  与数字有关的英语习语
  有一种中式傲娇叫做知道老外数学不好~ 但你偏偏没想到,人家歪果仁可是在英文习语里安插了不少数字呢!来来来,快看下面这些带着数的习语,你到底要不要加减乘除才能知道它的意思?
  1. Put two and two together
  看到这个短语,想掰开手指做个加法的举手! 它的意思是根据已知的情况作出合理的推断。
  例:You weren't home so I put two and two together and went back to your office to find you.
  你不在家,我就约摸着去单位找你了。
  2. Have two left feet
  谁会有两只左脚?歪果仁是不是数错啦?答案很简单:并没有。人家这是在形容“笨手笨脚”。
  例:My wife 1 is a good dancer 2, but I've got 3 two left feet.
  我太太舞跳得很好,可是我却笨手笨脚。
  3. At sixes and sevens
  这又是六又是七的短语到底想说几?想想中文里的类似成语 “乱七八糟”你就能猜到它的意思了。
  例:The change left everyone at sixes and sevens.

  4. Ten to one
  十对一,压倒性优势很明显。这个短语是“十之八九、非常有可能”的意思。
  例:Ten to one he'll be late.
  他十有八九得迟到。
  5. Talk nineteen to the dozen 4
  说起话就停不下来,喋喋不休,可以用这个短语表示。
