dyed in the wool

/?da?.d?n.ð??w?l/

dyed in the wool以染色的織物來比喻人。染色有兩個(gè)辦法,一是生染,即原毛(wool)紡成紗之后就染色(dye in the wool),可以染得徹底;一是把紗織成布之后才染色(dye in the piece),但這樣顏色比較易褪。用以喻人或信仰,dyed in the wool就是「徹頭徹尾的」或「根深蒂固的」。

If someone is dyed-in-the-wool, or has dyed-in-the-wool opinions, they hold those opinions strongly and will not change them.

固執(zhí)己見的,頑固的

例:

He's a dyed-in-the-wool traditionalist where cooking is concerned - he doesn't allow any modern gadgets in the kitchen.

在烹飪方面他是個(gè)徹頭徹尾的傳統(tǒng)主義者——他不使用任何現(xiàn)代廚房炊具。
