This store sells everything from soup to nuts.
My office is supplied from soup to nuts.
但是如果指知识丰富的话,则不用这个词,而是通常用 from A to Z来表达,。
例如:
Mr. Greenspan knows economics from A to Z.
5. off-limits
意思是禁止入內;限制进出或不准使用,也就是关闭
例如:
The library will be off-limits to the public until re-carpeting project is completed.
The teachers have the use of a john that is off-limits to students.
6. real bomb
在口语里是指在公众场所或舞台上表演失败或表现欠佳。通常与 real用在一起。
例如:
The show was a real bomb, so I cut out early.
如果 bomb 作名词用,意思就是炸弹;作动词,则是轰炸,或失败、极坏的意思。
例如:
A U.S. fighter dropped a bomb over Iraq.
= A U.S. fighter bombed Iraq.
值得注意的是:real bomb有時也指真正的炸弹。
例如:
The police found a real bomb in the building.
