   life 1 of the party  聚会中活跃气氛的中心人物


  life of the party用来说某一种人。什么样的人呢?我们听个例子来体会吧。这个小伙子要向我们介绍他妹妹 Jenny, 听了他的描述,你一定觉得Jenny是非常讨人喜欢的女孩儿,注意他话里用上了习惯用语life of the party:
  例句:People who give parties always invite 2 Jenny because they know she'll be the life of the party. She knows everybody 3 in town, helps guests 4 get to know each other, makes sure they get plenty 5 to eat and makes everybody feel very comfortable 6.
  他说:举办party的人 都会邀请Jenny。他还告诉我们Jenny在当地人头很熟,所以在聚会上能为客人相互引见介绍,而且她还会注意大伙都有足够的食物,让每个人都感到舒畅。
  可见他把Jenny称为life of the party意思就是在聚会中活跃气氛的中心人物。在这儿指的是女性,但是life of the party也可以用来说男子。这个习惯用语沿用至今至少有一百五十年了,但是因为它相当有用,所以经久不衰。
