<p> <span word="A">A</span> <span word="bundle">bundle</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="nerves">nerves</span> /<span word="nervous">nervous</span> <span word="Nellie">Nellie</span></p><p> 上次我们讲了几个跟<span word="nerve">nerve</span>有关的习惯用语：<span word="Get">Get</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="nerve">nerve</span> ，<span word="have">have</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="nerve">nerve</span> 和<span word="of">of</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="nerve">nerve</span> 。我们今天再学习两个<span word="nerve">nerve</span>短语。第一个是: <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bundle">bundle</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="nerves">nerves</span> 。</p><p> <span word="Bundle">Bundle</span>意思是一束或者一捆。<span word="A">A</span> <span word="bundle">bundle</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="nerves">nerves</span> 如果直译就是一束神经，这当然不是这个习惯用语的意思。这个习惯用语是用来说某一种人的。让我们看个例子来琢磨那是什么样的人。</p><p> 例句1：<span word="Ive">Ive</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bundle">bundle</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="nerves">nerves</span> <span word="since">since</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="company">company</span> <span word="told">told</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="losing">losing</span> <span word="money">money</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="lay">lay</span> <span word="off">off</span> 20 <span word="percent">percent</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="staff">staff</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="dont">dont</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="if">if</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="hang">hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="job">job</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="not">not</span>.</p><p> 自从公司告诉我们公司因亏损不得不裁员百分之二十之后，我就惶惶不可终日。我不知道自己还能不能保住工作。</p><p> 例句2：<span word="Im">Im</span> <span word="worried">worried</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="Sally">Sally</span> - <span word="shes">shes</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="real">real</span> <span word="bundle">bundle</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="nerves">nerves</span> <span word="these">these</span> <span word="days">days</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="dont">dont</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="why">why</span>: <span word="maybe">maybe</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="drinks">drinks</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="dozen">dozen</span> <span word="cups">cups</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="coffee">coffee</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="day">day</span>. <span word="That">That</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="nervous">nervous</span> <span word="too">too</span>.</p><p> 我很担心莎莉，她近来总是很神经质。我不懂她怎么会这样，可能是因为她每天喝十几杯咖啡吧。我要是喝太多咖啡也会变得神经兮兮的。</p><p> 刚才的例子里有<span word="nervous">nervous</span>这个词。它是从名词<span word="nerve">nerve</span>派生而来的形容词，意思当然是神经的，或者神经质的。我们接下来要学个由<span word="nervous">nervous</span>组成的习惯用语：<span word="nervous">nervous</span> <span word="Nellie">Nellie</span> 。</p>
