高中英语语法-英语习语“秀”

　　 Come on, Jack, youre twenty years olddont be such a cry baby about everything. We all have our problems, but you ought to do something about them instead of just complaining. 行啦,杰克,你已经二十岁了,别有一点儿事就哭。我们大家都会碰到一些问题的。但是,你得想办法来解决问题,而不能老是抱怨。

　　许多人都怕去看牙医。但是,美国牙医一般都用麻药。为了保护牙齿,医生经常安排病人每年清洗牙齿两次。下面是一个爸爸在说他的儿子:

　　 Bill, dont be such a cry baby about going to the dentist: all hes going to do is clean your teeth. Look at your little sistershes not making a fuss about it. 比尔,别为了去看牙就哭哭啼啼的。他只是替你洗洗牙而已。看看你的小妹妹,她就没有这样大惊小怪的。

　　 57. all washed up

　　 wash就是洗,但是,all washed up的意思是彻底完蛋,和干净不干净毫无关系。下面这位女士在和她妹妹说另一个她们都认识的朋友:

　　 Did you hear that Glorias marriage is all washed up? She packed up, took the kids and moved out. Now shes suing for divorce. 你听说了没有,格洛里亚的婚姻是彻底完蛋了。她收拾起自己的东西,带着孩子搬出去了。现在,她向法院提出要离婚呢!
