    第二、 對話精講
    1. 核心地道表達
    【核心短語】be green with envy
    【解詞釋義】envy是指“嫉妒,羨慕”。習語be green with envy與漢語中的“眼紅”相似,表示“十分嫉妒”“羨慕極了”。表示對......心中充滿了妒忌,在短語的后面用介詞at。
    【典型例句1】Alice's girlfriends were green with envy when they saw her new dress.
    愛麗絲的女友們看到她的新衣服很妒忌。
    【典型例句2】He was green with envy when he saw my new Jaguar car.
