英语口语：原来英文“吓坏了”还能这样说…
英语课
毛骨悚然、惊恐万分，吓到不行了，英文还能用什么样的表达来形容?这种怕怕的感受看来也是无国界呢~1. Send shivers down sb's spine 1
Shiver意指“颤抖”、“战栗”，能让人脊柱发颤，也说明事情相当可怕。
例：The thought of what might have happened to us sent shivers down my spine.
一想到将要发生在我们身上的事儿，我就不寒而栗。
2. Chill sb to the marrow 2/bone
这个表达和上面有异曲同工之妙，恐惧有时如同一阵寒气入骨，让人毛骨悚然。
例：This is a film that will chill you to the marrow.
这是部令人毛骨悚然的影片。
3. Make sb's blood curdle 3
同样是形容这种怕怕的感觉，这个短语换了个角度，说吓到血都凝固了。
例：The ghost story made my blood curdle.
那个鬼故事真让我不寒而栗。
4. Jump out of sb's skin
把人都吓到要跳出自己的皮肤了，也是吓得人魂飞魄散。
例：Oh! You really scared me. I nearly jumped out of my skin.
哦!你真吓着我了，我的小心脏都快吓出来了。
5. Be scared stiff
Stiff表示“僵硬”、“呆板”，这个短语译成中文可以是“被吓呆”。
例：I was scared stiff when the dog started barking at me.
那条狗冲我叫，把我吓傻了。
