Have Itchy Feet 不是指腳癢,那是什麼? - 老外都這樣說 生活英語


#生活英文


當老外跟你說 I always have itchy feet,可別以為 #ItchyFeet 他是說腳很癢,他是指他總是想旅行或體驗一些新事物。而 get cold feet 不是指腳覺得很冷,而是指感到緊張,中國人是頭頂發麻,老外是腳底生冷 ^__^ 
大家來猜猜看 find your feet 和 thinking on your feet 又是什麼意思呢? 我們來學這些有關「腳」的有趣又實用的片語:

1. Have itchy feet 想換一個地方或一種生活方式
例句:‘I have been in the same job now for the past six years, I am starting to get itchy feet.

2. Take a load off your feet 坐下休息
例句:‘You look exhausted, please have my chair and take a load off your feet.’

3. Cold feet 感到緊張,膽怯
例句:‘He agreed to the deal on the phone but now he is coming over to talk to me, I hope he is not getting cold feet.’

4. Find your feet 能獨立起来,獨當一面
例句:‘He only started the new role last week so he will need some time to find his feet.’

5. Thinking on your feet 隨機應變
例句:‘It's the type of job where you really need to think on your feet

寒流來襲 英文怎麼說 - 商業英語 外國人談天氣 破冰


#生活英文 #ColdSpell

這幾天 #天氣驟降,希望大家都有準備好保暖衣物。今天的主題是 #weather!! #寒流 的在專業氣象報告上是 cold current, cold wave,而口語上我們是說 cold spell。spell 這裡是意指短期間。我們來看更多 cold spell 的用法:

1. We're going to have a cold spell 寒流即將來襲,動詞這裡我們是用 have a cold spell

2. The cold spell broke yesterday. 寒流昨天結束了,broke 原意是破裂,這裡引申為已經結束,或者我們可以說 The cold spell is over

3. The pond was iced over during the cold spell. 寒流期間,水塘都結冰了。如同先前說的 spell 是指期間,所以我們可以用 during the cold spell 來表示這段寒流來襲的期間。
