今天,我们学习一个7分雅思口语习语表达。常常听到老外时不时就蹦出一些单词又懂但就是不知道啥意思的句子呢? 比如‘I have butterflies in my stomach’ 我的胃中有蝴蝶? 老外咋这么幽默呢,幽默到我都未能get到他的重点了==;
好了,咱们来分析一下这个表达到底是要说明什么的。
have butterflies in my stomach 同时也可以说get butterflies in my/your stomach 他表达意思是get a nervous feeling in your stomach before doing sth, 也就是说,当你在做一件事情之前你心理很忐忑,都还没上场演出或者展现自己,你的内心戏就已经演了好几遍了。这种情况,你就可以说I’ve got butterflies in my stomach.
又如: I always get butterflies (in my stomach) before an interview. 面试前,我总是心理直打鼓。
好了咱们来看一道雅思口语题目,如何讲这个表达运用起来。
-Are you good at organizing time? (你擅长时间管理吗?)
-Well, I’m really poor at time management. Sometimes I will put the most important things off till the deadline approaches. Just the day before yesterday, I was working my butt off to figure out the first draft for my paper. The deadline was just yesterday, you just couldn’t imagine that I got butterflies in my stomach during that crucial moment.
你学会了吗? 多多口头操练起来吧!
