英语身体习语

To take something at face valueMeaning: Accept by appearance instead of going deeper into something.意思 ：只看表面就相信，不深入探究。Example:When I was younger and you went for a job interview, the employer hired you at face value.(He trusted you by your appearance and the way you spoke and presented yourself)Nowadays you have to go through psychology tests for some jobs and produce endless qualifications before you are even accepted for an interview.例句 ：我年轻的时候，你去参加面试，雇主会只凭表面印象 就录用你。（他会根据你的外表、谈吐和表现来信任你）而如今，有些工作你必须先通过心理测试，出示一大堆资质证明，才有可能获得面试机会。To be written all over your faceMeaning: This means that it is very clear by your expression that you have done something. Usually it refers to guilt.意思 ：全都写在脸上；神情明显表露出来（通常指愧疚）。Example:It was definitely John who stole the money. Even though he denied it, it was written all over his face.例句 ：钱肯定是约翰偷的。尽管他否认，但一切都写在他脸上 了。It’s no skin off my noseMeaning: This means that you are unaffected by a situation - it makes no difference to you.意思 ：跟我没关系；对我毫无影响；我无所谓。Example:Person A: “Sorry you didn’t get that job you went for”.Person B: “It’s no skin off my nose. I didn’t want it anyway.”例句 ：A：“很遗憾你没得到那份申请的工作。”B：“我一点都不在乎 ，反正我也不想要。”To be a pain in the neckMeaning: No, it is not what you think it is. This doesn’t mean that your neck hurts. We use this idiom to describe a very annoying person.意思 ：不是你想的那样，不是脖子疼。这个习语用来形容非常惹人烦的人 。Example:She’s a real pain in the neck. She’s always borrowing my things and she never gives me them back. I’m going to have to stop lending her my things.例句 ：她真是个讨厌鬼 。老是借我的东西，还从来不还。我不能再借给她了。To be on the tip of (one’s) tongueMeaning: We use this expression when we are about to say something but as the words are about to come out our mouths, we can’t remember them. We become frustrated in that moment because we knew what we were going to say but in one second it disappears from our memory. We try desperately to remember.意思 ：话到嘴边却说不出来；差点想起来，却一时记不起。Examples:What’s the name of that new shop round the corner? I know the name - I’ve been there three times this week. Just a second, it’s on the tip of my tongue.例句 ：街角那家新店叫什么来着？我知道名字 —— 这周都去了三回了。等一下，话到嘴边了 。Oh gosh!!!!! I don’t remember what this is called in English. I have always known. Give me a second or two and I’ll remember. It’s on the tip of my tongue.例句 ：天啊！我忘了这个用英语怎么说了。我明明一直都知道的。等我一下，我肯定能想起来，就在嘴边了 。To bite (one’s) tongueMeaning: This doesn’t mean that you are going to hurt yourself by biting your tongue with your teeth. It means that you refrain from saying what you really want to say, probably because it could cause some trouble.意思 ：不是真的用牙咬舌头，而是忍住不说、把话咽回去 ，通常因为说出来会惹麻烦。Example:I always have to bite my tongue when my mother in law tells me in continuation that I’m not suitable for her son.例句 ：每当婆婆不停地说我配不上她儿子时，我都只能忍住不反驳 。
