美国习惯用语-第790:大摆筵席
<p>下礼拜我要在家大摆筵席，请十多个朋友来吃饭。我从来没给这么多人做过饭，心里有点犯嘀咕。要是换成我妈，肯定一点不怵。在她看来，给一大家子人做饭不过是小菜一碟。就像英语中说的：<span word="with">with</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="hand">hand</span> <span word="tied">tied</span> <span word="behind">behind</span> <span word="ones">ones</span> <span word="back">back</span>.</p><p><span word="With">With</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="hand">hand</span> <span word="tied">tied</span> <span word="behind">behind</span> <span word="ones">ones</span> <span word="back">back</span>, 意思是把一只手绑在背后，其实是指做某事非常熟练，轻而易举。类似我们中文里说的“我闭着眼睛都能做!”</p><p>准备十多个客人的晚饭，对我妈妈来说就是这么轻而易举的事， <span word="she">she</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="hand">hand</span> <span word="tied">tied</span> <span word="behind">behind</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="back">back</span>. 她闭着眼睛都能做! 生活中有各式各样的达人，拥有让我们羡慕的手艺，比如下面这段话中的电脑高手：</p><p>例句-1：<span word="When">When</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="computer">computer</span> <span word="crashed">crashed</span> <span word="again">again</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="almost">almost</span> <span word="resigned">resigned</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="buying">buying</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="one">one</span>. <span word="Luckily">Luckily</span>, <span word="my">my</span> <span word="friend">friend</span> <span word="Scotty">Scotty</span> <span word="came">came</span> <span word="over">over</span>. <span word="Within">Within</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="hour">hour</span>, <span word="he">he</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="PC">PC</span> <span word="running">running</span> <span word="again">again</span>, <span word="removed">removed</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="virus">virus</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="installed">installed</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="drive">drive</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="wasnt">wasnt</span> <span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="him">him</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="all">all</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="fact">fact</span>, <span word="he">he</span> <span word="says">says</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="fix">fix</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="computer">computer</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="hand">hand</span> <span word="tied">tied</span> <span word="behind">behind</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="back">back</span>.</p><p>这段话说：我的电脑又荡机了，这次我几乎放弃了，准备买台新的。幸运的是，我的朋友<span word="Scotty">Scotty</span>来到我家，不到一个小时，他就让我的电脑重新运转起来，还清除了一个病毒，安了个新硬盘。这些事情对他来说一点不难。事实上，他说他闭着眼睛都能修电脑。</p><p>我们可以把这样的电脑人才通称为<span word="computer">computer</span> <span word="geek">geek</span>. <span word="Geek">Geek</span>指特别喜欢钻研某种技术或技巧的人。比如，我有个朋友特别喜欢数学，他就是<span word="math">math</span> <span word="geek">geek</span>, 数学高手。那些让我看了如坠云雾的数学题，<span word="he">he</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="solve">solve</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="hand">hand</span> <span word="tied">tied</span> <span word="behind">behind</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="back">back</span>. 他轻而易举地就能做出来。</p>
