   春节快要到了,我们的学生党朋友们一定都考完期末考试了吧。


  今天,我们就来学习一个与考试有关的表达方式——pass with flying colors。
  【情景再现】
  比如在考试成绩出来后,你问你的朋友:“Hey, how was 1 the exam 2? (嘿,这次考试考得怎么样?)”
  你的朋友可能会说:“I passed that exam with flying colors!”
  【短语拆解】
  Pass with flying colors,从字面意思上理解就是,带着飞舞的色彩通过考试。飞舞的颜色和考试放在一起,那么,这个短语的意思到底是说,考试轻松通过值得我们眉飞色舞呢,还是因为考试太难了而眼冒金星呢?
  【短语来源】
  其实,这个短语出自于古代的海军。在几百年前呢,没有先进的通讯技术,一艘军船进港时会用旗帜来传达战胜还是战败的信息。如果是战胜凯旋归来,则是旗帜高高飘扬;若是战败归来,则会把旗帜降下。我们在这个短语中所说的“flying colors”,其实就是用一种比较口语化的方式来说“飘扬的旗帜”。这下大家应该猜到了吧,pass with flying colors其实就是以优异的成绩轻松通过考试的意思。
  【举一反三】
  下次,当你的朋友问起一门你比较擅长的科目,”Hey, what do you think of the exam? (你觉得这次考试考得怎么样?)” 你就可以告诉他:“I think I will pass this exam with flying colors!(我觉得我一定会轻松通过的。)”如果你的朋友对你说,期末快到了,科目好多好难,你就可以鼓励他说:”Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll pass the exams 3 with flying colors! (不要担心,你一定会以优异的成绩通过考试的!)”

v.(is,am的过去式)是,在
  • He said he was right.他说他是正确的。
