汉语中有许多习语都和身体部位有关，英语也不例外，下面一些例子供大家参考。 1. An eye for eye, a tooth for tooth.以眼还眼，以牙还牙。例如： A: Are you going to tell John’s supervisor what he did? B: Sure. He told my supervisor when I did the same thing. A: An eye for eye, a tooth for tooth. 此句源自《汉莫拉比法典》，指用对方做事的同样方法来报复。这与汉语中的说法十分相似，很好理解。 2. get cold feet 胆怯；例如： A: What happened to Jim? I thought he would go skydiving with us. B: He got cold feet. 有人会因为脚浸入海水觉得冷而放弃游泳，“get cold feet”由“脚变凉“而转到“胆怯”之意，十分形象。 3. I need that like I need a hole in my head.完全不需要。例如： A: I’m having a hard time deciding what car to get. B: Look at this one. Why not buy it? A: I need that like I need a hole in my head. 在头上除了眼，鼻，口之外，不需要别的“洞”了，因此就转为“完全不需要”的意思。此句生动有趣，在口语中运用一下很不错哦！ 4. It’s as plain as the nose on your face.很明白，很清楚。例如： A: Do you think Nancy is going to quit? She hasn’t said anything. |
