5个难倒一般人的英语习语

1.Bite 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 bullet andgo for a run.

今天我真不想锻炼，但是，还是勉强跑跑吧。

2.Pigs 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！）

3.Bob'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！

4.Dead 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。

5.Off 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。
