   bed大家都熟,是床。Bed这个词虽然短小,但是在日常生活中却很重要,因为人生的三分之一以上时间毕竟得在床上度过。Bed of roses,让我们想象一下,躺在用芳香柔软的玫瑰花瓣铺成的床上有多么心旷神怡。这简直是无上的享受。


  bed of roses,这三百多年来也确实被人们用来比喻称心如意的境遇,但是近年来bed of roses却更常和not或者no连用,成为否定形式。
  这样的话,这个习惯用语表达什么意思呢?我们来看个例子来领会吧。这段话在说他的姐姐Irene在外面忙了一整天的工作之后,回家还得照料两个调皮捣蛋的小儿子,可真把她弄得筋疲力尽。
  我们来看这段话,请特别注意他话里有no bed of roses:
  例句:My sister Irene works at a full time job and has two young sons to take care of when she gets home in the evening. Her husband Bob tries to help out, of course, but he just isn't too handy with kids. Believe me, her life these days is no bed of roses.
  他说:他的姐姐Irene有一份全天的工作,而晚上回家还得照料两个小儿子。她丈夫Bob当然也试着帮她分挑担子,但是Bob带孩子就是不太在行,所以他认为Irene眼下的日子过得可实在不舒坦。
  这里的no bed of roses显然用来描绘这种日以继夜、忙得焦头烂额的状况。
