托福词汇之“煞风景的人Fun sponge”
2016-04-06来源:互联网
A fun sponge refers to a joyless or grumpy person who soaks up all the funout of an event or situation, in a way a normal sponge sucks up liquid aroundit.
Fun sponge指无趣又坏脾气的人,能够“吸干”周遭环境中的一切乐趣,就像海绵吸干周遭的水分一样。
这个说法的字面意思是“欢乐海绵”,但实际上是破坏欢乐氛围的海绵,所以,我们可以称之为“欢乐终结者”。
【For example】:
Why did you invite him to the party? He's such a fun sponge. He iscomplaining about everything at the party and arguing with almost everyone hemeets.
你干吗请他来派对啊?他就是个“欢乐终结者”。他一直在不停抱怨,遇上谁就跟谁起争执。
