sort of music is quite to my taste.
這種音樂很符合我的口味。

漢語“合口味”與英語的to one's taste幾乎形似意合。此語一般作表語

如:Try this song. It's beautiful. This sort of music is quite to my taste.
聽聽看這首歌。很好聽。這種音樂很符合我的口味。

's for the birds.
他特別無聊。

“無聊”可以用短語be for the birds來表達。此語常用作表語,意指“毫無意義”以及“荒唐可笑”和“無聊”。

如:I can't understand why you should like to talk with 's for the birds.
我不明白你怎麼願意跟傑克說話還。他特別無聊。

handwriting is plain one for the books.
他的字寫得漂亮極了。

漢語中“棒極了”、“漂亮極了”以及“糟糕透了”、“醜極了”之類表示“到了極點”的語氣均可用短語one for the books來表達。其字面意思是“可以寫進書裏面去”,相當於漢語口語中“創紀錄了”的含義。

如:Yeah, but he wrote me a letter. His handwriting is plain one for the books.
但是他寫了封信給我,他的字寫得漂亮極了。

ing to it.
容易極了!

Nothing to it一般用於回答“你幹得了嗎?”、“你行嗎?”等問題。

如:Nothing to it, of course.
當然,容易極了。

ing doing!
那可不行!

在拒絕別人的提議的時候我們常會說“那可不行”,在英語中近似的說法就是Nothing doing!


如:Going out in office hour? Nothing doing!
上班時間外出?那可不行!

6.I won't put anything past him.
我饒不了他。

值得注意的是,當表示“饒了某人”的時候,一般應該用let somebody go的形式,而不能用put something past somebody。


如:I'm just checking. If he has really done, I won't put anything past him.
我正在查。如果他真這麼做了,我饒不了他。

is really a pill, spending whole day harping and complaining.
她真煩人,整天嘮嘮叨叨的。

pill本意是指“藥丸”,在此喻指“討厭的傢伙”,因此也就有了“煩人”之義。

如:I can't stand Jane anymore!She is really a pill, spending whole day harping and complaining.
我受不了珍了!她真煩人,整天嘮嘮叨叨的。



8.I know you were only playing possum.
我知道你只是在裝傻。

此語中的possum是“負鼠”,據說這種動物在遇到危險時會裝死,play possum 就是“像負鼠那樣裝死”,與漢語的“裝傻”可謂形合意切。

如:I know you were only playing possum. After all, it's unwise to anger the moniter. You've done right.
我知道你只是在裝傻。不管怎麼說,得罪班長也很不明智。你做的對。

9.I don't enjoy seeing you twiddling your thumbs.
我不想看你閒得無聊。

細心的人會發現,人閒着沒事幹的時候往往會坐在一旁玩弄自己的大拇指,這個習語就是表達了這個意思。


如:What did you do all this morning? I don't enjoy seeing you twiddling your thumbs.
你今天一早上都幹嘛了!我不想看你閒得無聊。

10. But none of you dare to face the music.
但是你們誰都不敢承擔後果。

此語中的music意指“法律制裁”或“懲處”,face是“面對”,因此此語的字面意思是“面對法律制裁”,也就相當於“承擔後果”。


如:

A:But it was not us who made you hold the bag.
但是不是我們讓你背黑鍋的啊。

B:But none of you dare to face the music.
但是你們誰都不敢承擔後果啊。
