英国人爱狗,狗是英国最受欢迎的动物。但事实上,狗的晚餐却并不吸引人,a dog’s dinner (狗的晚餐)这样的表达本身的含义确实是负面的。
例如:
‘Where are you off to then, all dressed up like a dog’s dinner?’
你之后要去哪里,穿得这么招摇?
3. A cold fish 冷漠的人
Dictionary definition: a + adjective + fish: a person who is strange in a specified way.Although in theory any adjective can be put before fish, cold is by far the most common one.
字典定义:a+形容词+fish:某人在某方面较为特别。尽管在理论上其他形容词同样可以放在fish前,但cold是目前最为常用的词。
If you’re a cold fish, you’re unemotional, and perhaps even unfriendly. To sound even more British, add a bit of:
如果你被叫做“cold fish”,你是有较少感情波动的、甚至是不友好的。为了听起来更英式化,也会在之前添加“a bit of”
例如:
‘I tried talking to Rachel at the party, but she’s a bit of a cold fish.’
在派对上我试图和瑞秋说话,但她有些冷漠。
‘What did you think of him?’ – ‘Bit of a cold fish, wasn’t he?’
“你认为他怎么样?”“有一些冷漠,不是吗?”
