   1.in deep water(s)


  字面意思是“在很深的水域中”,实际含义是“在困境(为难)中”。据说最著名的马里亚纳海沟最深处达1万多米,别说掉到沟底了,即使淹没在几十米深处,就够让人呼吸困难了吧?生命都受到威胁了,算是大困难了吧?
  例句:The business was easy at first, but we are in deep water now.
  起初生意还挺容易,但现在我们陷入了困境。
  2.eat no fish
  字面意思是“不吃鱼”,转译为“忠诚”。据说这是有故事渊源的,英国历史上宗教斗争激烈,旧教规定在斋日教徒可以吃鱼。新教推翻旧教后,新教教徒拒绝吃鱼表示忠于新教。因此这个短语就被沿袭了下来。
  例句:Frank 1 is a man eating no fish, so we can believe in and depend on him.
  弗兰克是个诚实的人,我们可以信任并依赖他。
  3.I’m really in the dark on everything.
  我的确是一头雾水。
  注:汉语中一句比较通俗的说法就是“我还一抹黑呢,什么都不了解”,大家觉得是不是正是这个味道呢?
  4.it's up in the air.
  还没有决定。
  注:仍然是汉语中的解释:“悬在空中,悬而未决”,恰当吗?再次感叹,汉语实在是博大精深,啥词都能那么地恰如其分的表达,咱又怎能不爱她?咳咳,有点跑题了。
  5.I can't place his face。
  我不记得他是谁了。
  注:“place”有“放置”的意思,字面上来理解,就是不知道该把他的脸放在哪里,简单来说,就是脸和名字等已知信息对不上号了!
  6.beauty sleep
  这个短语最是形象了,“美美地睡一觉”、“甜睡”,毋庸置疑了吧?
  例句:I have to get home and get my beauty sleep. I am so tired, you know.
  我要回家睡个好觉了,我太累了。

1 frank
adj.坦白的,直率的,真诚的
  • A frank discussion can help to clear the air.坦率的谈论有助于消除隔阂。
  • She is frank and outgoing.她很爽朗。
