英語口語練習(xí)小對(duì)話 第775期:泰然自若
第一，迷你對(duì)話
A: Oh, my God. I have forgotten what I need to buy.
哦，天啊，我忘記我需要買的東西了。
B: Do not worry. Just be as cool as a cucumber.
別急，鎮(zhèn)定點(diǎn)。
第二，核心短語
as cool as a cucumber
1. 解詞釋義
To be as cool as a cucumber的字面意思是“像黃瓜一樣涼爽”， 比喻為“鎮(zhèn)定，冷靜，泰然自若”的意思。表示一個(gè)遇到麻煩時(shí)很冷靜，很鎮(zhèn)定，很放松。Cool在這里的意思不是“涼爽”，是“冷靜的”的意思。使用時(shí)，表示對(duì).....表現(xiàn)得冷靜，在短語后面用上介詞upon，即:be as cool as a cucumber uponsomething。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. It's not everybody who can keep as cool as a cucumber in an emergency.
并不是人人都能在危急時(shí)刻保持鎮(zhèn)定自若的。
e.g. He is as cool as a cucumber upon every act of atrocity.
他面對(duì)一切暴行都表現(xiàn)得冷靜沉著。
e.g. He kept as cool as a cucumber as the newspaper reporters shouted questions at him atonce.
在報(bào)社記者七嘴八舌地高聲向他提問時(shí),他始終表現(xiàn)得鎮(zhèn)定自若。
