talk until ...blue in the face

字號:

talk until one is blue in the face.它的意思是“交談到臉色都變了”,暗含的意思是說某人談話談個不停,一直到非常疲憊,但卻沒有達到應有的效果。
    朋友們可能觀察到,當人們談話談得太多時,有時連呼吸都調(diào)整不過來,這時就有可能導致臉變色,所以當有人長時間的談論過后,人們就會用“blue in the face”來描述他。
    Example 例句:
    Sally talked with that boy until she was blue in the face, but the boy still did what he wanted.
    Sally與那個男孩談話談到臉色都變了,但這男孩仍然我行我素。
