第一, 迷你对话

B: Yes, I had many cold snacks and cold drinks last night. I fell rather insufferable now.

是的,我昨晚吃了很多冷食,喝了很多冷饮。现在感觉好难受。

第二, 短语

lose one’s lunch

1. 解释

Lose one’s lunch是美国俚语,表示“呕吐”的意思。与之意思相近的一个短语是“shoot one’s lunch”。其字面意思是“把饭菜射出去”,这样很形象地表现人呕吐时,那种胃里翻江倒海,食物喷涌而出的情景。

2. 例句

e.g. The unpleasant smell made her sick and she began to lose her lunch.

那难闻的味道令她不适,她开始呕吐起来。

e.g. He loosed his lunch after drinking too much.

他酒喝得太多,呕吐了。

e.g. I felt sick at night and in the morning after breakfast I lost my lunch.

我当天夜里就觉得不舒服,第二天早饭后竟然呕吐。

e.g. The swaying of the smoky little room was making Natalie lose her lunch.

这个烟雾腾腾的小房间不住摇晃,使娜塔丽要想呕吐。

第三, 咬文嚼字

1. cold snacks:冰冷的零食 cold drinks:冷饮 last night:昨晚

2. insufferable的意思是“难以忍受的,不可忍受的,令人厌恶的”。例如:

He was insufferable at times — self-centred and narcissistic.

他有时让人难以容忍——自我中心,自我陶醉。

His insufferable insolence cost him many friends.

他那令人难以容忍的蛮横态度使他失掉了许多朋友。
