举一些例子供大家参考。
1. Head Start
如果这两个字开头的字母是大写,则连在一起是一个专有名词,指的是美国政府为贫穷或弱智的儿童设立的一种训练机构,帮助他们,希望他们在进小学之前能赶上教学进度。也就是:U.S. government tries to give extra - help for those underprivileged children before entering first grade.
例如:
Many poor parents send their children to Head Start.
但是如果head start的字母是小写,那么就是普通名词了,是指比別人早着手,或领先、有利,即:advance start or advantage
例如:
To know more colloquial expressions is a head start in learning English.
2. blue blood

例如:
Some people do not want to admit that they have blue blood.

例如:Life is not always a bed of roses.
4. from soup to nuts
