托福词汇之“火冒三丈”
2015-06-02来源:互联网
有没有遇到过脾气很不好的老板?如果你没有按时完成工作,他就会暴跳如雷呢?
最近Mary可就遇到这样的问题了:
Mary's been always very slow in her work. Her boss has warned her severaltimes. Yesterday, when she again missed the deadline for a report, he hit theceiling and fired her on the spot.
玛丽的工作速度总是很慢。她的老板已经警告她好几次了。昨天,当她的老板听说她又没能在限期前写完一个报告,他火冒三丈,当时就解雇了她。
上面这句话里面的 hit the ceiling 就是“火冒三丈,暴跳如雷”的意思,怒气冲的都要到天花板了,看来真的是很生气哦。
