美国习惯用语-第209讲:Wall-to-wall
<p>美国习惯用语-第209讲:<span word="Wall">Wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span></p><p>在这次节目里我们要给大家介绍两个都是以<span word="wall">wall</span>这个字为主的习惯用语。<span word="Wall">Wall</span>这个字是什么意思呢？<span word="Wall">Wall</span>就是一堵墙的墙。有不少习惯用语都跟<span word="wall">wall</span>这个字有关。但是，今天我们只能讲两个。我们在这次节目里要讲的第一个习惯用语是：<span word="Wall">Wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span>. <span word="Wall">Wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span>这三个字之间有两个<span word="hyphens">hyphens</span>, 也就是连接号。所以，<span word="wall">wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span>实际上已经成为一个字了。那么，<span word="wall">wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span>究竟是什么意思呢？</p><p>刚开始的时候，<span word="wall">wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span>是用来形容一个房间里的地毯从一边的墙铺到另一边的墙，也就是铺满了整个一间房间。但是，逐渐地，<span word="wall">wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span>这个说法就不仅仅用来描写地毯了，而是可以应用到其他生活各个方面。比如说,当一间屋子里挤满了人的时候，我们就可以说：<span word="Wall">Wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span> <span word="people">people</span>.</p><p>下面是一个人在说他参加一个聚会的情况。</p><p>例句-1: <span word="I">I</span> <span word="went">went</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="cocktail">cocktail</span> <span word="party">party</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="night">night</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="walked">walked</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="fifteen">fifteen</span> <span word="minutes">minutes</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="wall">wall</span>-<span word="to">to</span>-<span word="wall">wall</span> <span word="people">people</span> - <span word="so">so</span> <span word="crowded">crowded</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="couldn">couldn</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="even">even</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="close">close</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="where">where</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="were">were</span> <span word="serving">serving</span> <span word="food">food</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="drinks">drinks</span>.</p><p>这个人说：我昨晚去参加那个鸡尾酒会，但是我进去十五分钟后就走了。屋子里挤满了人，挤得我根本没有办法靠近放食品和饮料的地方。</p><p>******</p><p>每个人都有自己的爱好。有的人喜欢看书，有的人爱听音乐。但是，有的人有不同寻常的嗜好。例如，有的人热衷于搜集火柴盒，还有的人把每天看的报纸都存起来。下面这个例子里说的那个人就是对报纸有特别的感情。</p>
