透过俚语学习托福词汇:弥天大谎与人体艺术
命运前奏,开始鸣响。
1、cock and bull story
有位哲人说过,说谎是一门艺术。
提到这里,我突然有个灵感...
这两天没更新的原因是我被月球人接到了火星...
2、His sands have run out.
He passed away.
His time has come.
He expired.
He has climbed the golden staircase.
His number is up.
His sands have run out.
He has gone to see Mark.
His star has set.
He has joined the majority.
He is sleeping the final sleep.
He is resting in peace.
He has met his end.
He has breathed his last.
He answered the last number.
He bought the farm.
He has bitten the dust.
He was called to God.
He was called home.
He has joined the angles.
总结成一句中文相关...他死了..
3、at the top of one’s lungs 声嘶力竭
I yelled at the top of my lungs to get AMY’s attention. But she seems to be deaf.
(我声嘶力竭地大喊想要引起艾米的注意。不过她像是聋了一样。)
Didn’t you see that she was wearing earphones? Every time she listens to rock-n-roll, she turns the volume way up.
(你没看见他戴着耳机吗?他每次听摇滚乐总把音量开到最大。)
坦白说,这是诋毁,赤裸裸的诋毁..
AMY姐最好啦~~~
4、lose one’s temper
1.A: What do you think of your girlfriend?
你觉得你女朋友怎么样?
B: Everything’s all right except for her temper. When she loses her temper, there’s nothing you can do about it.
什么都好,就是脾气不太好。当她发脾气时,你简直拿她没办法。
你可千万不要把LOSE ONE’S TEMPER当成是失去脾气(没有脾气的意思),如果是那样的话,看来你需要以后在神父面前忏悔和祈祷了..
想当初,俺发表征婚启事的时候,小豆丁就是靠这条应聘的...当时她说这是她唯一的缺点。。我居然以为他在谦虚...
我真是a dankey..
5、on one’s last legs
一个H笑话..
车祸,小明丢了一条腿,
又一次车祸,小明丢了second leg,
now 小明 on his last legs。。
如果你真的把H理解成黄色那说明你的思维还不是一般的色情...
on one’s last legs, 此处last指“腿已经不能再动”,亦即“腿的机能已达到最后限度”,引申为精疲力竭、垮台、崩溃等意。
