习语怎么说?
Don’t hold your breath 所说的事可能不会发生,不要当真
例句
He said he would give us a raise this year, but don’t hold your breath. Don’t you remember he made the same promise two years ago?
他说今年会给我们加薪。你可别信以为真。两年前他也做过同样的保证,你还记得吗?
Dress down 穿着随便
例句
I look forward to Fridays because that’s when we can dress down. I just slip into my old jeans and my tee shirt. What a relief not to have a tie around your neck.
我很盼望过星期五,因为这一天我们可以随便着装,我就穿着我的旧牛仔裤和T恤衫,脖子上也不用围领带,好轻松啊!
为什么这么说?
The best thing since sliced bread
有史以来最好的东西
如果某件东西是新出或改进的,我们常说它是the best thing since sliced bread, 意思是有史以来最好的东西。在过去,面包烘烤店只卖成块的面包。如今美国超市出售袋装的切片面包,很多人认为这方便了很多,因为不用自己再去切面包了。
