Câu hỏi về Tiếng Anh (Mỹ)

It was like everyone had something to say about it, but me. có nghĩa là gì?

(A twelve year old boy is telling his mom that his friends have been trying to get he and a girl together.)

Boy: I like that girl, but I don't really want a girlfriend.
It was like everyone had something to say about it, but me.


Does the second sentence mean "It was like everyone seemed to make a big deal about having a girlfriend, but I don't agree with it"??


Thank you.

It means that everyone had decided that he should date the girl and they where not taking his opinion into consideration ( they did not care that he didn't want a girlfriend).

@Jun24: Nice use of the word 'lucid'. It isn't typical for English speakers to use though, most would say clear.

@dwilson0725 Oh no. You should use it! It's sad to know that a good word like this is not often used.
It's difficult for me to know which words are more common to be used by native speakers, so thanks a lot for telling me that.

@Jun24: I agree, it's a wonderful word, but it is used more to describe a mental state by native speakers. I hope you continue using it though!

@dwilson0725 I didn't know that.
If it's for describing mental state, I won't use it for explanation, either.
I thought you don't use the word in the same way that you rarely use the word 'seldom'.

Lucid is a perfect use with explanation, it's just not common. These words aren't used in typical conversation for most people. You will sound educated using words like 'lucid' and 'seldom', which can make some people feel insecure if they don't know the meaning. Don't let that stop you! English can be a beautiful language and you are using it very well!

Just for some context though, a common use would be to say to someone that is drunk or tired, "You can't drive, you're barely lucid!"

There is also a fascinating subject called 'lucid dreaming' where you are aware within a dream of being asleep in a dream.

@dwilson0725 Oh, okay. If that makes me sound smart, I should keep on using it.

I know what you mean. We call that dream 明晰夢 (めいせきむ).
Thanks a lot for showing the examples of its common usage.
