英语里有一些句子每一个单词都认识连起来觉得也很好理解可你若按照自己的理解去回答对方往往就是牛头不对马嘴因为这些句子的实际意思根本就不是表面看来那么简单01Give me a break是什么意思?英文词典里对give me a break主要有两种解释:①“Used to tell someone to stop bothering you or treating you unfairly.即:用来告诉某人不要再打扰你或让他停止对你的不公。在这里Give me a break=饶了我吧;别烦我了例:Give me a break. It's not funny. 饶了我吧。一点都不好玩。②“Used to say that you do not believe or are disgusted about what someone has said or done. 即:用来表示你不相信或厌恶某人所说或所做的事。在这里Give me a break=别逗我了;得了吧(我不会相信的)例:Give me a break! I doubt she even graduated from high school!别逗我了,我怀疑她连高中都没毕业!02break a leg不是“打断腿”break a leg是一句常用俚语意思是“祝你好运,祝你演出成功”关于这个俚语的来源,有不同的说法:“①莎士比亚时期,有一个舞台传统:演出结束,若表演出色,一般会赢得观众的“小费”,演员会在谢幕时行“屈膝礼”表示感谢。“屈膝礼”这个动作像是断腿的样子,久而久之,break a leg就成了“预祝演出成功”的说法了。“②在剧场看完演出感到满意的观众,会长时间鼓掌喝彩,演员多次谢幕,向观众鞠躬,鞠躬是把一只脚放另一只脚后边并屈膝下去,是“折断”腿的线条。例:Don't worry. You are the best. Break a leg!别担心,你是最棒的!祝你好运!03break your neck不是“打断你的脖子”Break your neck=拼尽全力做某事例:You should always break your neck to study hard or you may regret someday.你应该尽全力好好学习,不然总有一天你会后悔.图片04break the bank是什么意思?break the bank=花费大笔的钱(太贵了)例:It costs $2000.
