  有意思的英文短语1

the bullet

据说19世纪早期,麻醉剂还没有普及,病人或士兵在做手术的时候,只能咬一颗子弹来忍痛,“bite the bullet”的说法就源于此,意思是强迫自己做不喜欢的事儿,或是是渡过难关。 18世纪末期有个类似的说法“chew a bullet”。

eg:I don't really want to exercise today, but I'll bite the bulletandgo for a run.

今天我真不想锻炼,但是,还是勉强跑跑吧。

might fly

猪是不会飞的,所以这个说法用来形容永远不会发生的事儿。用来讽刺一个人的话不可信。 eg:-I might clean my bedroom tomorrow.

明天我可能会打扫一下我的卧室哦。

-Yes, and pigs might fly.恩,猪都会飞啦!(太阳打西边出来啦!)

's your uncle

就算你的叔叔不叫Bob,你也会经常听到这个习语,表示已完成某事或者成功搞定某事。另一种说法"„and that's that"。

eg:You're looking for the station? Take a left, then the first right and Bob's your uncle – you're there!你在找车站在哪儿吗?向左转,然后右边第一个就是,你就看到了!

ringer

这个短语表示一件东西像是另一件东西的复刻品,主要是说一个人长得像另一个人。这个说法源于很久以前,相传有些人被判定死亡,下葬之后发现TA并没有真正死亡,这就比较尴尬了,所以人们为了避免这种情况,就在被安葬人的手指上系一根绳子,另一端拴在坟墓旁的一个铃铛上,如果那个人醒来,就会拉响铃铛。所以dead ringer就代表着被安葬的那个人。

eg:That guy over there is a dead ringer for my ex-boyfriend.

那个人长得太像我前男友了。

the back of a lorry

这个短语是说买的东西有可能是偷来的,或表示某人出售偷来or非法得来的东西。也可以用来开玩笑:你买的东西这么便宜,一定是别人偷的拿出来卖。

eg:I can't believe these shoes were so cheap – they must have fallen off the back of a lorry. 真不敢相信这鞋这么便宜——偷来的吧。
