每天讲解一个实用口语表达，帮你轻松学英语！常用的口语表达学透，才能真正提高英语口头交流的能力。今天要和大家分享的口语表达是：wolf down. wolf 在这里不是名词狼，而是作动词用，像狼一样大口的吃。It means to eat something very quickly and in large pieces. wolf down, 这个英语表达用了“狼”做比喻，刚好和我们中文里的“狼吞虎咽”所要表达的意思一样。 这种动物名词动词化+介词的这种形象化的英语表达，前面我们已经讲过好几个了：duck out, monkey around, chicken out 等。大家可以点击蓝色链接去复习一下。这些类似英语表达放在一块儿看，真的很有意思。 - I've had enough. Don't wolf your food down like this. You are not the only person in this restaurant. - 我受够了。不要这样狼吞虎咽地吃东西，餐厅里不是只有你一个人。 - Haters gonna hate. I'm starving. - 有些人就是看什么都不顺眼。我快饿死了。 It's crunch time. We have to work around the clock to get it over with, so we'll just wolf something down for lunch. 这是关键时期，我们必须日夜工作以完成任务，中午只能狼吞虎咽吃点东西。 下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句： He grabbed the hamburger and wolfed it down, and It seems he hasn't had a square meal for weeks. 他抓起汉堡狼吞虎咽吃起来，好像他几个星期没吃上一顿了。 She didn't like the way he wolfed down his food, so she left the table, quiet as a mouse. 她不喜欢他狼吞虎咽的样子，于是她悄悄的离开了饭桌。 Enjoy your food. Don't just wolf it down. It's a good habit to eat slowly. 慢慢吃，不要狼吞虎咽。细嚼慢咽是个好习惯。 每天记住记牢一个实用英语口语表达，每天进步一点点。 |
