返回信息流上班了,开始努力学英语了。听听力,听到很多有趣的关于面包、糕点的短语很有意思,跟大家分享一下。有一些听着挺新鲜的,不知道火星不。
面包组
1、It is the best thing since the sliced bread.用来描述sth is new and improved
因为曾经面包都是在烘面包店里一炉一炉卖的,后来超市里有切片面包了,大家觉得很先进很方便。
2、the bread winner 指家里最会挣钱的人
3、half a loaf is better than none 聊胜于无。这个以前见过
4、know which side your bread is butter on 知道长处、兴趣在哪方面
糕点组
1、sth is a peice of cake 小菜一碟,这个很常用
2、icing on the cake 锦上添花,挺形象的
3、You can't have your cake and eat it too.二者不可得兼,我勒个去也。。。
4、It's selling like hotcakes. 有东西在热卖呢
5、drop some people like a hot cake 不和他来往了(像烫手山芋一样扔掉了?)
6、flat as a pancake 真的很无聊
7、sharp cookie 讨厌的,不择手段的,精明的人
8、that's the way the cookie crumbles 唉,事情没弄好,那就这样吧
9、it is easy as pie 形容事情很简单。(简单得像吃饼一样?)
嗯,这就是昨天的成果。要坚持,欢迎大家监督。

4、know which side your bread is butter on 知道长处、兴趣在哪方面
这个应该是知道站在哪边的意思吧?
He was a shrewd businessman. He knew which side his bread was buttered on.
他是一个精明的商人,深知自己的利益所在。
The judges of the lower and superior courts knew on which side their bread was buttered.
初级法庭和高级法庭的法官,都知道他们是靠谁吃饭的。
However much he sympathizes with you, he won't say anything to offend his boss. He knows which side his bread is buttered.
尽管他很同情你,但他不会说任何冒犯老板的话,他是知道自己的利害所在的。
5、drop some people like a hot cake 不和他来往了(像烫手山芋一样扔掉了?)
这个应该是potato吧?
"If I were you, I'd drop that client like a hot potato; he's always suing somebody for something, but he usually loses and he doesn't pay his lawyer's bills."
要是我是你的话,我就把你那个顾客马上甩掉。他老是为了什么事去告别人,可是他总是输给别人,他还往往不付律师费。
Steve: It sure is. If you were broke, she'd drop you like a hot potato.
史蒂夫:当然啊!如果你口袋没钱了,你就会像烫手山芋一样被她甩掉。
或者是栗子啊~~
cake哪有hot的………………hot的都熔化了…………汗……
drop sth. like a hot chestnut
急忙扔掉某物
9、it is easy as pie 形容事情很简单。(简单得像吃饼一样?)

我以为是像制作派一样简单吧~
