在生活當(dāng)中，肯定有坑爹同學(xué)或者是豬般隊(duì)友。有時(shí)候他們笨得，真的用“豬”來(lái)形容他們，豬也會(huì)意見(jiàn)。因此，很多人就是直接用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)別人 dumb，stupid，但這樣太直接了，友誼的小船很容易反的。今天，給大家說(shuō)說(shuō)“stupid”以外，形容笨的說(shuō)法。
1. use your loaf —— 動(dòng)動(dòng)腦子
你跟別人說(shuō)這個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)，就是說(shuō)用有點(diǎn)生氣的口吻讓別人做事多動(dòng)動(dòng)腦子。
e.g. I Going to be a useful boy, so long as you use your loaf .
只要運(yùn)用你的頭腦，就會(huì)成為有用的年輕人。
e.g. You haven’t even switched the thing on. Come on, Jamie, use your loaf!
你連開(kāi)關(guān)都沒(méi)看。天哪，杰米，長(zhǎng)點(diǎn)腦子吧！
2.The lights are on but nobody’s home .
light意指燈，on意指亮著的，開(kāi)著的，nobody意指沒(méi)有人，home意指在家；the lights are on but nobody’s home系指家里燈亮著但沒(méi)有在家，喻指心不在焉，身在曹營(yíng)心在漢。
e.g. She really has no clue- the lights are on but nobody’s home!
她完全抓不著頭緒——腦子笨的像頭豬。
e.g. Because the lights are on but nobody’s home, she cannot understand what the teacher is saying.
因?yàn)樗牟辉谘?，所以根本不懂老師在說(shuō)什么。
3. all thumbs 笨手笨腳
Thumbs: 大拇指。如果一個(gè)人十根手指都是大拇指，那連握東西都握不住怎么干活。
e.g. Dick isn't very good using tools around the house. He's all thumbs: when he hammers a nail he's likely to end up hitting his finger instead. And you'd be shocked to hear the bad language he uses when that happens!
Dick在家里用工具干活是不太行的。他總是笨手笨腳，當(dāng)他要敲一個(gè)釘子的時(shí)候，他往往會(huì)敲到他自己的手指上。把自己敲痛了，他就破口大罵，你聽(tīng)了真會(huì)嚇一跳。
e.g. He’s all thumbs when it comes to his girlfriend. He just can’t do anything right!
他一遇到他女朋友，就笨手笨腳的，什么事都做不好。
4. not the brightest bulb in the box / on the tree / in the chandelier. 他/她可算不上*聰明的
字面意思就是：并不是盒子里/圣誕樹(shù)上/吊燈里*亮的燈泡。其實(shí)內(nèi)在意思是很婉轉(zhuǎn)地在說(shuō)你笨。
e.g. He's not the brightest bulb, is he?
他還真不怎么聰明，是吧？
5.bean brain 沒(méi)腦筋
腦子小得像顆豆那樣，到底能用不能用？答案：沒(méi)什么用。
e.g. I can't imagine Bill is such a bean brain. He brought the camera and forgot the film.
無(wú)法想象比爾這么沒(méi)腦筋。他帶了相機(jī)，卻忘了帶底片。
e.g. I have never seen a bigger bean brain like you.
我從沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)比你更蠢的蠢才。
