节后第一天上班，和外教聊到今天的天气。说了句“今天天气，感觉很舒服”“Under the weather is comfortable!”外教很疑惑，还问我要不要去医院？我内心一愣，后来才知 Under the weather 和今天的天气没有半点关系….. NO.1 Under the weather ≠ 在什么天气状况之下 解析： Under the weather ×在什么天气状况之下 √身体不舒服 起源↓↓↓ 这个习语源自航海生活，当天气不佳、海象不稳定的时候，晕船的船员会到甲板下休息。因此 Under the weather 便用来形容人“不舒服”或“酒醉后的不适”。 例句： She has been under the weather for some days. 她已经身体不适好几天了。 场景对话: Betty：Did you talk to Hank about your proposal last night? —贝蒂：你昨晚跟汉克谈了你的提案了么？ Bill：I did, but I don't think our conversation was very productive. —比尔：谈了，不过我不认为谈了很有用。 Betty：What do you mean? 贝蒂：什么意思？ Bill：I talked to him and then realized he was pretty under the weather. —比尔：我和他说了提案之后，才发现他的身体很不舒服。 Betty：I see. You'd better make an appointment again. —贝蒂：原来如此，你最好再和他约个时间。 NO.2 Under the influence ≠ 在什么影响之下 解析： Under the influence ×在什么影响之下 √喝醉了酒 例句： He committed the crime under the influence of drink. 他在醉酒状态中犯了罪。 NO.3 Under the Rose ≠ 在玫瑰花底下 解析： Under the Rose ×在玫瑰花底下 √秘密地、私下得 例句： The details were given to him under the rose. 这些细节是私下告诉他的。 The senator told me, under the rose, that there is to be a change in the cabinet. 参议员偷偷地告诉我说，内阁将要改组。 |
