英语短语小结2

1.在招聘会上我们可以看到各种各样的简历,有的简单到就一张纸,而有的甚是奢华。但是有一点是共同的,这就是,在简历上大家会竭尽全力的展示自己的优势和才华。 陈超老师讲了他的一个小故事;

一次他和几个外国朋友开车出门,遇到堵车。正在等车的过程中,大家谈到了跳槽的问题,这时就涉及到简历的书写,at this time , one of his foreign friends said to him:" blow your own horn." 当,陈超老师听到这句话时下意识地按了一下喇叭。可按完喇叭才意识到前面的牌子上几个醒目的大字:禁止鸣笛!于是就埋怨起他的朋友。(but ,this friend explaind: )但他的朋友解释到,这个句子的意思是在简历上尽力去吹嘘,去夸耀自己吧。而不是让他按喇叭。

So we should remember this phrases: blow one's own horn.吹嘘,夸耀

2. at the same time 同时,然而

我们接触这个短语的意思多是于此同时的意思,而忽略然而的含义。看下面的例子。 It'll cost a lot of time, at the same time (但是,然而), I think we shall need it and it'll certainly be useful.

3. 在建筑工地上,Tom(a foreign friend)接到一个电话后匆忙把资料交给了Mr. Chen, 并随口问到:“ Can you dig it?”陈听到后以为问他会不会挖坑,于是说:“Yes.”十几分钟后Tom回来后看到陈正拿着铁锨挖坑呢!于是笑了起来,他解释到:dig在这里的意思是理解。所以这个句子的意思是,你能看懂那些资料吗?

很多这样的短语让刚刚接触到它的人搓手不及,所以大家还是多看书,多记忆吧。 Can you dig it? 你理解吗?

4. the cat is out of the bag.猫从袋子里跑了出来。它的含义是:

The secret is given away. 泄露秘密。

5. Saved by the bell.

this idiom means rescue from a situation at the last possible moment. In 17th century England, a guard at Windsors Castle was said to have fallen asleep at his post. He said that was wrong and could prove it. He heard the church bell strike thirteen times at midnight. The town's people supported his words and he was not put into prison. Today we think of the bell that ends around in a boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class periods, saving you from more work. This idiom means rescue from a situation at the last possible moment.

6. A close shave

In the past, student barbers(理发师) learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their customers might be cut or even barely escape serious injury. Today, we use the idiom if a person narrowly escapes danger.

7. ――Do you want to give up studying English?你要放弃学英语啊?

――Nothing of that sort. 哪有这么回事啊!

8. Every dog has its day. 人人皆有得意之日。

9. rain cats and dogs. 下倾盆大雨

以前人们的房子上铺的是一层层的稻草,所以时常有猫和狗跑到上面休息。下雨的时候,有时雨势非常大就把房子上休息的猫和狗狗还有稻草一起冲了下来。

1. 在中国如果一个人特别能吃会被称做饭桶,特能喝会被称做水缸,特别的勤劳会被比做老黄牛,等等.

在其他国家对此也有生动的比喻,比如:

Somebody drinks like a fish.(某人象鱼一样能喝)

Somebody eats like a horse.(某人象马一样能吃)

2. 人的一生不可能一帆风顺,总会遇到大大小小的挫折,其实也正是经历的这些事情才促进了我们的成长.当你听到你的朋友和你抱怨:

I t is not my day!(今天太糟糕了)

你应该告诉他或她: Our life is colourful and interesting!

3.熟人见面的问候语多为:Hello or How are you doing?

现在比较流行的问候语是:

What is new? or Something new?

回答为: It is Ok or Nothing much!

4. 我们学过的会面,见面有appointment and date 但两者有所区别.

Appointment 多为正式的会面.

Date 多为约会,男女朋友之间的约会.

如果你去和你的上司或客户见面,那么记住千万不要用date啊,否则别人的嘴巴会张大到脱腮的程度的.

5. Roll在我们刚接触到的时候只知道它的意思是滚动,其实英语中每个单词都有丰富的意义.

如果你们一家人去旅游,那么在准备好一切的时候,你完全可以这样说:

Ok, let's roll.它的意思自然不是滚,而是让我们出发吧.

6. 在一场激烈的球赛过后,你们球队取得了胜利,这时你可能会听到队友抑制不住内心的兴奋,这样说:

Give me five!

不要紧张,不是让你伸出五个手指,而是: 拍手祝贺的意思.

所以它的意思是: 让我们欢呼,庆祝吧.

7. 在一所世界知名的大学里的一个角落,有这样一个牌子:

Drag free zone!

初来榨到的外国留学生看后不免会有这样的疑问: 难道这是个毒品免费供应区? 我们都知道drag的意思是药品,毒品

free的意思是免费的

zone 的意思是区域

所以产生这样的疑问很正常,但深究其义,按正常的逻辑思维可以马上断定这样的理解是错误的.它的正确意思是:

禁止毒品!

在这个短语中free 的意思是禁止,它还有,无,没有的意思.

如:sugar free无糖(饮料)

8. 在遇到事情需要作出抉择的时候,我们往往把决定权交给领导者.

It is up to you ! 你决定吧!

它有时候也表示你应该做的事情不要推给别人

What happened to your memory? It is up to you !

你忘记了吗? 这是你要做的(言外之意不是别人的事)

9. How come-------- ***怎么可能???

How come we never thought of that?

当初我们怎么没想到呢?

10. 我们学过打电话的日常用语:

Can I talk to Mary?

Yes, speaking(= Yes, this is my speaking!)

不要被省略语迷惑.

11. 有一天小明给中介公司打电话,寻求租赁房屋的信息,当他得到一个满意的信息后,马上给房主打去了电话,但接电话的人说了这样一句话:

He has gone!

小明的第一反应就是房主去世了,因为我们一般用sb has gone表示某人的与世长辞,虽说小明也有些疑惑,但最终还是没有再打电话询问,一直到他的同学租赁了那间房子,他才知道,真的是自己理解错误了.

sb has gone 的意思还有他或她不在家,外出了。

12. 学习英语的人多数喜欢给自己起个英文名字.但是有的名字需要引起注意,比如 Jack .

在大街上你可不要张口大喊: Hi, Jack!

这样会给自己带来麻烦的哦!因为 Hi, Jack 的发音与Hijack的发音相同,而后者的意思是打劫,你想想如果你在大街上突然冒出这么一句身边的人会有怎样的反映呢?!!
