called“generous plural”—is in a class by itself as a New Yorkism，though the expression is definitely heard in several parts of the country，including other eastern cities and the Midwest．Youse is usually employed when a speaker is referring to the second person plural，helping the speaker differentiate between one person in the group he or she is speaking to and the group as a whole．It is the New York counterpart of the southern y’all(q．v．)，the“mountain tawk”you—uns and the localized mongst—ye heard in Norfolk，Virginia，and on Albemarle Sound．Youse also is a feature of Irish speech，See also yis．

此词“泛指的复数”(generous plural)是纽约话，尽管这一说法在美国的其他地区也常能听到，如东部城市和中西部。Youse常用来指第二人称复数，帮助说话者区分说话对象是整体还是个人。此纽约话相当于美国南部的y’all(参见该条)，山区方言you—uns和诺福克和弗吉尼亚和大西洋中的小岛Albemarle将mongst—ye发音地方化的词。Youse还是爱尔兰语的一个特点。参见 yis。
