南京雅思口语培训费用
1. air one’s dirty laundry in public – discuss personal problems openly.从字面上可以看出是把脏衣服晒在公共场所,很少有人愿意把自己脏乱邋遢的一面展现在公众面前吧。就如同中国有句古话:家丑不可外扬。意思是一样一样一样的!
FA姐建议:这样的句型比较适合放在人物题中,描述人物的个性或职业特性(狗仔)
例如:
He is a very private person. If he has a problem in his family he doesn’t want to air his dirty laundry in public.
The paparazzi always air the dirty laundry of celebrities in public for a living.
2. back on one’s feet – financially or physically healthy again.字面意思是重新站起来,也可理解为东山再起。
FA姐建议:人物题中比较容易用到此句型,特别在某人经历过失败之后重振雄风的场景中; 事件题中关于business也适合此句型。
例如:
He was back on his feet and finally won the gold medal.
Since sales improved, he is doing better and he’s getting back on his feet.
3. all thumbs – clumsy, unable to fix things. 拇指相对于其他手指来说并不怎么灵活,所以当你十个手指都是拇指的时候,也就意味着你不够灵活,比较笨拙的意思。
FA姐建议:这样的表达方式比较适合放在事件题和物品题中,特别是和手工相关的话题,可以放心大胆用一用哦!
例如:
Don’t ask me to put that clock back together. I’m all thumbs.
I’m good at cooking, however I’m all thumbs when it comes to cleaning the kitchen.
4. backbone – courage. 字面意义为脊骨,是支撑人直立的重要部分,所以也作中坚力量、骨干力量之解。但在习语里它更作为一个抽象的意义——骨气。
FA姐建议:看到这个词的时候,FA姐脑海中立即闪现的是人物题常考的一个话题—— an adventurous person,这样的人绝对有backbone!
例如:
He has no backbone because he was afraid to reprimand her.
You’ve got to have enough backbone to be a member of the bungee jumping club.
5. ballpark figure – approximate amount. Ballpark也就是棒球场,figure可作人头解释。一个棒球场中的人数只能估算,所以ballpark figure就是大概数目的意思啦!
FA姐建议:口语中表述大概数目的时候可以用ballpark figure 来代替about... 或 approximately...
例如:
When I asked the contractor how much it would be to remodel the kitchen, he gave me a ballpark figure.
It costs me 3000 pounds as a ballpark figure to buy that GUCCI bag.
6. blow it – lose a chance, make a mistake. FA姐一直认为中西文化在某些方面是完全相通的,比如吹这个字,都表示错失良机或者(用**近比较流行的说法)凉了。
FA姐建议:这个习语可用来描述某个事件被搞砸了或者某人犯了什么错。
例如:
I knew I blew it when I forgot my lines in the play.
They all counted on me to win the battle, yet I blew it all up.
7. call someone’s bluff – have someone prove what he says. 在玩德州扑克的时候,经常会有玩家用虚张声势来赢牌,当然也会有更高段位的玩家直接叫牌或者摊牌来进行反击。这种时候我们通常就称之为call someone's bluff.
FA姐建议:生活当中用这个习语就是跟人摊牌或者让人证明自己。
例如:
I don’t think Bob knows as much as he says. I think we should call his bluff。
I called his bluff when he threatened to quit the job.
8. do the trick – be successful, achieve a good result. Trick 是诡计、花招的意思,do the trick有一种一招制敌的感觉,一般用在描述某事达成的关键所在。
FA姐建议:如果你想表达某个方法很管用的时候,请暂时抛开useful这样的词汇,选择do the trick吧。也许它会在你获得口语7分之时do the trick!
例如:
The recipe needs a little help. I think salt may do the trick.
He tried many different ways to stop smoking. Acupuncture finally did the trick.
今天八个习语就解释到这儿,是不是有一种茅塞顿开的感觉呢?
