1、掌握習(xí)語(yǔ)讓自己的英語(yǔ)更加地道 10個(gè)英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)，掌握起來(lái)讓自己的英語(yǔ)更加地道。下面就和大家分享地道習(xí)語(yǔ)：如何用英語(yǔ)形容生病了，希望能夠幫助到大家，來(lái)欣賞一下吧。10個(gè)英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)，掌握起來(lái)讓自己的英語(yǔ)更加地道。1.a drop in the ocean.滄海一粟。2.actions speak louder than words.事實(shí)勝于雄辯。3.to add fuel to the fire.火上澆油。4.the ball is in your court.下一步就看你的了。5.to bend over backwards.竭盡全力。6.to bite off more than you can

2、chew.貪多嚼不爛。7.by the skin of ones teeth.僥幸8.to cry wolf.“狼來(lái)了“9.to cut to the chase.開門見山地說(shuō)吧。10.to get ones head around something.使某人對(duì)某事摸不著頭腦美國(guó)習(xí)語(yǔ):感到愉快的，人掛掉了say, barby, let me tell you something. i really get a kick out of being around you. if you feel the same way about me, well, maybe we ought to get

4、 down in texas last winter; he got kicked in the head by a horse he was trying to saddle up. that old dog next door finally kicked the bucket. he was 16 years old, toothless, blind and could hardly get around. 16 years is a long time for a dog, so it was time for him to go.to get a kick out of to ki

5、ck the bucket 美國(guó)多年來(lái)有一首流行歌曲，它的名字叫i get a kick out of you kick就是用腳踢的意思，不管是人的腳，或是馬的腳，被踢的人一般來(lái)說(shuō)是會(huì)感到很痛的。但是，這首歌的名字i get a kick out of you卻毫無(wú)痛苦之意，相反的，它的意思是：由于你的愛情使我感到快樂和激動(dòng)。下面這個(gè)例子里的年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)自己對(duì)過去半年里有時(shí)一起出去玩的那個(gè)女孩產(chǎn)生了愛慕之心。他對(duì)這位姑娘說(shuō)： say, barby, let me tell you something. i really get a kick out of being around you. if

6、 you feel the same way about me, well, maybe we ought to get serious and think about getting engaged to each other. 這個(gè)年輕人說(shuō)：咳，芭比，我有些想法要告訴你。和你在一起真使我感到非常愉快。要是你對(duì)我也有同樣的感覺的話，那我們得認(rèn)真對(duì)待我們的關(guān)系，考慮我們是否應(yīng)該訂婚了。 但是，愛情并不是to get a kick out of的唯一源泉。也就是說(shuō)，to get a kick out of這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)并不完全和愛情聯(lián)系在一起。它可以用于任何一個(gè)使你高興的人，或任何一樣令你喜愛和激動(dòng)的

7、東西。例如：一個(gè)成年人在說(shuō)他自己的愛好： im not a kid anymore but i still get a big kick out of going to see a circus. the elephants, the clowns, the acrobats-they make me feel like a kid again. 他說(shuō)：我已經(jīng)不是個(gè)孩子了。但是，每次去看馬戲總是使我感到非常高興和激動(dòng)，那些大象、小丑和雜技、使我感到我好像又成了一個(gè)孩子似的。 下面我們還要講一個(gè)由kick這個(gè)字組成的俗語(yǔ)，那就是：to kick the bucket。盡管這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)也同樣有kick

8、這個(gè)字，但是它的意思卻全然不同。to kick the bucket，它的意思是：一個(gè)人死了。這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)可能是出自很久以前有關(guān)一個(gè)工人的故事。那是在一個(gè)靜靜的夜晚，這個(gè)工人在馬棚里，站在一個(gè)翻過來(lái)放的桶上面，他在屋頂?shù)姆苛荷蠏煲桓K，把繩的另一頭套住自己的脖子，再打一個(gè)結(jié)。然后把腳下的桶踢開，這樣他就吊死了?，F(xiàn)在，人們經(jīng)常用to kick the bucket來(lái)指某人死了。特別要指出的是，to kick the bucket這個(gè)用法一般是對(duì)死者不太尊重的，因此在有禮貌的談話中不太使用這一俗語(yǔ)。我們來(lái)舉個(gè)例子吧：有一個(gè)人騎了馬到一個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)去找他以前的老朋友charley，到了那兒，農(nóng)場(chǎng)的一個(gè)人對(duì)他說(shuō)

9、： your old friend charleys not working here any more. in fact we heard he kicked the bucket down in texas last winter; he got kicked in the head by a horse he was trying to saddle up. 這人告訴他：你的老朋友查理已經(jīng)不在這兒做了。事實(shí)上，我們聽說(shuō)他在去年冬天在得克薩斯州死了。他在套馬的時(shí)候，那匹馬往他的頭上踢了一腳。 to kick the bucket這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)也可以用于動(dòng)物。例如： that old dog ne

10、xt door finally kicked the bucket. he was 16 years old, toothless, blind and could hardly get around. 16 years is a long time for a dog, so it was time for him to go. 這句話的意思是：隔壁的那條狗終于死了。那狗已經(jīng)有十六歲了，牙都沒了，又瞎，行動(dòng)也不便。十六歲了，對(duì)狗來(lái)說(shuō)也是時(shí)候了。 在這次美國(guó)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)節(jié)目里，我們講了兩個(gè)俗語(yǔ)，一個(gè)是：to get a kick out of。to get a kick out of是指使人感到很

11、愉快、很興奮的人或物，有時(shí)也指由于愛情而使人感到激動(dòng)和愉快。今天我們講的第二個(gè)俗語(yǔ)是：to kick the bucket。to kick the bucket是指一個(gè)人死了。美國(guó)習(xí)語(yǔ):跳蚤市場(chǎng)，嘴巴閉緊i was lucky when i went to the flea market today. in the middle of all the worthless junk i found a carved jade chinese snuff bottle and bought it for $5 : the seller didnt know what it was. for me

12、a flea market is a sad place - all those memories of the past: stuff that used to be precious to people who have died or grown old or just moved away. hey, clam up, will you! ive heard enough already about how hard you work in the office. the cops found a man they know was a witness to the murder. b

13、ut he has clammed up and wont talk - hes afraid the killers mob will come after him if he testifies in court.科學(xué)家們說(shuō)，世界上有許多昆蟲對(duì)人類是有益的，但是也有好多小蟲子使人感到討厭，比如說(shuō)像蚊子、蒼蠅、跳蚤等。特別是跳蚤，它雖小，但是咬起人來(lái)很利害，讓人感到非常癢，而且還可能會(huì)傳染致命的病菌。可是，美國(guó)人倒是很喜歡跳蚤市場(chǎng)。跳蚤市場(chǎng)在英文里就是叫：flea market。 什么是flea market呢?flea market實(shí)際上和跳蚤一點(diǎn)關(guān)系都沒有。flea market是一種往

14、往在周末舉行的非正式集市，flea market一般都是在戶外，那兒有許多攤販出售各種各樣的東西，有不少都是用過的舊東西，新的東西也有，但是質(zhì)量一般都比較差，價(jià)錢也很便宜?？墒?，要是你眼光敏銳的話，你能花很少的錢買到很有價(jià)值的古董和其他東西，就像下面這個(gè)人一樣： i was lucky when i went to the flea market today. in the middle of all the worthless junk i found a carved jade chinese snuff bottle and bought it for five dollars: the

15、 seller didnt know what it was. 這個(gè)人說(shuō)：我今天去跳蚤市場(chǎng)，運(yùn)氣還真不錯(cuò)。在那些毫無(wú)用處的破玩意兒堆里，我找到一個(gè)中國(guó)鼻煙壺，是用玉做的，上面還有雕刻。我才化了五塊錢。賣東西的人根本不知道那是什么東西。 有的人很容易傷感，看到一些舊的東西就觸景生情，鉤起他們對(duì)以往的回憶。下面就是一個(gè)例子： for me a flea market is a sad place-all those memories of the past: stuff that used to be precious to people who have died or grown old or

16、 just moved away. 這人說(shuō)：在我看來(lái)，跳蚤市場(chǎng)是一個(gè)令人感傷的地方，市場(chǎng)上賣的東西過去對(duì)一些人來(lái)說(shuō)是很寶貴的，但是他們老的老了，死的死了，有的人也已經(jīng)不知去向了。 下面我們要給大家介紹的一個(gè)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)也很有趣，有時(shí)也很有用：to clam up。clam在中文里就是蛤蜊，當(dāng)蛤蜊外面的殼關(guān)起來(lái)的時(shí)候，你要想把它打開是不容易的。因此，clam up的意思就是嘴巴閉得緊緊的。當(dāng)然，在不同場(chǎng)合，它的意思也就有所不同。下面這個(gè)例子是一個(gè)人聽他朋友講話聽得太膩味了，于是他對(duì)他的朋友說(shuō)： hey, clam up, will you! ive heard enough already about how hard you work in the office! 這個(gè)人說(shuō)：咳，你別說(shuō)了，行不行!我已經(jīng)聽夠了你在辦公室工作多賣力的話了。 下面這個(gè)例子的情況可完全不同了。這是要這個(gè)人說(shuō)話，可是他偏不說(shuō)： the cops found a man they know was a witness to the murder. but he has clammed up and wont talk-hes afraid the killers mob will come
