   1.a buyer’s market买方市场


  market在这里是“行情”的意思。买方市场是有利于购买者的行情。与之相对的是a seller’s market(卖方市场)。
  A: Have you bought the house?你已买房子了吗?
  B: I don’t know how to choose it. There are a lot of apartments on sale.我不知道该怎么办,那么多房子,眼都挑花了。
  A: It is a buyer’s market, you know.现在是买方市场嘛!
  2.a country mile一段很长的距离
  该习语多用在美国口语中,名词country有“农场”的意思。在美国,由于科技比较发达,农场往往都很大。这些农场总能给人以辽阔、遥远之感。故该习语用country来指“距离之远”。
  A: Is the house close to the central city?那房子*着市中心吗?
  B: It is a country mile from the Central Park. But it won’t be a problem since you drive.离中央公园远着呢。可既然你开车这就不成问题了。
  A: The distance is not really a problem. The real problem is whether I can afford it.远近到不是问题,问题是我是不是买得起。
  B: Don’t worry about it. It’s a real bargain.不用担心,很便宜的。
  3.a drug on the market滞销商品,滞销货,供应过剩的商品
  drug的本义是“麻醉药品”,而麻醉药品是不能在市场上公开出售的,因此该词常常用来指“滞销货”。
  A: The things my son bought home were usually a drug on the market for adults.我儿子买回来的东西在咱们眼里都是卖不出去的。
  B: That’s not abnormal 1 for a youngster 2. Young people all seems to be crazy about such things.这对年轻来说没什么不正常的。年轻人看起来对这些东西都非常感兴趣。
  A: The real problem is that he’s suing 3 my money for them.问题是他那我的钱去买的呀。
  B: He’s your son, after all. Who else’s money do you suppose him to use?他毕竟是你的儿子呀。你想让他拿谁的钱去买呢
  4.a fair shake公平的待遇
  shake在口语中有“处置、对待”的意思。当fair的意思为“公平的”时,这个短语的意思是“顺利的、有意的”时,它的意思就是“好机会”。
  A: Bob, can you ever make a thing right?鲍勃,你就不能做对一件事吗?
  B: Yes, I can and I am doing the right thing.我能,而且我现在干的就是对的。
  A: You should go and see how Allan handles it.你真该去看看阿伦是怎么干活的。
  B: It’s that Allen again! Why can’t you ever think of giving me a fair shake?又是阿伦!你怎么就不能对我公平点?
  5.a fat chance微小的机会
  fat本是“很多”的意思,但在这里用了反意,表示“微小的机会”;表示同样意义的短语还有a fat lot,指“很少”。
  A: What do you think of his plan?你觉得他的方案如何?
  B: I have a feeling that is it doomed 4 to fail.我感觉它注定要失败。
  A: Why don’t you vote against him?干吗不投票否决他的提议?
  B: It’s a fat chance of voting out his suggestion.这不大可能。
