  炎炎夏日,出门一定要记得戴顶帽子防晒~ 英语中也有很多“帽子”短语,快来一起看看吧。


  to throw your hat into the ring 欣然迎战,接受挑战
  以前在拳击比赛中,如果一方想挑战另一方,就把自己的帽子扔进拳击台里,这里的ring 指“拳击台”。现在这个成语的意思是说某人欣然迎战,接受挑战。
  You know they’re looking for volunteers for a mission 1 to Mars 2. I think I’m going to throw my hat into the ring.
  你知道他们在寻找火星任务志愿者。我想去挑战一下。
  old hat 陈腐过时的
  如果什么东西因年久而被视为陈腐过时了的时候,那么就可以用这个比喻性短语“老帽子”来形容。
  DVDs are so old hat. I only buy movies online now and download them directly 3.
  光碟早就过时了,我现在只在线购买电影看,可以直接下载。
  I'll eat my hat 绝不可能
  I'll eat my hat 我会吃了我的帽子,这个表达的实际意思是说一件事情绝对不可能发生。
  If Arsenal 4 win the Champions League, I'll eat my hat!
  阿森纳队绝不可能会赢得冠军联赛!
  as mad as a hatter 疯狂地,大发雷霆
  mad as a hatter的起源和古英格兰制帽子的工匠有关。在制作毡帽的过程中,狸皮和兔皮需要用含汞的硝酸盐进行处理从而便于加工。制帽工匠呼吸过程中不可避免的吸入水银并导致水银中毒,从而使神经系统受到伤害,伴随口齿不清,蹒跚的步履,肌肉不断抽搐等症状。神经错乱也表现为这些症状,所以mad as a hatter就有了描述某人"疯狂"的用法。
  He has become as mad as a hatter.
  他变得古怪起来了。
  at the drop of a hat 脾气一触即发
  这个说法可能是来自以前的决斗。在决斗的时候,裁判员一般都是举着帽子,然后突然把它往地下一扔,作为决斗双方可以开始开枪的信号。但是,at the drop of a hat现在已经和开枪没有关系了,它的意思已经变成指一个脾气一触即发的人。
  Tom Atkins is usually a good-hearted friendly guy. But he has one problem -- a hot temper 5. Say something he doesn't agree with, and he'll start a loud argument at the drop of a hat.
  汤姆 阿特金斯平时总是很好心,也很友好。但是,他有一个问题,那就是脾气太急燥。谁要是说一些和他意见不同的话,他可以马上大声嚷嚷,跟人家争辩。
  hat in hand 毕恭毕敬地,恳求地
  在当前,hat in hand的含义很简单:在逼不得已的情况下去求人帮忙,然而又感到难以开口、很难堪。
  With our new baby and my wife sick, my paycheck just isn't enough for my family to live on. With business so bad, I hate to do it, but I have to go to my boss hat in hand and beg for more money.
  我们的孩子刚出生,我妻子又在生病,我的工资根本不够我们开销的。我实在没办法,不得不去求我的老板帮忙,请他再给我一点钱。现在生意很不景气,我真是不愿意这么做。
  to wear two hats at a time 身兼两职
  They're so short handed at my cousin Joe's office that he has to wear two hats. 我表兄乔伊的公司人手很少,他不得不同时担任两个职务。
  to pass the hat 募捐
  以前,美国教堂在礼拜结束前总是用一顶帽子在教徒当中一个个地传递过去,希望人们为教堂捐钱。现在的教堂已经不再用帽子了,而是用一个铜制或银制的盘子来代替了。但是,to pass the hat却超越了宗教的色彩,应用到日常生活中去了,意思就是让大家捐钱为一个同事解决意外的灾难。
  When Bill Brown's baby daughter was hurt in that auto 6 accident last week, we passed the hat around the office and collected three hundred dollars to help pay the doctor's bill.
  当比尔 布朗的小女儿上星期在车祸中受伤以后,我们在办公室里募捐了三百多美元,来帮助比尔付医疗费。
  to take one's hat off 致敬、钦佩
  以前,每当一个人做了什么值得赞扬的事,人们往往会拿下头上戴的帽子,对那个人表示敬意。现在这种举动不存在了。可是,这个俗语还是经常用的,表示致敬、钦佩。
  I sure take my hat off to my boss. I don't know how in the world he did it, but somehow he pulled some tricks out of the hat and got us five million dollars to save the business.
  我真是要对我的老板致敬。不知道他是怎么想出来的办法,但是他真是出人意外地弄到了五百万美元,从而挽救了我们的公司。
  My hat! 表示惊奇,意为:啊! 嗳唷!
  My hat! — Isn’t that Mr Smith?
  啊! 那不是史密斯先生吗?
  My hat!还可以表示不相信,意为:你得了吧! 你胡说! 我不信!
  A:I suppose you think you never snore 7.
  你大概以为你从来就不打呼噜吧。
  B:I know I don’t.
  我知道我不打呼噜。
  A:My hat!
  你得了吧。
