 海量、千杯不醉


朋友阿P的“海量”尽人皆知。想把他灌醉?没门!人家“千杯不醉”从未在人前趔趄过。借助阿P的“海量”,咱们看看老外如何形容阿P的“腿”—— a hollow leg。 英语中,俚语“a hollow leg”常用来形容某人“酒量大、喝不倒”。单看其字面意——“一条中空的腿”,“a hollow leg”的喻意不言自明:这人整个儿一“贮酒器”,无论倒进多少酒都无大碍,因为下半身是中空的。 如果哪天您想用英语介绍阿P的“海量”,很容易:
Do you want to drink Mr. P under the table? Well…youwould never do. He's got a hollow leg, you know.(你想把阿P灌醉?不可能,他可是海量。) 顺便提一下,上句的“drink sb./oneself under the table”指的是“把某人灌醉/喝的酩酊大醉”,有时也可写作“put sb./oneself under the table”。
