  服饰不仅能代表一个人的品味,还能透露你的内心。英文里有一些和服饰有关的习语,它们要表达的意思可没有字面上那么简单。
  1. Below the belt
  这个短语源于拳击,这项运动中规定不可以击打腰带以下的部位,后来大家就用“腰带以下”来形容不公正。
  例:That was distinctly 1 below the belt!
  这明显太不公平了!
  2. Go cap in hand
  脱帽放在手上可以看出一个人毕恭毕敬的姿态,尤其是有求于人,而且特别是在要钱的时候。
  例:There’s no way he’ll go cap in hand to his brother.
  让他跟自己兄弟卑躬屈膝地要钱绝不可能。
  3. As tough as old boots
  说人像旧靴子一样硬,其实是要表示他身体很强健,或者指这个人意志很坚强,不怕任何困难。
  例:She’s almost 90 but she’s still as tough as old boots.
  她快90了但是身子骨还很硬朗。
  4. Take off the gloves
  很多正式场合戴着手套是斯文有礼貌的表现,要摘下来的话可能就预示要对人不客气了。
  例:The candidates have taken off the gloves and started to make personal attacks against each other.
  候选人们已经撸胳膊挽袖子,开始互相攻击了。
  5. Get your knickers in a twist
  这个短语并不是要你把裤子拧在一起,而是指因为小事儿而不高兴。
  例:Don't get your knickers in a twist: I'll be ready in a minute!
  别因为这点儿事儿就生气,我马上就好!

ad.清楚地;显然
  • We were distinctly underwhelmed by the director's speech. 主任的讲话显然令我们感觉索然无味。
  • He was beginning to feel distinctly uneasy about their visit. 他对他们的造访明显地感到不安起来。
