[摘要]在日常生活的英語口語對話中,有很多關(guān)于我們身體部位的地道俚語大家都知道是什么意思嗎?今天小編為大家介紹超級實(shí)用的與身體部位有關(guān)的地道俚語,也歡迎大家補(bǔ)充哦! 今天我們來學(xué)習(xí)8個超級實(shí)用的與身體有關(guān)俚語。 Are you “all ears”? Then let’s take a look at these 8 body idioms in English. It’s been over a month since I last posted anything on idioms and I was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms! Did you have the same feeling? So to prevent any anxiety issues on this bright, sunny Friday morning, I have real pleasure in sharing this colourful infographic on 8 body idioms creatively prepared by Kaplan International. You can find this infographic on the Kaplan website. The English language has many idioms connected to the body, for example, to cost an arm and a leg; on the tip of the tongue; to stick one’s neck out and so on. I plan to dedicate a future post on these idioms. In the meantime, let’s take a look at how the above idioms are used in a sentence. 1. All Ears – this is used when you’re ready and waiting for someone to explain something to you. 洗耳恭聽;全神貫注地聽 “Ok, Jack. Tell us about how the meeting went. We’re all ears.” 2. The Cold Shoulder – used when you ignore someone or don’t pay them any attention 不理不睬;愛理不理 “I don’t know what I’ve done. Ever since I got back from the party, Gillian has given me the cold shoulder“ 3. Itchy feet – someone who has itchy feet has a strong impulse to travel or to do something different 漫游的渴望;旅行的渴望 It’s always the same with Angela. After three years with a company she gets itchy feet and has to move on. 4. The long arm of the law – the far-reaching powers of the authorities 法律的權(quán)威和力量;法網(wǎng)恢恢 “Tony was eventually caught. He couldn’t escape the long arm of the law.” 5. Old Hand – someone who has done a job or activity for a long time and who does it very well 老手;熟練工人;有經(jīng)驗(yàn)者 James is an old hand in making air fix models. He has been doing it since he was seven years old. 6. Sweet Tooth – someone who loves to eat sweet things 愛吃甜食的人 I simply cannot resist desserts. I have always had a sweet tooth. 7. Elbow Room – Enough space to move or work in. 能施展的地方或空間 “I have absolutely NO elbow room in this kitchen!” 8. Eye-catching – attracts attention 引人注目的;耀眼的;顯著的 Jessica looks particularly eye-catching in that dress”. The key to understanding idioms and, more importantly, using them correctly is to see them in context. And the only way learners can do this is to read and listen to English as much as possible. You will not always use the idiom in the correct context but over time and with practice it will get easier. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes.
