★英語口語頻道為網(wǎng)友整理的《高考英語口語提高訓(xùn)練:堅持到底學(xué)習(xí)語》,供大家參考學(xué)習(xí)。
情景1:
-What are you going to major in?你打算選什么專業(yè)?
-My parents want me to study accounting, but I’ll stick to my guns and major in English.我父母想讓我學(xué)會計,可我會堅持己見,選英文專業(yè)。
[習(xí)語點津]
stick to one’s guns
gun有“大炮”的意思,這一習(xí)語原本表示不管敵人的炮火有多猛烈,炮兵都應(yīng)堅守崗位予以反擊。現(xiàn)在它引申為“堅持自己的立場或觀點”。
例:I’ll stick to my guns on this matter.在這件事上我會堅持自己的立場。
情景2:
-Why didn’t you help me when the boss scolded me?我被老板罵的時候,你怎么不幫幫我?
-Why should I stick my neck out for you? What have you ever done for me?我為什么要為你冒險?你又為我做過什么?
[習(xí)語點津]
stick one’s neck out
敢在危急關(guān)頭“把脖子伸出來”無疑是冒著被砍頭的風(fēng)險。這一習(xí)語就表示“冒險做別人不敢做的事,說別人不敢說的話”。
例:John is always sticking his neck out by saying something he shouldn’t.約翰總是冒險說出自己不該說的話。
情景3:
-Is your sister unhappy?你妹妹是不是不開心?
-Of course she’s unhappy--it sticks out a mile.她當(dāng)然是不開心了,這明擺著呢。
[習(xí)語點津]
stick out a mile
stick out有“突出”之意。某物“突出了一英里”,那肯定很顯眼。該習(xí)語就意為“顯而易見”。
例:He’s not telling the truth--it sticks out a mile.很明顯,他在撒謊。
情景4:
-You’re not going out in that!你不許穿成這樣出去!
-Why do you always have to stick your nose in?你干嘛老是要干涉我?
-How dare you talk to me like that! I’m your father!你竟敢這樣跟我說話!我是你爸爸!
[習(xí)語點津]
stick one’s nose in 表示“干涉別人的私事;多管閑事”,與poke one’s nose in 同義。
例:I wish he’d stop poking his nose in my personal life!我希望他不要再干涉我的私生活了!
情景5:
-Lisa said you brought your girlfriend to the party yesterday.麗薩說你昨天帶女朋友參加派對了。
-She must have got the wrong end of the stick. That girl is my cousin.她一定是誤會了,那個女孩是我表妹。
[習(xí)語點津]
get the wrong end of the stick意為“錯誤地理解某事或某人的意思”。
例:You’ve got the wrong end of the stick. He doesn’t owe me money; I owe him!你弄錯了,不是他欠我錢,是我欠他的。
