【专栏简介】每天分享一个有趣好玩的口语表达~You're chicken不是“你是鸡”,外教说的是这个意思!别想歪了! 今天班长跟大家聊一聊:鸡。 不知道大家有没有养过鸡?反正班长在乡下是养过一只的。鸡的胆子是非常小的,你只要突然靠近它,如果你是陌生人,它就会马上跑开,还会发出鸡叫声。鸡起床也起得很早,每天早上都会打鸣,生活非常有规律。 I don't know if you've ever had a chicken? Anyway, monitor raised a chicken in the countryside. The chicken is very timid, as long as you suddenly close to it, if you are a stranger, it will immediately run away with cluck(the low, short sounds that a chicken makes ). The chickens get up very early and crow every morning. They live a very regular life. 鸡的英文是chicken,大家都知道吧。今天学习一下三种鸡,小鸡是chick,而公鸡是rooster,母鸡是hen。 chicken其实有三个词性,名词,形容词,动词。 ① 名词就是“鸡”或“鸡肉”的意思。fried chicken 炸鸡。roast chicken烤鸡。 ② chicken作动词时,表示“ to decide not to do sth because you are afraid 因害怕而放弃;临阵退缩;胆怯”,词组是chicken out (of sth/ of doing sth). 比如:I chickened out since I'm afraid to be fired by the company. 我害怕被公司解雇,所以临阵退缩了。 ③ chicken还可以作形容词,就是今天我们要讲的这个词组了。非常有意思,大家记得做下笔记哈。 今日表达:You're chicken. chicken这里是作形容词,英文释义是:not brave; afraid to do sth= cowardly(adj. 怯懦的,懦弱的;胆小的) 英文释义: You're a coward. coward: n. 懦夫,懦弱的人=a cowardly person 中文解释:你是一个胆小鬼。/ 你胆小如鼠。 You're chicken. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a mouse. 你的翻译:_____________________。(底部留言) “ spring chicken ”是什么意思?(单选) 例句: I am no spring chicken now.
