今天Tem老师又为大家带来了两个简单有趣的俚语,快跟着我们一起且学且玩,相信很快你就可以愉快地与外国朋友聊天。
1、Cram
这里的cram可不是把柜子“填满”的意思哦。Cram means to study quickly and intensely,也就是俗话说的“临时抱佛脚”。
-I can't believe the test is tomorrow. I haven't started studying yet. I really need to cram.
我无法相信明天考试,我还没有开始学习呢,真的需要死记硬背了。
-Out of class, many students go to cram school.
下了课,许多学生去上补习班。
2、Big Mouth
It means that he or she talks too much , it often means that a person can’t keep a secret!大嘴巴的人都很喜欢八卦,并且口无遮拦,童鞋们在生活中遇上这样的人,可要保持距离哦。
-I bet David already told everyone. He has such a big mouth .
我敢打赌,大卫已经告诉大家了。他是一个大嘴巴。
-Why don't you shut your big mouth?
你怎么不闭上你的大嘴巴?
