看美劇和電影過程中,我們經常會遇到一些隻看得懂字面意思,卻無法理解的片語或句子。就像中文裡的“哇塞”、“不靠譜”等,這類的語言都是學校裡不會教的,因為他們不夠正式。以下就為大家介紹美國人最常用的10個英文俚語!

1.In The Nick Of Time
Meaning: At the last moment, just before something bad happens
意思:在最後一刻,來的正是時候。

例句:
1. The accident victim was near death, but the ambulance arrived in the nick of time and the paramedic saved her.
這個傷者已經奄奄一息了,但是救護車在最後一刻趕到了!護理人員把他從死亡邊緣拉了回來。

2.Take a Hike
Meaning:used for rudely telling someone to go away
意思是:哪兒涼快哪兒歇著去吧

例句:
1. please take a hike while I'm drawing, don't interrupt me!
我畫畫的時候請走開,不要打擾我!

3.Jack Of All Trades
Meaning:a person who knows a little about a lot of different subjects or activities, but not a lot about any one of them
意思:雜而不精的人,萬事通。

例句:
1. The position in the company required someone who knew everything about a very narrow subject. They weren’t looking for a jack of all trades.
公司裡的這個位置需要那種對一個學科有所專研的人,而不是一個雜而不精的人。

4.Break a Leg
Meaning:used for wishing sb. good luck
意思是:<非正式>祝你好運

例句:
1. I understand you have a job interview tomorrow. Break a leg!
我知道你明天上午有個面試,祝你好運!
