有关于五官的英语习语
to n g u e
smite with the tongue
血口喷人
Don't offend her. She always smites with the tongue.
千万别得罪她,她经常血口喷人
tongue-lashing
狠狠训斥
When I was ten years old, mother caught me smoking a cigarette in the backyard. She gave me such a tongue-lashing that I've never touched another cigarette all my life.
我在家里碰上麻烦了。我昨晚叫错了太太的名字,我叫她 "Susan",而她的 名字是 "Betty"。 Susan是我以前的女朋友。这实在只是个口误,但是Betty却 光火得再也不理我
Don't trust the guy. He usually speaks with a forked tongue
wet behind the ears 乳臭未干 behind the ears 直译的话,意思是:耳朵背后是潮 的。这个习惯用语从20世纪早期开始在报刊杂志中 出现,而在此之前,这一说法已经被人们广泛使用 了。 这个习语源于这样的说法:胎生动物,如马、牛、 羊刚生下来的时候全身湿漉漉的;别的地方很快会 干,但是耳朵背后却还是湿的。所以说某人耳朵背 后是潮的,是比喻这人还没有真正长大,太年轻, 缺 乏人生经验。英文注释是:If someone is wet behind the ears, they don't have much experience of life.
高中英语之巧记颜色俚语color idioms(课件)
(3)yellow 黄色
黄色是太阳公公的本色,它饱含智慧与生命力,让人显得年轻有朝气,它被认为是知识和光明的象征。黄色在英语和汉语中的引申含义差别比较大。在英语中,yellow可以表示“胆小、卑怯、卑鄙”的意思,例如: a yellow dog 可鄙的人He is too yellow to stand up and fight. 他太软弱,不敢起来斗争。 汉语中黄色一词有时象征低级趣味、色情庸俗的意思,如黄色电影、黄色书刊等。这些名称中的“黄”与英语中的“yellow”无关。能够表示汉语中这些意思的词汇应该是:pornographic、vulgar等。然而,英语中另一个颜色词blue却常用来表示汉语中这类意思,如blue jokes(下流的玩笑), blue films(黄色电影)等。
Yellow is often associated with happiness, optimism, and cowardice. Here are some common yellow idioms:Yellow-belly: coward胆小鬼Example: He was a yellow-bellied cowboy. He always ran away from a fight.Belly means stomach. If your belly is yellow, you are not brave. This idiom isn’t used as much nowadays as it was in the past.
卑鄙无耻的小人
brown(棕色)
brown sugar
红糖
brown nose
献殷勤,拍马屁
颜色的具体含义
红色是一种热烈的颜色,它象征着鲜血、烈火、生命和爱情。红色的热情让人有一种勇敢的冲劲,它能鼓舞人的情绪。在我国,红色是火,是吉庆、热情的象征,但在英语国家的人眼中红色则意味着流血、危险或暴力。同时在英语和汉语中,红色有时可以完全对应,有时却大相径庭。红旗 red flag 红糖 brown sugar 红茶 black tea 红榜 honour roll 红豆 love pea 红运 good luck
美国习语第62街
美国习语第62街习语搜索: eyes pop outnot even bat an eye人们在碰到突然的、出乎意料之外的事的时候往往会睁大了眼睛表示惊奇。
美国人在形容这种情景时经常说: Somebody's eyes pop out.其实,中国人在形容某人感到十分惊奇时也经常说:那个人的眼珠子都快掉出来了。
这和英文里的eyes pop out 很相似。
现在我们来举个例子吧:例句-1: My wife's eyes popped out when she saw the necklace I bought her for our twentieth wedding anniversary.这个人说:"在我们庆祝结婚二十周年时,我给我的妻子买了一条项链。
当她看到那条项链时,她眼睛睁得可大了。
"大家都可能知道,美国的离婚率是很高的,正因为如此,人们对结婚周年是很重视的,特别是逢十的结婚周年,如二十周年、三十周年等,一般当事人都要举行盛大庆祝活动。
Have your eyes popped out还可以用在其它场合,下面就是一个例子:例句-2: I hadn't seen my niece since she was a child, so when she visited town the other day my eyes popped out -- she's grown into a very beautiful young woman.这个人说:"我还是在我侄女是个孩子的时候见过她。
自从那时起,我一直就没有机会见到她。
因此,那天她突然来这儿访问使我感到十分惊奇。
她已经长大,变成一个很漂亮的年轻少女了。
"有的人不管发生什么大事,似乎从来也不会感到惊奇;他们总能保持镇静,连眼睛都不眨一下。
这在英文里就是:Not even bat an eye。
趣味阅读:五官和动物英语习语趣谈
趣味阅读:五官和动物英语习语趣谈与五官有关的习语EyeThe eyes are extremely precious to us. That is why we say“Mind your eye(当心)!”when we reminding someone to be careful.Not only human beings and animals have eyes, many things also have“eyes”- the eyes of a ship, the eye of a needle, the eye of a typhoon, and so on.EarThe ear is the organ of hearing. A piece of light music is easy on the ear. (悦耳动听). We are usually all ears (专心聆听) for bit news.When they think somebody is overhearing, English people use either of the two proverbs: Walls have ears (隔墙有耳) and Pitchers have ears (壶罐有耳). They also think that little pitchers have big ears(小孩子耳朵尖). Nice boys and girls respect other people. They will not secretly listen to others' private conversations.I am all ears 洗耳恭听One day, we hired a carpenter to repair our house. I dwelt on (详细讲述)all the details that needed repairing to him. Then I asked him, "Are you clear? Can you remember all that?" "Yes!" the carpenter replied. "I am all ears!" I felt puzzled and did not know what he meant. Later my eldest son explained to me that he meant, "I am listening attentively!"NoseThe English phrase "face to face(面对面)" and its Chinese counterpart(对应)are exactly the same. But English people, to express the same idea, can say nose to nose instead. There is no such substitute in Chinese.The word nose appears in many idioms. Here are two which are quite similar to their Chinese equivalents: lead somebody by the nose(牵着某人的鼻子走) and turn up one's nose at somebody or something (对某人或某物嗤之一鼻).LipWe have two lips: the upper lip and the lower lip. If one's two lips are closed, onecannot speak. So it goes without saying that "don't open your lips (不要开口)" means "don't speak".His lips are sealed. Are his lips really stuck together by wax or glue? No, his lips are sealed when asked about something that he must keep secret. Sometimes a top secret is betrayed because it has escaped someone's lips (脱口而出). Then the incident may become a piece of news that is on everybody's lips (众口相传).TongueWe all know we cannot speak without the tongue. So the tongue is closely related to speech. To hold one's tongue (保持沉默) means "to keep silent". A person who has too much tongue (太多嘴) is disliked by all, for he is too talkative. Mother tongue is not the tongue of a mother: it is a person's native language."Don't you have a moth below your nose (你鼻子底下不是有张嘴吗)?”The Chinese say so to blame a person who did not say what he should have said. But this is not the right way to express the idea in English. English people would say, "You have a tongue in your head, haven't you?"与动物有关的谚语羊sheep,羊,绵羊,也用来表示羞答答的人,及作“胆小鬼”、“信徒”之意。
