 You are nothing but a noodle if you are cheated by him. 如果你被他騙了，那你就是個傻子。 Did that hit you on the noodle? 撞到你腦袋了嗎？ Use your noodle - clear the shelves before you paint the cupboard! noodle around 這里在說一個很常見的短語，noodle around，它的意思是“（花時間）調查、追求和研究某物“，“消磨時間”，來跟著例句一起學習下吧。 I could spend hours in the library just noodling around all the old books they have there. 我可以在圖書館一待就是幾個小時，只是單純?yōu)榱搜芯克麄兞粼谀莾旱膸妆九f書。 I don't want you in the house noodling around all weekend long. 我并不希望你宅在家里把一整周的時間都荒廢了。 bring home the bacon 說完noodle，再給大家拓展一下其他與食物相關的有趣英文俚語。 大家都吃過bacon，其實就是我們常說的培根，是一種帶有咸味的煙熏豬肉。那么，短語bring home the bacon是什么意思呢？從字面上看，其意思是“把培根帶回家”，好像還是難以理解... 其實，短語“bring home the bacon 把培根帶回家”的含義和這種事物無關，而是指“在外掙錢，從而維持家庭生計”，也就是“養(yǎng)家糊口”的意思。 My father stays home and takes care of us and my mother brings home the bacon. 爸爸在家里照顧我們，而媽媽在外掙錢。 As the eldest child, Mark has a lot of responsibility– he has to finish his degree while bringing home the bacon. 作為長子，馬克肩負重任，他得邊讀完學位邊養(yǎng)家糊口。 眾所周知，butter就是黃油，那么butter up someone是什么意思呢？往某人身上涂黃油？而生活中，butter up someone 則表示”為了從某人身上得到好處而拍某人的馬屁。“ tough的意思是”堅硬的、堅強的“，cookie則是”餅干”，但千萬別想當然地把tough cookie翻譯成“硬餅干”.... 其實，該短語的真正意思是指“意志堅強的人”，另外也可以指“不易動感情的人，不易受傷害的人，難以相處的人“。 She had a difficult childhood, but she's a tough cookie. I know she'll be a success. 她的童年雖艱辛，但她本人意志堅強。我知道她一定會成功。 He is a tough cookie when it comes to making a deal. |
