不给句子没什么用。

不给句子没什么用。

先理解最重要.
我们接触习语最先是听到,而不是自己用到. 听懂了才会记住,下次自己用.
习语使用时一般简捷.不会象我们学习托福词组或短语,一定要用于长句.
比如, pain in the ass, take it easy,ring a bell? 就是一句话.

还有,Walking on air / on cloud nine / in seventh heaven : extremely happy because something great has happened
Bryan Adams一首歌叫 ..cloud no. nine, 一个非常有名的电视系列剧seventh heaven, 学了这些习语后我才明白是什么意思, 还有电影 云中漫步, a walk in the clouds,估计也是这个意思.

所以我觉得学习语对在北美生活非常有帮助,而明白意思是首要的.

多谢提醒,我Google了一下,发觉这个英语词汇居然真是来源于中国!


Lose face - Be humiliated; lose one's reputation.

Origin
'Lose face' began life in English as a translation of the Chinese phrase 'tiu lien'.
In 1876, the consular official Sir Robert Hart published a series of essays - These from Land of Sinim
'Save face' comes later. It has no direct equivalent in Chinese and is merely the converse of 'lose face'.
