     简单好记的OK是人们日常对话中不可或缺的常用词汇。但你知道吗?除了OK,其实mKay也能表达“好的、可以、没问题”这些意思,还常替代OKay用在对话中。

     

    Mkay is a non-standard spelling of Okay, representing an informal pronunciation, typically used at the end of a statement to invite agreement, approval, or confirmation. It's made popular by Mr. Mackey on the Comedy Central animated sitcom South Park. It can be used in place of OK.

    Mkay是Okay(行,好)的不规范拼法,代表一种非正式发音,通常用在句尾来征求同意、认可或进行确认。这一说法因美国喜剧频道播放的动画情景喜剧“南方公园”里的麦基先生流行起来。mKay可以用来代替OK。

    Mkay的美式发音为/m:'kei/,除了mkay,mkay、mmkay、mmmkay也有相同的意思,其实读读这个词,你就能体会到说它时随意的感觉。

    For example:

    Just leave us some flowers by the door and we'll pick them up later, mkay?

    在门口给我们留点花,我们之后把花拿走,行吗?

    又如:

    Come back in a few hours, mkay?

    几小时后回来好吗?

    有时,这个词还用来表达一种讽刺或居高临下的感觉:

    Drugs are bad, mkay?

    毒品不好,是吧?
