人们常常会评价一个人地穿着，关于穿着的词组有很多，但是你可知道在英语中还有一些关于穿着的俚语呢? 人们穿着短裤以遮掩身体下部。我们有时形容紧张不安的人说“裤裆里有蚂蚁(ants in their pants)。例如： I have ants in my pants for the coming exam on Tuesday. 想到周二就要考试，我真是坐立不安。 有的时候你在做某件事的时候没有明确的指导，也缺乏足够的知识，只能靠直觉，这时就可以说fly by the seat of one's pants，例如： When Jones started up business in the town, he didn't know anybody, so he had to fly by the seat of his pants. 当琼斯在这个镇子开始做生意时，他一个人都不认识，所以只好全靠自己摸索。 有时，人们可能会被caught with their pants down，按字面解释就是一个人在裤子掉下来的时候被人抓到，那样的情景，该是多么的尴尬啊。作为习语，它的意思就是“当一个人正在做坏事、做可耻的事情的时候被人发现了。例如： A famous singer was caught with his pants down when he was having sex with a prostitute in the back of his car last night. 昨天晚上，一个著名歌手跟妓女在汽车后座发生性关系时被人当场抓住。 |
