 1 not for all the tea in China 没门儿 （即使某人把所有的中国茶给你，都不干） Would you like to be a teacher? ----Not for all the tea in China! Being a teacher's too much hard work and too aggravating. 无论如何我都不当老师，当老师太累，压力太大。 2 never the twain [tweɪn]shall meet 东方就是东方，西方就是西方，两者永不会相会 (twain 古英语，表示two) e.g. The differences are considerable actually！You know what they say: never the twain shall meet! 二者差别很大，就像有句话说得好:东方就是东方，西方就是西方，两者永不会相会! 3 wear the trousers 掌权，当家 In the future, more women might wear the trousers in their families！ 在以后，更多的女性会掌权当家。 4 jack of all trades 万事通，杂而不精的人 In the past, people were more Jack of all trades. For example, they may have been good at carpentry, plumbing, farming, you name it. Now people tend to be boxed into one thing. 我认为过去的人多数属于杂而不精的，像是会木工手艺活儿，或者装水管，耕作等技能。现在人们喜欢做好一件事。 |
