jump out跳出，skin皮膚,那么jump out of one's skin跳出某人的皮膚,這其實(shí)是一個(gè)夸張用法，用skin指代魂不附體、受驚嚇的狀態(tài)，所以jump out of one's skin指的是“大吃一驚，欣喜若狂”。
【例句】
I didn't hear you come into the room and you made me jump out of my skin.
我沒(méi)聽見你走進(jìn)房間，你嚇了我一大跳。
I nearly jumped out of my skin when you dropped that tray; it made such a loud noise.
你把那只盤子掉在地上時(shí)，我?guī)缀鯂樍艘惶?，聲音那么大?/span>
