Native English speakers use a lot of idioms『习惯用语』, that is - words used in a way which is not their obvious meaning. An English speaker may say: "I do not think much of apples『我不太喜欢苹果』." This does not mean he doesn't often think about apples. It means that he does not like apples very much! Another example:“He was born with a silver spoon『勺子』in his mouth『他含着银勺子出生(出生于富贵人家)』.” This also does not mean when he was born, there is a silver spoon right there in his mouth. It means that he was born in a very rich family. The same examples are everywhere! But don't worry. You will find that you can understand and communicate even when you have not been learning English for long!『即使开始学英语的时间不长但也能明白别人的谈话,并与人交流!』 [BRIAN小结] 1、idiom:习惯用语 经典例句:Maff can use couples of idioms at the age of four. /玛夫四岁的时候就能说很多习惯用语了。 2、He was born with a silver spoon in his month. /他出生于富贵人家。 3、The same examples are everywhere! /同样的例子到处都是! |
