   have got a lot of nerve


  我们再来学个习惯用语: have got a lot of nerve。在这个习惯用语里,nerve不再解释为“神经”或者“勇气”,而是“鲁莽”。
  例句1:You've really got a lot of nerve telling me I spend too much money! Remember, you are the one who goes up to New York every month and brings back a thousand dollars worth of stuff.
  你也好意思说我花钱太多?你每个月都得去一次纽约,而且每次总要买一千多美元的东西!
  这儿have got a lot of nerve是用来指责对方厚脸皮,或者太鲁莽的说法,这个习惯用语通常是争论中用的。还有一个习惯用语和这个说法意思一样,而且也常用在争吵的时候。它是: of all the nerve。Of all the nerve和have got a lot of nerve都可以用来说对方太莽撞甚至厚颜无耻。
  例句2:Of all the nerve! How dare you criticize me for being late in the morning. You're the one who sneak 1 out half an hour early - at least I work a full eight hours every day!
  真是大言不惭!你还说我早上迟到?你自己每天提前半小时就回家了,至少我每天都待够八小时。
  美国人还喜欢用chutzpah这个词来代替nerve指责别人蛮横或者厚颜无耻,看看下面的例子:
  例句3:The man murdered his father and mother, but at his trial he had the chutzpah to tell the judge that he shouldn't be sent to prison because his parents were dead and he was an orphan 2.
  这人谋害了他的父母,但是在审判中他竟然恬不知耻地对法官说,他不该坐牢,因为他父母双亡,是个孤儿。

vt.潜行(隐藏,填石缝);偷偷摸摸做;n.潜行;adj.暗中进行
  • He raised his spear and sneak forward.他提起长矛悄悄地前进。
  • I saw him sneak away from us.我看见他悄悄地从我们身边走开。
n.孤儿;adj.无父母的
  • He brought up the orphan and passed onto him his knowledge of medicine.他把一个孤儿养大,并且把自己的医术传给了他。
  • The orphan had been reared in a convent by some good sisters.这个孤儿在一所修道院里被几个好心的修女带大。
