   今天要讲的习惯用语显然表示人们对身边那些虫子的恶感。比方说,今天要学的习惯用语:fly in the ointment 1。 fly是苍蝇,ointment是油膏或者药膏。可想而知小小的苍蝇掉进了一缸油膏里,可不是把好好的油膏全糟蹋了吗?由此可以推想fly in the ointment这个习惯用语必定指虽小却搅了全局的东西或事情。


  我们听听在下面的例子里什么是fly in the ointment,或者说什么是一次海滨之游中败兴的事儿。
  例句:It was a real gorgeous day to go to the beach, sunny, breezy and the temperature was about 78. But the fly in the ointment was that Mike and I both cut our feet on some sharp coral.
  他说:那天真是去海滨的好时光:阳光明媚、微风拂人,而气温大约七十八度。 但是叫人败兴的是Mike和我的脚都被尖锐的珊瑚刮破了。
  这段话里的the fly in the ointment显然指他俩被珊瑚刮破脚那回事儿。换句话说就是令人扫兴的美中不足的事情。

n.药膏,油膏,软膏
  • Your foot will feel better after the application of this ointment.敷用这药膏后,你的脚会感到舒服些。
  • This herbal ointment will help to close up your wound quickly.这种中草药膏会帮助你的伤口很快愈合。
