英语的俚语⼤全以及解释 俚语,拼⾳是lǐyǔ,是指民间⾮正式、较⼝语的语句,是百姓在⽇常⽣活中总结出来的通俗易懂顺⼝的具有地⽅⾊彩的词语。

下⾯是⼩编给⼤家带来的俚语⼤全,欢迎⼤家阅读参考,我们⼀起来看看吧! 英语的俚语⼤全以及解释 1、save for a rainy day 你是不是“⽉光族”?不管每个⽉拿多少钱,到了⽉底肯定是花光光。

看来,你还没有考虑过rainy day。

rainy day是下⾬天的意思,但很早以前,它就有了“困难、不幸”之意,所有save for a rainy day也就是“以备不时之需”的意思。

⽉光族们要好好⾃我反省⼀下哦,不能今朝有酒今朝醉啦。

Ads from the bank keep advising people to save some money for a rainy day. 银⾏的⼴告⼀直建议⼈们存钱以备不时之需。

2.when pig fly 很多形象的说法来⽐喻某事不可能实现,⽐如:⽩⽇做梦、太阳从西边出来、异想天开……⽽英语中也有⼀个形象搞笑的说法,就三个词:“when pig fly”(当猪可以飞的时候)。

猪,⼜肥⼜胖,没有翅膀,靠⾃⼰的⼒⽓是飞不起来的。

所以当猪可以飞的时候,那可真是猴年马⽉了。

这种说法源⾃苏格兰谚语,还曾经在《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中出现。

——Do u think ur brother will be successful?你觉得你弟弟会成功吗? ——When pig fly he will猴年马⽉吧。

3.guest star 客串 Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston will smooch on the season finale of "Dirt". In the episode, Aniston guest star as a lesbian magazine editor and rival to Cox’s character. 安妮斯顿将和好友考克斯在《丑闻》⼤结局时上演吻别镜头。

20条最常用的英语俚语

20条最常用的英语俚语

20条最常用的英语俚语20 Common English Idioms You Should Probably KnowThose of us who grew up with English as our first language have been exposed to idioms and idiomatic expressions for most of our lives. They may have confused us a little when we were children, but explanation and constant exposure not only increased our understanding of them, but likely drew them into our own vernacular. If you’re in the process of learning the English language, you may come across some of these and not be entirely sure what they mean. Here’s a list of 20 that you’re likely to come across fairly often:1. A Chip on Your ShoulderNo, this doesn’t mean that you’ve dropped part of your snack. To have a chip on o ne’s shoulder implies that the person is carrying around some grudge or bad feelings about something that happened in the past… like having walked through the wreckage of a building, and ended up with a chip of that building stuck to them for years afterward.2. Bite Off More Than You Can ChewLike taking a HUGE bite of a sandwich that will fill your mouth up so much that you can’t move your jaw, this idiom implies that you’ve taken on more than you can handle successfully. An example would be agreeing to build ten websites in a week when normally you can only handle five.3. You Can’t Take It With YouYou can’t take anything with you when you die, so don’t bother hoarding your stuff or not using it except for “special occasions”. Live now, because all your stuff is going to be around long after you’re gone.4. Everything But the Kitchen SinkThis implies that nearly everything has been packed/taken/removed. For instance, if someone said: “The thieves stole everything but the kitchen sink!” it meant that they took everything they could carry; it’s damned hard to remove a sink and carry it around.5. “Over My Dead Body”When the only way you’ll allow something to happen is if you’re no longer alive to stop it.6. Tie the KnotTo get married. This is left over from the old tradition of handfasting, wherein the hands of the bride and groom would be tied together with a length of ribbon to symbolize that their lives were fastened together permanently.7. Don’t Judge a Book By Its CoverThings aren’t always what the y appear to be at first glance, so it’s a good idea to give something a chance, even if its outward appearance isn’t immediately attractive.*The exception to this might be actual books that have hideous covers: those tend to be terrible all around, and in cases such as these, it’s best to contact the author or publisher and recommend a good graphic designer.8. When Pigs FlyThis means “never”. Pigs aren’t about to sprout wings and take flight anytime soon, so if someone says to their kid that they can get a forehead tattoo when pigs fly, it’s not gonna happen.9. A Leopard Can’t Change His SpotsBasically: you are who you are. Just like a leopard can’t concentrate really hard and change the pattern on its skin, peoplecan’t change who they really are at he art.10. Wear Your Heart on Your SleeveTo freely show and express all of your emotions, as though your heart were on the outside of your body.11. Bite Your Tongue!Stick your tongue between your teeth (gently), and then try to speak. You can’t say a word, can you? T o bite one’s tongue means to stay quiet: literally to hold the tongue still so it can’t make a sound. This goes along with:12. Put a Sock In ItThe idea behind this is that if you stuffed a sock in your mouth, you’d be quiet… so if you tell someone to “put a sock in it”, you’re telling them to shut up.13. Let Sleeping Dogs LieIf a couple of dogs had been fighting and are now sleeping peacefully, it’s best to just leave them alone. The idea behind this one is to avoid bringing up old arguments so they’ll just be argued about again.14. Foam at the MouthTo hiss and snarl in anger like a rabid dog (whose mouth would be foamy as he jumps around like crazy and tries to bite people).15. A Slap on the WristA very, very mild punishment. To be slapped on the wrist doesn’t hurt much, and isn’t adeterrent from misbehaving again.16. You Are What You EatThis is the idea that everything you eat influences your health and well-being. If you eat nothing but junk food, you’ll end up unhealthy and malnourished, so be sure to eat a well-balanceddiet.17. “It’s a Piece of Cake!”…meaning that it’s incredibly easy. No-one has a difficult time eating a piece of cake, do they?18. It Takes Two to TangoA person can’t dance the tango alone, nor can they fight by themselves either. If an argument has occurred, there were two people involved, so two were responsible.19. Head Over HeelsTo be incredibly excited and joyful, particularly with regard to being in love. Imagine someone so happy that they do cartwheels down the street: like that.20. An Arm and a LegWhen something is so ridiculously expensive that you might have to sell your own body parts in order to afford it, it’s said to cost “an arm and a leg”.。

十句简单实用的英语口语

十句简单实用的英语口语

十句简单实用的英语口语1. That's OK.不用了.大家相信吗?"That’s OK." 和"OK." 指的是完全不同的意思喔. 如果别人问你要不要先洗个澡啊?你答,"That’s OK." 就是不要的意思,答"OK." 却是要的意思. 像我刚来美国时因为不信邪,结果每次都耍宝。

记得有一次老美来我家作客,我问他,"Do you need something to drink?" 他说"That’s OK." 我想"OK." 就是好的意思啊,当然赶紧把茶水奉上,老美一脸莫名其妙的表情. 其实我这是错误的示范。

要记住,当别人说,"That’s OK." 就表示"I’m fine." 我很好,你不用操心的意思,言下之意就是你不用麻烦了,我会照顾我自己. 所以要记住,"That’s OK." 其实有没关系,无所谓的味道在里面。

所以如果你要明确的拒绝的话,可以这么说,"That’s OK. I don’t need anything to drink."来源:恒星英语学习网-口语频道2. Do we need to hit a shower first?我们需要先洗个澡吗?Hit 是一个老美很喜欢用,但老中很不会用的动词,hit 指的是去开始作某件事. 像是在囗语中老美喜欢讲,"Let’shit it." 的意思. 例如摇滚乐团的主唱常会看看吉他手,键盘手,贝斯手准备好了没,如果大家都准备好了的话,他就会大喊一声,"Let’s hit it." 这就代表"Let’s go." 的意思。

所以像是去洗澡,我相信大多数的人都会讲,take a shower. 但你如果学老美说,hit a shower,那种层次立刻就不一样. 类似的用法还有像是睡觉老美会说,hit the bed, 上路会说hit the road。

生活中最常用的英语俚语详解

1..at one’s wits end 智穷计尽 wit的意思是“颖悟⼒,智⼒,理解⼒”。

该习语的意思是“处在智⼒的末端”,意即“智穷计尽”了。

例如:I’m at my wit’s end with this problem. 我对这个问题真是束⼿⽆策。

A: I am at my wits’ end. 我已经智穷计尽了 B: What’s the matter? 怎么啦? A: If the bank won’t lend us the money, we’ll be stuck. 如果银⾏不肯给我们贷款,我们就⼨步难⾏了。

B: Don’t worry. You can ask Mary for help. 别着急。

你可以请玛丽帮帮忙。

2..at sixes and sevens 乱七⼋糟;意见不⼀ 该习语⼀般认为源于掷⾊⼦,原为赌博⾏话。

据说在中世纪时,⾊⼦⾯上的点数是7,如想求得13点,即⼀个⾊⼦6点,⼀个⾊⼦7点,这谈何容易,只有那些⼼烦意乱或处于思想混乱状态下的⼈才会下此赌注,⼀试赌赢。

该习语最初表⽰“漫不经⼼地下赌注”,后来转⽽表⽰“⼼烦意乱”,最后⼜引申出“乱七⼋糟”、“意见不⼀”等意思。

乔叟在爱情长诗《特罗勒斯和克丽西德》中使⽤过该习语。

A: You have loused up the whole business; it’s at sixes and sevens. 整个买卖让你弄得乱七⼋糟。

B: The dice is cast. It’s incurable. ⼀切都成了定局,没救了。

A: I feel so terrible. 糟透了。

B: Me too. We just went to a lot of trouble for nothing. 我也这么想,⼀切都⽩忙了。

3.back to square one 退回起点;从头再来 该习语源⾃掷⾊⼦游戏。
