B:It was so simple a child could have passed it.
很简单,连小孩都可以通过。
A: Really? I had heard that it was hard.
真的?我听说很难考呢。
B:No, it was a snap.
不,那是件轻而易举的事。
所以,我们可以称这次考试简直是小菜一蝶,也就是This driving test is a piece of cake.
下面这个对话,能让我们对a piece of cake的用法有更全面的认识:
A:Jerry, are you taking economics this term?
杰瑞,你这学期修经济学吗?
B:Yes, I have Dr. Jones as my instructor.
是的,琼斯博士是我的指导老师。
A:How are his exams?
他的考试怎样?
B: Theyre a piece of cake.
都很简单。
看出来了吗?虽然考试exams是复数,但a piece of cake是固定表达,是不变的。
此外,做什么事很容易也可以说doing sth. is a piece of cake.看看下面两个喜欢吃中国才的老外的对话,大家就明白了:
A: Do you know how to use chopsticks?
你会用筷子吗?
B:Its a piece of cake.
那是很简单的事。
