jaywalk / catwalk什么意思?
我在这里卖个关子先(别打我)
最近痴迷于土味情话,分享一段

- I'm not tired, what's wrong?
- You'vewalkedin my heart all day,
but you are not tired at all!

说到walk,大家知道是
走路,散步的意思
但其实还可以指步行小道
There're some interesting
walks in the area.

另外它还可以做动词,表示
遛(动物)、陪伴…走

回到标题好了,jaywalk / catwalk
什么意思呢?大家听节目就知道啦~
笔记:
walk v. 行走,徒步
其实 walk 除了有“走路”的含义之外,还可以指“步行小道”。
take a walk, go for a walk.
也可以用stroll替代walk,stroll多指走走停停,步子缓慢,悠闲自得,漫无目的。
jaywalk: 指不守规矩随意横穿马路。 不是闯红灯(run the red light)哦!
If you jaywalk, you are probably oblivious to the risk of serious injury.
如果你乱穿马路,那你就将自己暴露在了受重伤的危险之下。
If the police catch you jaywalking, you’ll be in trouble.
警察抓到你乱穿马路你就麻烦咯!
catwalk:T台/猫步 a narrow, often elevated walkway, as on the sides of a bridge or in the flies above a theater stage.
catwalk,的确和时尚圈有关,不过最常用的含义并非指模特的“猫步”,而是指“T台”,也叫 runway。T台之所以被称为 catwalk,是因为T台狭长,需要像猫的步态一样行走。而建筑物外部或舞台上方的“天桥”,同样被称为 catwalk。
The model fell off the catwalk because it was difficult to walk in her high heels.
因为穿着高跟鞋太难走路,模特从T台上摔了下来。
