【高中英语】5句最常用的习语,学会能让老外眼前一亮

【高中英语】5句最常用的习语，学会能让老外眼前一亮在我们日常生活的交谈中，带上一句成语或者是俗语会让人觉得逼格大涨。

同样地，英语交谈中也常有一些谚语的使用。

如果你会使用它们，可能你就是那个令人眼前一亮的人。

当然在看到这些俗语或是俚语时，它们直译后或许跟意译有较大差异。

不同语言中的俗语代表着不同国家的文化，我们在理解这些俗语的时候可不能只看字面意思哦。

1.one in a million万里挑一这句俗语较简单，可以直译也容易记忆。

举例：You are one in a million.你是万里挑一的。

当你用到现实生活中，可以表达对他人的夸赞。

这效果相信不是一句简单的You are beautiful！可以媲美的。

2.He is lifeless that is faultless.人无完人。

或者是可以用更文言文的方式来解释，译为人非圣贤孰能无过。

直译为：只有死人才不犯错误，字面意思上跟中文稍有偏差。

faultless相当于短语without mistake。

这句话常用于在听到某个受到追捧的人的缺点时常抒发的感叹。

比如：A:Andy is so rude. I don’t like his manner.安迪太粗鲁了，我可不喜欢他的举止B:But many girls like him.You know he is lifeless that is faultless.但许多女孩都喜欢他，人无完人嘛！3.More haste,less speed.欲速则不达。

举例：A:I've tired to learn English well,but I’m afraid I’ll give up.我想学好英语但总学不好，恐怕要放弃了。

B:Please don't.You know more haste,less speed.千万别。

你知道欲速则不达的。

提炼的句式为：more...less...类似的句式还有以下：The more you eat, the fatter you get.吃得越多，身体越胖。

英语习语

英语习语漫谈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。

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。

坐在后面的人本来满可以轻松地聊天,看风景,只要开车的人把你安全地带到目的地去不就完了吗?可是,偏偏有的人坐在后面还不甘心,老是要给开车的人不断地提出没有必要的指导、警告或批评。

2015年高中英语VOA习惯用语第341讲theshortendofthestick素材

第341讲 the short end of the stick...内容：我们上次讲了几个由end组成的习惯用语。

今天要继续讲两个。

第一个是: the short end of the stick。

Stick是枝条或者棍子。

从本世纪初开始美国人惯于把任何处于劣势的称为the short end。

这可能来自拔河比赛。

嬴家手上掌握著长的一头。

就是the long end，而输家则是短的一头。

也就是the short end。

到了三十年代末这个短语后面添加了the stick，成了今天的the short end of the stick。

我们来听个例子。

这是一名记者对一个非洲国家最近发生的政变能否改变国内贫苦大众的命运表示悲观。

例句-1：I'm afraid the poor people will end up getting the short end of the stick again. Only a small part of the population has enjoyed everything from power to wealth. 他说：恐怕那儿的穷人还会再次吃亏。

只有一小部分人才会有财有势得到一切。

所以这儿getting the short end of the stick意思是吃亏。

换句话说是得到不公平的待遇。

我们再来听个例子，这是John在和律师商议，想控告他受雇的公司在工作上有徇私偏袒行为。

我们来听听他怎么说: 例句-2：I've received the short end of the stick too many times during the last ten years. Only the inexperienced and least qualified get promoted because the boss likes pretty young women. 他说：这十年来我受到的不公平待遇太多了。

2015年高中英语VOA习惯用语第457讲keepastiffupperlip素材

第457讲 keep a stiff upper lip...内容：今天我们要学的习惯用语有共同的关键词: lip。

大家都知道lip是嘴唇。

嘴唇可是我们身上忙碌的器官，我们说话，吃喝都得靠嘴唇帮忙。

嘴唇还帮我们传情达意。

难怪由lip这个词发展而来的习惯用法还真不少。

首先l ip自身在俚语里就有特定的意思。

它指粗鲁莽撞的话语。

我们听个例子。

这是个发火的爸爸在训斥他十多岁的儿子Billy，因为他要求儿子在半夜十二点前回家，儿子却强词夺理地不服气。

我们听听这位父亲怎么管教儿子。

注意话里的lip这个词。

例句-1：Look, Billy, that's no way to talk to your dad; don't give me anymore lip, son. You better be home by midnight or you can't use the car for a month. Do you hear me?他说：瞧，Billy，你不能这样跟爸爸说话，别再跟我强嘴了，你得半夜前回家，否则一个月都不可以用车。

听到了吗?这位父亲显然认为儿子不听他的话，不愿意半夜前回家还要跟他争辩是不合情理的顶撞，所以他说lip就是指这种顶撞的话。

******再学个包括lip这个词的习惯用语: keep a stiff upper lip。

Stiff，在这儿的意思是绷紧不动的，所以keep a stiff upp er lip要是直译就是: 绷紧上唇保持不动。

不少人认为这个习惯用语来自英国，但是语言学家却说它起源于1830年前后的美国，随即传往英国伦敦，然后在英国军中流行，最后再传回美国。

我们知道处于危急情势而万分惊恐的人嘴唇往往会不由自主地哆嗦。

忧伤悲痛强忍眼泪的人有时双唇也会抖动。

然而上下唇中上唇没下唇抖动得厉害，而在1830年的时候，美国男士几乎人人都留八字胡，这就使上唇的抖动更显眼。

体育中的俚语与习语

throw a curve ball 来源：curve 意为“曲线”，因此threw a curve ball意为
“投出曲线球”。在棒球运动中，投手投出曲线球后，球在空中方向会发生变化，让击球手无法及时反应。
引申义：“a curve ball”意指“意外的难题”。 eg：The weather threw a curve ball at their outdoor
picnic and they had to eat indoors. 天气忽然变得很糟糕，他们不得不中断室外的野餐，而到室内吃。
step up to the plate 来源：在棒球运动的大菱形内场上，人们注目的焦点在球
场下端的角上。这是个十四英寸见方的木块或者橡胶，称为本垒（home plate），也可以简称为垒（plate）。击球手就站在这块plate上面，击打投手向他投掷的球。当一名棒球运动员准备击球的时候，他就拿起球棒踏上本垒，英文的说法就是:step up to the plate。引申义：该习语发展至今，就有了“开始行动，开始做某事”的意思了。 eg: Senator Smith will be the first to step up to the plate tomorrow to ask other senators to vote in favor of the President’s Health Care Bill.参议员史密斯明天将最先发表意见，要求其他参议员对总统的医疗保险议案投赞成票。
to play ball
• primary meaning: • You play ball with me and I'll play ball with you. • extended sense: • "Look, you play ball with me and tell me who your boss is, and maybe we can get the judge to take it easy on you." • To get his programs passed through the congress, a president sometimes has to play ball with members of the opposing party and do them favors in return for their votes.

2015年高中英语VOA习惯用语第477讲intheloop素材

第477讲 in the loop; loophole内容：今天还是要继续讲在大选期间新闻界常用来报道竞选运动的两个习惯用语，而且今天要说的习惯用语包含一个共同的词：loop。

Loop通常有好几种不同的意思。

其中之一是用绳子打成的环、圈。

另一种解释是电路的回路。

今天要学的第一个习惯用语是：in the loop。

在这个习惯用语里的loop，它的意思是圈子，但是那可不是绳子系成的圈子，而是指圈内人物，具体说是互通重要情报、共同参与决策的一个群体。

如果有人说你在办公室内是in the loop，那么他的意思是你的地位比一般人更为重要一些。

换句话说，你是接近领导中心的内围人物。

In the loop这个习惯用语也常用在政界的竞选运动中。

我们来听个例子。

说话的人要向我们描述他的表兄弟。

这位表兄弟是某总统候选人竞选班子里的首要人物。

然而他与众不同的是，他尽量低调处理自己的形象，避免他个人在公众间扬名。

这个意思用英文来表达就是：avoid personal publicity for himself。

Avoid personal publicity for himself意思就是避免为他个人扬名。

我们来听关于这位表兄弟John的事儿，特别注意里面用的习惯用语in the loop。

例句-1：Unlike a lot of people, John tries to avoid personal publicity for himself. He doesn't like his name in the papers. But he's certainly in the loo p: the candidate keeps him fully informed and listens to his advice before he makes a decision.他说： John与众不同的是他尽量避免为自己扬名。

学俚语记单词：远亲不如近邻

本篇学习要点： 1. have a hollow leg 海量，千杯不醉 2. give...a once-over 稍微...就⾏ 3. face the music 做错事⾯对惩罚，等着挨说 4. Stir up a storm in a teacup ⼩题⼤做 5. Count me in 加我⼀个来说说我的邻居们吧，为了更好的了解美国当地⽂化，我没有选择学校宿舍，⽽是和朋友⼀起在外⾯合租房⼦。

刚搬进去的第⼆天早上，我⼀出门就碰上了住在旁边的邻居。

此⼈还真是个典型的美国lummox(傻⼤个⼉)，⽬测⾝⾼怎么也得接近2⽶，话说他看见我出门，毫不认⽣的上前来介绍⾃⼰，Hi, I’m Lucifer, are you my new neighbor? Nice to meet you! By the way, u like drinking? Go with me then! I have a hollow leg! 什么？这⼈难道有特异功能不成，怎么腿还是空的呢？我正纳闷的时候，他的⼥朋友领着⽔桶⾛出来解释道，Don’t worry, he just shows off his drinking capacity to everyone. 我这才恍然⼤悟，原来have a hollow leg是海量，很能喝的意思。

解读：have a hollow leg从字⾯上来看，某⼈的腿是空⼼⼉的，真是够可怕的，但仔细⼀想，酒瓶酒桶不都是空空的才能装满酒吗。

所以说，⼀个酒量⼤的⼈之所以喝多少都不会醉，是因为他除了肚⼦外，还有两条hollow legs可以装酒那。

我这才发现Lucifer的⼥朋友拎着⽔桶晃晃悠悠的⾛向了车库， do you need a hand? 我试图帮忙，no thanks, the car’s not very dirty, a one-over will do. 没等我反应过来，她已经开始擦起车来了，看她擦车的架势，再看看她并不很脏的车，我恍然明⽩了她的话，原来这⾥的once-over就是我们平时常说的稍微胡虏⼀把就⾏了的意思，如果车到了很脏的地步，那就要⽤wash my car了。
