上一次我們講了三個帶有bird這個詞的習慣用語。它們是: bird brain。 Bird brain指沒頭腦、愚蠢的人和early bird special。 Early bird special是給早來顧客的特價優惠。還有strictly for the birds。 Strictly for the birds意思是毫無價值的、荒唐可笑的、令人作嘔的。 Bird是個常用詞,由bird發展而成的習慣用語也不少。
李華幫Larry收拾東西,準備搬家。今天我們要學兩個常用語:the last straw和loose ends.LH: Larry, 你怎麼存了這麼多垃圾!我看乾脆都扔了,別搬走了。LL: Junk? Throw it away? These are all precious! How could I ever throw away my math book from third grade, or my Halloween costume from five years ago? I looked really great as Michael Jackson.
李華陪Larry一起去看房子。今天我們要學兩個常用語:tip your hand和poker face.LH: Larry, 這間公寓簡直太理想了。兩個臥室,一個大廚房,後面居然還有個小院子。我看就是它吧!LL: Yeah, I know. And best of all, the second bedroom will be a great place for me to keep my collection of Chia pets.
