常用美国习惯用语

常用美国习惯用语

常用美国习惯用语1. give me a hand美国人经常说:"Give me a hand." 按照字面来理解, "give me a hand"就是"给我一只手"。

可是,它的意思却是"帮我一下忙。

"2. foot the bill"foot"的意思是"一只脚",而"bill"在这儿的解释是"账单"。

"foot the bill"并不是"把账单踩在脚底下", 而是"付账"的意思。

另外,有的时候,一个词有好几种解释。

例如:3. blow outWe arrived two hours late at the big blow-out for Charle's birthday because our car had a blow-out. 由于我们车胎爆了,所以我们晚了两个小时才到达查理举行生日宴会的地方。

这句话里第一个blow-out是指"规模很大的聚会",第二个blow-out是指"汽车的轮胎爆了"。

4. backseat driverbackseat是由back和seat这两个词组成的。

back是"后面的"的意思,seat就是"座位"。

backseat两个词合在一起就是指"汽车后面一排的座位"。

driver就是"司机"。

那么,坐在后面座位上的人怎么能开车呢?这就是backseat driver作为习语的意思了。

在美国开车出门是许多人每天生活的一部分。

开车的技术当然每个人都不一样,但一般来说,开车的人都不太喜欢别人对他指指点点,教他怎么开,怎么走。

今天小编给大家带来了美国习语,希望能够帮助到大家,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏准备一下吧。

美国习语第28街A black sheepA white lie黑颜色和白颜色往往是对立的。

黑代表黑夜和邪恶,而白象征着日光、善良或美德。

在美国好莱坞早期那些无声电影里,导演往往给英雄人物戴上白帽子,而给坏蛋戴黑帽子。

这样,连十岁的孩子一看就马上知道谁是好人,谁是坏人。

白帽和黑帽就这样逐渐成了一个习惯的说法,也就是 white hats and black hats.White hats and black hats 就代表好人和坏人。

黑和白这两个字 black and white 经常在美国的成语和俗语中出现。

可是,它们并不一定像好人、坏人那样黑白分明。

有时候,黑还具有肯定和积极的意思。

例如,对一个做生意的人来说in the black 就意味着赚钱,而不是亏本。

今天,我们要讲两个和 black and white 这两个字有关的成语。

首先我们来讲一个和black有关的常用语 a black sheep.Black 当然是指黑颜色,而sheep 是一头羊的意思。

一头黑颜色的羊 a black sheep 指的是一个给他周围的人带来耻辱的人。

请听下面这个例子:例句-1: "Uncle Joe is the black sheep in the family. Instead of getting a job, all he does is drink too much, gamble away any money he gets and chase after women."这句话翻成中文就是:"乔叔叔是他们家的败家子。

他不是去找个工作,而是成天喝酒,有了一点钱就去赌,还老是玩女人。

"我们再来举一个例子:例句-2: "We all thought my youngest brother was the black sheep in our family. In fact he was in so much trouble he ran away to Australia.But he started a new life there, married a wonderful girl, and now he's a millionaire."这句话的意思是:"我们都认为我最小的弟弟是我们家的败家子。
