天氣炎熱，有關hot的短語你會說嗎？

　　正值六月，每天的氣溫只升不降。提到熱，大家都會想到hot這個簡單的詞語?？墒牵琱ot這個詞除了表示熱的意思之外，它也有許多其他的短語。我們一起來學習一下!

　　1) be in hot water

　　中文里有個說法，叫做處于水深火熱之中，形容人的處境危險。在英語中，be in hot water means to be in or get into a difficult situation in which you are in danger of being criticized or punished. 意思是遇到麻煩，處于困境之中。與中文的水深火熱的意思相似。

　　2) hot potato

　　Hot potato means a subject or problem that no one wants to deal with, because it is difficult and any decision might make people angry. Hot potato可以翻譯為燙手山芋，喻指棘手的問題。有的同學直譯過來會翻譯成“熱土豆”，那可就鬧笑話啦!

　　They are trying their best to do anything they can to drop her like a hot potato.

　　他們正想盡他們最大努力來把她這個燙手山芋給甩掉。

　　3) Blow hot and cold

　　Blow hot and cold means to sometimes like or be interested in something or someone and sometimes not, so people are confused about how you really feel. “Blow hot and cold” 用來形容對事物的興趣像天氣一樣忽冷忽熱，變化無常，或者總是改變自己的觀點，搖擺不定。
