美国习惯用语-第221讲:As light as a feather 我们已经讲过两个以feather这个字为主的习惯用语。我们今天再来给大家讲两个以feather这个字为主的习惯用语。第一个是：As light as a feather. Light 这个字有好几个解释，在这里是用做形容词。意思是：轻，也就是份量很轻的轻。Feather就是羽毛。羽毛的份量确实是很轻的。As light as a feather那末顾名思义就是：像羽毛那样轻。我们来举一个例子。这是一个人在说他当天所碰到的事。 例句1: While I was on my way to the law office at noon, the girl who was walking in front of me suddenly fainted because of the heat. Since she is as light as a feather, I had no problem in carrying her all the way to the hospital. 这个人说：今天中午在我去律师事务所的路上，那个走在我前面的女孩子由于天太热而突然晕倒了。因为她的身体非常轻，所以我一口气就把她背到了医院，一点也不感到累。 ****** As light as a feather可以形容各式各样的东西。拿食品来说吧，有的很油腻，有的很清淡。下面是一个人在说他妈妈做的蛋糕。 例句2: My mother is a very good baker, she is well known among our relatives and friends. Oh, you should have tasted the white chocolate cake she made last week. It\'s not that sweet and is as light as a feather. |
