Mountain(高山)和river(河流)总是相伴左右,形影不离~~mountain高耸入云,river则汇入大海(sea)。在习语的表达中,mountain,river,sea也有不同的趣味表达,一起看看吧!
1.sell someone down the river 出卖某人(在紧要关头)
River指河流,如the River Thames泰晤士河。River mouth指河流的入海口。
They will take advantage of you and sell you down the river.
他们将会利用你之后出卖你。
2.at sea 茫然(不知所措;迷惑;完全复原;不再疼痛)
Sea指大海/海洋。这个短语的本意是航行,引申义为茫然不知所措。
They spent about two months at sea.
他们在海上航行了大约两个月。
He was all at sea when he began to learn programming.
当开始学习编程时,他完全不知道该怎么办。
3.make a mountain out of molehill 小题大做
Mountain一词指的是比较高大的山(a very high hill),如山脉、高山。也可表示大量的意思(a large amount of something)。在短语搭配中常以译为“大量的某物”。Hill指比mountain小的小山丘,丘陵。此处Molehill指鼹鼠刨土堆出的小山丘,引申义为小困难。
You are not hurt badly. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with crying.
你的伤并不重,不要小题大做,这么放声大哭。
