Try using all of the fun body idioms when you write a short of your own about you or your friend.
Below is an example.
As with all idioms you won't find any of these meanings in a dictionary, but these are the real meanings of common spoken English idioms. We hope you can use more idioms to help you speak more fluent English.
在進(jìn)行描述你自己或朋友的寫作時(shí)，不妨試著使用一些有趣的身體習(xí)慣用語。
以下是一則例子。
雖然在字典里你可能找不到這些身體習(xí)慣用語的解釋，但是在日常的英語會(huì)話里，這些卻很常見。我們希望借助這些身體習(xí)慣用語，你可以說更流利的英語。
Example story (故事舉例):
Molly the babe has a green thumb but two left feet. Long ago she lived in the city, but she felt there was not enough elbow room, so she moved to the countryside. There she met Jack who caught her eye. However, Jack was often up to his neck in work so he had no time to buy gifts for Molly. Jack also liked to get a five finger discount at the store, he hated spending money. Molly, on the other hand was heads above the rest when came to being honest. She had a big mouth and told every one that Jack liked to get a five finger discount. Molly soon got Jack to go back and pay for the stolen merchandise. The manager who put his nose into their business, named Gordon, said, "two thumbs up, I am heads over heels in love with you and your honesty." So it was that Molly said goodbye to Jack and hello to Gordon.
漂亮女孩莫莉有一手不錯(cuò)的園藝，但在跳舞上卻不太精通。很久以前她住在市區(qū)，但是現(xiàn)在她卻覺得住市區(qū)很擠，所以搬到了郊區(qū)的鄉(xiāng)下住。在那里她邂逅了杰克并對(duì)他一見鐘情。可是杰克的工作很忙，不能總是給莫莉買禮物。杰克還喜歡到商店偷東西而不愿花自己的錢。另一方面，在談到誠實(shí)度上，莫莉可一絲不茍，她不能保守秘密，告訴每個(gè)人杰克有偷竊的習(xí)慣。莫莉很快就讓杰克到商店把他所偷竊的物品歸還商店，介入這件事的商店經(jīng)理叫Gardon, 他說：“太好了，我很喜歡你也喜歡你的誠實(shí)。”因此莫莉跟杰克分手，跟Gardon 好了。
Now you try a short story using your friends as the characters!

Dialogue（對(duì)話）
Gordon: I give my new girlfriend two thumbs up. Are you jealous?
Molly: You wish, in your dreams. I give my new hunk four thumbs up.
Gordon: You can't give four thumbs up, you only have two thumbs!
Molly: I have two thumbs on my feet! Ha!
Gordon: Those are called big toes, not foot thumbs. Some times your are silly.(250)
Molly: Not as silly as some English idioms. For example, head over heels in love. What does that mean anyway?
Gordon: It means you are so much in love you fall down and can't control yourself. Are you head over heels in love with your new boyfriend?
Molly: It is a secret. If I told you, he would say I have a big mouth.
Gordon: Can you at least tell me if he has two left feet?
Molly: He does not have two left feet, in fact he dances like the Latin hunk, Ricky Martin.
Gordon: Where is he from, Mars?
Molly: No, jealous boy, he is from the countryside where there is a lot of elbow room. Not like us in the big city, we have no elbowroom.
Gordon: You can say that again. There are too many people here. Every time I try to get a five-finger discount at the store, someone sees me.
Molly: You are a bad boy.
Gordon: Don't beautiful girls all like bad boys?
Molly: Of course, but we don't tell anyone about it.
Gordon: Ha, you told me the secret, you do have a big mouth.
Molly: You are going to have a big face, after I beat you!
戈登：我豎雙指贊揚(yáng)我的女朋友了，你嫉妒嗎？
莫莉：你希望我嫉妒啊？做夢(mèng)去吧，你。我豎四指贊揚(yáng)我新的明星男友。
戈登：你可以翹起四個(gè)大拇指表示夸贊，但是你只有兩個(gè)大拇指。
莫莉：我腳上還有兩個(gè)大拇指！哈哈哈……
戈登：那叫大腳趾頭，不叫腳拇指！有時(shí)候你顯得很傻（250）。
莫莉：不象一些英語的習(xí)慣用語那么傻。
比如說，head over heels in love。不管怎么說，那是什么意思？
戈登：意思是你太愛了什么了以致于摔倒不能控制自己了。
你是那么瘋狂地愛你的新男友嗎？
莫莉：這是秘密。如果我告訴你，
他就會(huì)說我有個(gè)大嘴巴。
戈登：你至少可以告訴我他是不是長了兩只左腳吧？
莫莉：他沒有長兩只左腳，實(shí)際上他跳起舞來棒得象那個(gè)拉丁明星瑞奇·瑪丁一樣。
戈登：他從哪兒來，火星嗎？
莫莉：不 ，嫉妒的小伙子，他來自空間廣闊的鄉(xiāng)下，不象我們一樣生活在大城市里，到處都擠滿了人。
戈登：你說得沒錯(cuò)，這兒的人太多了，每次我想在商店里偷點(diǎn)什么的
時(shí)候總有人看見我。
莫莉：你是個(gè)壞孩子。
戈登：不是人們都說漂亮女孩喜歡壞男孩嗎？
莫莉：當(dāng)然，但是我們不對(duì)所有人都這么說的。
戈登：哈，你告訴了我這個(gè)秘密，你有張大嘴巴。
莫莉：在我給你一巴掌后你就會(huì)有一張大臉了。
Gordon: How's it going?
Molly: Great. I am on a natural high.
