  迷你对话:

A: I always feel I’m left high and dry with nobody to rely 1 on.

A: 我经常感觉到自己孤独无助,没有人可以信赖。

B: Don’t be fool. I’ll always side with you.

B: 别傻了,我会永远支持你。

A: I appreciate your kindness.

A: 谢谢你的好意。

地道表达:

high and dry

解词释义:

high和dry词义分别为“高的”和“干燥的”。该习语直接翻译是“该东西高高挂起,就容易边干”,其寓意就像“曲高和寡”一样,可以引申为“孤独无助”。通常它和leave连用,而且多用于被动语态中。

支持范例:

When the factory closed down, the workers were left high and dry.

工厂倒闭后,工人们的生活没有着落。

He left her high and dry in a strange country without any money.

他把她遗弃在异国他乡, 身无分文, 处于困境.

When you go away, I'll be left high and dry.

你一走,就剩下我孤单单的一个人了。

There I was, high and dry in a strange city with only five dollars in my pocket.

我被抛弃在一个陌生的城市里,口袋里只有5元美元。

这个残酷的人把所有的钱财都拿走了,撇下他自己的外祖母一人无依无靠。
