Ding 也是英文字

原来 “ding” 也是英文的词。英文的 "ding" 是象声词,  形容小东西碰到金属, 或敲小铃时的声响。 (大钟： “ding-dong!,” 小铃： “ding-a-ling!”)

“ding” 也用作动词,  比如汽车受损出现小凹:

“He's so angry.  He just bought that car last week, and it already got dinged in the parking lot.”

还有, "ding" 也可指考试或者工作面试等时候失去一些分数:

“That teacher is too strict! I would have gotten 100% on the test, but she dinged me five points just for forgetting to write my name at the top of the page!”
