<p>美国习惯用语-第245讲:<span word="to">to</span> <span word="blow">blow</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="horn">horn</span></p><p>在今天我们要讲的习惯用语里，一个关键的字就是<span word="To">To</span> <span word="blow">blow</span>. <span word="Blow">Blow</span>这个字是一个非常勤劳的字，因为许多习惯用语当中都有这个字。你要想再找一个像<span word="blow">blow</span>用得那么多的字恐怕还不容易。在以前的“美国习惯用语”节目中，我们也曾经讲过几个。</p><p>今天我们再给大家介绍两个和<span word="blow">blow</span>有关的习惯用语，第一个是：<span word="To">To</span> <span word="blow">blow</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="horn">horn</span>. <span word="To">To</span> <span word="blow">blow</span>有好几个解释，但是在这个习惯用语当中应当解释为：吹。<span word="Horn">Horn</span>就是喇叭。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="blow">blow</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="horn">horn</span>的字面意思是：吹自己的喇叭。但是，作为一个俗语，它的意思是：夸耀自己，或者是自吹自擂。喜欢夸耀自己的人一般都有这种吹牛的习惯。下面是一个学生在讲一个爱吹嘘的人。</p><p>例句1: <span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="Joe">Joe</span> <span word="Jones">Jones</span> <span word="next">next</span> <span word="door">door</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="dorm">dorm</span>? <span word="Nobody">Nobody</span> <span word="likes">likes</span> <span word="him">him</span> - <span word="he">he</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="always">always</span> <span word="blowing">blowing</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="horn">horn</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="athlete">athlete</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="girls">girls</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="chase">chase</span> <span word="him">him</span>.</p><p>这个学生说：你知道我宿舍里住在我隔壁的那个乔.琼斯吗？因为他老是喜欢吹嘘自己，所以没有一个人喜欢他。他总是夸耀自己是一个多么好的运动员，那些年轻姑娘又如何一个个地苦苦追求他。</p><p>******</p><p>我们再来举一个例子。这是一个人在说别人给他妹妹介绍的男朋友。</p><p>例句2: <span word="My">My</span> <span word="cousin">cousin</span> <span word="introduced">introduced</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="sister">sister</span> <span word="Lisa">Lisa</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="Frank">Frank</span>, <span word="a">a</span> <span word="famous">famous</span> <span word="Harvard">Harvard</span> <span word="economics">economics</span> <span word="professor">professor</span>. <span word="He">He</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="interested">interested</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="Lisa">Lisa</span> <span word="says">says</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="can">can</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="stand">stand</span> <span word="him">him</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="does">does</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="blow">blow</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="horn">horn</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="latest">latest</span> <span word="book">book</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="economics">economics</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="popular">popular</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="among">among</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="students">students</span>.</p>
