时间：2019-01-01 作者：英语课 分类：英语博客-北美风情
Nobody wants to stick out like a sore thumb, but sometimes it happens. In this episode 1, we look at expressions that describe people and things that are different from the rest, often in a negative way. We also focus on to be out of place and to be the odd 2 one out. Listen to our examples of when people might feel strange and uncomfortable for being different and learn how to put these expressions to use!
Maura: So, to stick out like a sore thumb means that a person is different from everybody else and so they have a lot of attention on them and, like we said, it’s not positive attention.
Harp 3: So maybe they’re wearing different clothes than everyone else or maybe someone speaks a language that not everyone else there speaks.
Maura: Yeah. There are so many different ways that you can feel different from a group of people. It could be because everyone has a certain kind of job and you don’t, or everyone knows each other but you don’t know the people very well.
Harp: Or everyone has the same style and you have a completely different style of clothing.
Maura: Yeah. So, it could be physical, by looking at someone, but it also could be something different from the inside, maybe.
