透过俚语学习托福词汇:潦倒落魄与沧海一粟
1、poke one’s nose into something
XiaoDouDing is always poking her nose into other people’s business. I don’t see how she has time to take care of her own affairs.
小豆丁总是爱管闲事,我不知道她怎么会有时间处理她自己的事。
如果想记住这个俚语,大家可以记住nose这个显著的词语,什么nose最出名,当然是小狗狗啦,想到狗狗自然就想到狗拿耗子多管闲事...然后就想到管闲事了...
2、kick around 讨论;多考虑一下
Let’s kick around a few more proposals before we come to a final decision.
我们最后决定之前多考虑几个方案吧。
3、a drop in the bucket沧海一粟
The amount of money Mr. Howell spent on a new Rolls-Royce was just a drop in the bucket compared to his annual salary.
豪威尔先生卖一辆辛劳斯莱斯汽车的钱和他的年薪相比不过是沧海一粟。
我什么时候能有这么豪气?
4、Drop dead
Suzy told Mike, “Drop dead!” when he kept teasing her about her weight.
麦克不停的取笑苏齐的体重时,苏齐说:“你去死吧!”
以前经常说go dead,go dead 现在才知道错了。
5、 low-life落魄潦倒的人
生活中的低潮,低潮中的生活。过这样的生活的人,肯定是个落魄潦倒的人啊。
Chris is such a low-life. He sleeps on the park bench and drink booze all day.
克利斯真是落魄潦倒。他睡在公园板凳上而且整天喝酒。
好啦。
