各位親愛的聽眾朋友，這里是晨間7點(diǎn)檔“話說地道美語”，我是Juliet。非常高興在這美麗的清晨很您如約相會(huì)。I cannot express my pleasure beyond description. How are you today. I think you must be fine because you are listening to my programme.

【課前熱身】

首先，let's have a review. 您還得我們在第六課中講到的與“make somebody slightly angry”和“cause somebody trouble”同義的美語在spoken English (口語)上的說法嗎?它是：get in one's hair 打攪(妨礙，打擾)某人;激怒(惹怒)某人。

【今日課堂】

現(xiàn)在我們開始第七課的學(xué)習(xí)。Lesson seven: How to say "毛骨悚然" in American English? 第七課：“毛骨悚然”，美語怎么說?

“毛骨悚然”這個(gè)短語在我們中國文學(xué)上廣泛流傳沿用。古代文學(xué)《東周列國志》中寫到：“清王聞之，不覺毛骨悚然”?，F(xiàn)代文學(xué)巴金老先生的作品《春》中寫到：“淑英看到毛骨悚然，淑華看到怒氣沖天。”若是您跟一位美國作家談?wù)撈谶@些中國名著，那還真得好好學(xué)習(xí)how to say "毛骨悚然" in American English.

“毛骨悚然”中的“悚然”意思是“恐懼的樣子”。身上毛發(fā)豎起，脊梁骨發(fā)冷。用之來形容十分恐懼，極其害怕。So , how to say it in English? We might as well listen to the following sentence: It was that movie that have ever made my hair stand on end. 就是那部電影曾經(jīng)使我看后毛骨悚然，至今還記憶尤新。在這個(gè)句子中，用了一個(gè)含有使役動(dòng)詞make, m-a-k-e的一個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語結(jié)構(gòu)來表述“毛骨悚然”，它是：make one's hair stand on end. Hair 是毛發(fā)，stand on end是豎起來，make one's hair stand on end連在一起就是：被嚇得毛發(fā)都立起來了。It is similar to saying "be scared to death" (被嚇?biāo)懒?。How vividly American use it to give a description of what a man looks like when he's frightened.

Let's look at two more sentences to get a grasp of it in order to use it with ease. 　It really makes my hair stand on end the moment I think that I've been alone in that building in the darkness.每當(dāng)我想起我曾經(jīng)獨(dú)自一人在黑夜中呆在那幢樓里，我就毛骨悚然。2 It made my hair stand on end when I know my wallet had been stolen. 我知道我錢包被偷了，我嚇得渾身毛骨悚然。

【課堂總結(jié)】

Let's have a summary. 在今天的課堂上，我們學(xué)了與很容易就知道的“be scared to death”同義的一個(gè)口語表達(dá)：make one's hair stand on end 跟它同義或者是近義的中文四字短語有：毛骨悚然，不寒而栗，懾人心寒a(chǎn)nd so on. 那么，親愛的聽眾朋友們，您記住了嗎?I'm sure you are smart and have kept it by heart. See you!
