topsy-truvy
乱七八糟的

欧美人习惯于称居住空间拥挤混乱的状况为“topsy-turvy”。他们认为生活的爽快舒适是第一要义。父母们考虑到孩子的教育环境,认为给他们个人空间的最直接办法就是给他们一个单独的房间。当然,这就会付出一定的代价。孩子的房间总会是乱七八糟的,所以父母们总是会说,“Everything 1 is topsy-turvy in your room.”你看看你的房间,什么都是乱七八糟的。


[扩展]:
表示“乱七八糟”还可以用别的词,比如untidy, 顾名思义,就是不整洁。不过这个单词用得太频繁,没有新意。那么你就可以试试今天教的短语,既形象生动,又显得责备的口气不是那么重。


像这样形象的词还是很多的,举一个和生活相关的例子:
He is always 2 glued 3 to the TV.
这里的glue动词化,表示粘在电视机上了,也就是大人们常常抱怨的:
“这孩子整天守着电视。”



pron.每件事,每件东西
  • I hope everything is going well with you.我希望你事事如意。
  • He does well in everything.他样样做得好。
adv.总是,无例外地;永远,始终
  • The nurse is always full of thought for her patients.这名护士对病人总是关心备至。
  • You are always welcome here.在这儿你永远受欢迎。
v.用胶水将物体粘合( glue的过去式和过去分词 )
  • I can't get the cover off this box; it's been glued on. 箱盖粘在箱子上了,我拆不下来。 来自《简明英汉词典》
  • She stood glued to the radio,heedless of the ordered bustle about her. 她站在那里一动不动地听收音机,毫不注意周围有秩序的忙碌。 来自《简明英汉词典》
