英文俚语

1.Nickel的价值仅高于penny，是值五美分的硬币。Nickel通常指一种银白色的金属, 镍，五分硬币里含有镍，所以称为nickel。今天要学的习惯用语是：nickel-and-dime。

Dime是值十美分的硬币。Dime的价值虽然是nickel的两倍，但是dime也只是一枚很小的硬币，而且dime跟nickel相比是既小又薄，原因是过去曾经用比镍贵重得多的银子来铸造dime。 Nickel-and-dime既可以被当作一个动词来用，也可以作为一个形容词。我们还是通过例句来领会它的意思吧。先听一位爸爸在抱怨自己两个十多岁的子女老向父母要零花钱，数目虽然不大，但是长年累月、积少成多，也成为负担了。请注意他话里的习惯用语nickel-and-dime是个复合动词：例句-1：Our kids Bill and Susie nickel-and-dime my wife and me to death. It's just a few dollars every time, but it never stops and after a while it adds up to so much money it makes quite a hole in our pockets. 他说：他们的孩子Bill和Susie老问他和太太来要零花钱，烦得要命。虽然每回只是几美元，但是没完没了，长此以往，就成了一大笔钱，好象他们口袋里有个窟窿似的。这段话里的复合动词nickel-and-dime意思显然是零打碎敲地长期消耗，而花费了大笔钱财。刚才说过习惯用语nickel-and-dime也可以当形容词用。比方说，在这句话里：例句-2：He has a little nickle-and-dime business that makes just enough money to put food on the table and pay the rent. 这句话是说一个人有个小本经营的小买卖，挣来的钱刚够饭钱和房租。这里的nickle-and-dime描绘business，是形容词，意思就是“小本经营的”，或者“微不足道的”，相当于我们上次学到的penny-ante。 2.idgaf是什么意思呢？其实就是I don't give a fuck的缩写，意思是我才不在乎，管它呢！相当于我们平时常说的I don't care，与I don't give a shit意思相同。

与身体部位有关的英语习语

与身体部位有关的英语习语 1. Head The head is thought to be the most important part of the human body. So a leader is often compared to a head (首脑). Thus we have Head of State or the head of a delegation. The head is where the brain is located. It is naturally associated with ideas and intelligence. Very often, we need other people's ideas and opinions when we want to do something well. The is because two heads are better than one (三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮). 2. Eye The 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. 3. Ear The 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. 4. Nose The 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）. English people can say as plain as the nose in one's face (一清二楚) to mean "very obvious". May be to them, the nose is the most conspicuous part of the face. 5. Lip We have two lips: the upper lip and the lower lip. If one's two lips are closed, one cannot 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). 6. Tongue We 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

英语常用俚语

英语中的俚语、口语或“顺口溜”很多，它们的意义，往往与字面意义不同，有时也不合文法的结构，所以正确了解和灵活使用，是学习英语者的难题之一。下面即是常见的一些，供读者参考。 1. to be (或become) fed up with (someone 或something)：意思是对某人或某事感到讨厌或厌倦（to get tired of; to be disgusted or to get sick of); 例如：I am fed up with his constant complaints.（他常常的抱怨令我厌烦。） We all became fed up with his long speech.（他的长篇演说我们都觉得讨厌。） The husband has been fed up with his wife's nagging.（老公对老婆的唠叨感到厌烦。）如果只用「to be fed up」也可以： I will not wait for her; I am fed up. (我不想再等她了；我厌了。) (动词时态是：feed, fed, fed) 可见这句俚语似乎有「被动味道」，如果用feed，意思又不同了。例如：The mother will feed the baby with milk.（母亲喂婴儿牛奶。) (feed 是及物动词) The cattle feed on grass (牛以草为生。)（feed 是不及物动词）但是The cattle were fed with the grass by the farmer.（农夫用草喂牛。） (cattle 是复合名词，意为复数); 可以说：I am fed up with him. (我讨厌他) (但不能说：I feed up with him.） 2. to be in a rut：是指对每天同样的工作或是墨守成规一成不变的习惯，感到单调乏味 (to be tired of routine job; nothing new or excited) (rut 这个字本意是惯例或老套）。例如：He has not been promoted for 20 years; he must be in a rut.（他廿年未获升级，一定感到单调枯燥。) After thirty years of the same job, he feels he is in a rut.（干了卅年同样的工作，他觉得枯燥乏味。）所以要放弃单调枯燥的生活方式，就是to get out of the rut. 例如：If you hate your old job, you need to get out of the rut.（假如你不喜欢你的老工作，你就要走出乏味的日子。） 3. to cut the cord: 意思是父母要让儿女离家过著独立自主的生活 (let your children leave home and become independent) (只用於父母与儿女间的关系); 例如：When your children are old enough to take care of themselves, you have to cut t he cord.（当你的孩子长大可以照顾他们自己时，你就应该让他们自力更生。）(即切断依赖父母的脐带。) It is very difficult for many Chinese parents to cut the cord with their children.（许多中国父母很难让儿女完全独立自主。）(注：这里的cord，是指umbilical cord 即脐带。） 4. to start from square one: 意思是上次没有成功，必须回到起点从头做起 (something did not succeed in the first place, have to start over again）(这与to be bac

12个英语俚语,形容各色类型的人

1. a wise guy 骄傲自大的人。这里的wise并不表示“聪明”，相反它含有讽刺的意味。Alic’s all right, I guess, but sometimes he’s such a wise guy. 据我看，亚历克这个人还不赖，不过有时候太狂妄自大了。有时候本词组还用于朋友之间的调侃。Who’s the wise guy that took my lunch box? 是哪位机灵的大爷拿走了我的饭盒？ 2. a shrinking violet 畏首畏尾的人。原意为“正在发蔫的紫罗兰”。紫罗兰在背阴的地方悄悄地开花，所以violet是谦虚的象征，代表“腼腆的人”，但加上shrinking意思就有了变化。George has a very good mind. He would rise fast in the world if he weren’t such a shrinking violet. 乔治很聪明。如果他不是一个畏首畏尾的人，在社会上早就出人头地了。 3. a backseat driver 不在权限范围内而指手划脚的人。在美国开车出门是许多人生活的一部分。开车的技术当然每个人都不一样，一般来说，开车的人都不太愿意被别人指指点点。所以我们把那些老是喜欢在后面给开车的人提出不必要的指导和建议的人叫做backseat driver。One place where you find lots of backseat drivers is in politics. 要说指手画脚的人，在政界你可以找到好多。 4. a wet blanket 令人扫兴的人。这一表达的来源是：当发生火灾的时候，为了扑火，把湿毛毯盖到火上。后用来指在社交场合泼冷水、令人扫兴的人。I’m sorry to be such a wet blanket, but I’m afraid I have to go home now. 我让大家扫兴，实在太对不起了。不过，我现在必须回家啦。 5. a late bloomer 大器晚成的人。原意是“迟开的花”，与人大器晚成相似。Paul was such a slow worker at first that we almost fired him, but he proved to be a late bloomer. 保罗初来时工作非常迟钝，我们几乎要开除他，但最终证实他是一个有潜力的人。 6. an apple polisher 拍马屁者。过去美国学生为了讨好老师，把擦得光光亮亮的苹果递给老师，本词组源于此。You should take much care of him, and he’s a real apple polisher. 你可得多留心那小子，他可是个货真价实的马屁精。 7. an ugly customer 粗暴的人。 Ugly是ugly behavior（行为丑恶）的意思，指使用暴力，威胁他人。Customer原意为“顾客”，转用于表示“一沾上边就会有麻烦的人”。When he starts drinking, he can become an ugly customer. 他一喝上酒就会大吵大闹，令人真是没办法。 8. a visiting fireman 远方的客人。
