核心句型:
Why did you yell bloody 1 murder in the office?
你干嘛在办公室大吼大叫?
yell bloody murder字面意思是:“您看到血腥谋杀一样地叫嚷”,就像汉语中经常使用的那个比喻“杀猪一样的嚎叫”,是一个非常生动的习语,既包含了吵的架势,也包含了闹的色彩。这是个典型的美式口语,在英国则用scream blue murder表达同样的意思。因此,当美国人说"Why did you yell bloody murder in the office?"时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Why did you scream in the office?"、"Why did you shout in the office?"。
