   今天和小伙伴们分享,八个超级形象有趣的英文谚语,而且超级实用和高频,猜猜看它们是什么意思?


  blue in the face: weakened 1 or tired after trying many times
  想知道这张蓝脸是如何炼成的吗?其实,蓝色的脸是形容在一个人尝试一件事很久之后依然未果,非常灰心疲惫的样子。
  dead as a doornail: completely dead or unusable
  你见过“doornail”吗?也许你见过门板,门把手,却很少见到门钉。没错,它就是这么的低调。 像门钉一样的死无声息,就是指事物毫无价值,完全无用武之地,或毫无生气如同死去一般。
  Bob's your uncle: its as simple as that!!

  kick the bucket: to die
  踢水桶,这句话在英文中非常有名,我想很多英文学习者都听过这样的表达。最早来自一些上吊寻死的人,他们把水桶垫在脚下,把绳子套在脖子上以后,踢掉水桶。所有后来,踢掉水桶暗指,死掉的意思。
  heart in your mouth: extremely frightened or anxious
  把心放进嘴巴里,这是怎样的心境呢?其实,这和中文的把心提到嗓子眼倒是有异曲同工之妙。表示极度恐惧和不安的状态。
