第20课:勇敢的 - 12
【迷你小对话】
A: Maurice must have ice in his veins when he drives. He never gets nervous, no matter how dangerous the road is.
B: He certainly is as cool as a cucumber when it comes to driving in the mountains.
A: Maurice开车时一点都不动声色。不管路况有多危险,他从不紧张。
B: 他开山路的时候真是出奇地冷静。
【语言点精讲】
have ice in one’s veins: 字面意思是说在某人的血管里有冰雪。这个短语用来形容某人冷酷无情,或者个性强硬,仿佛血管里充满的是冷冰冰的冰雪,而不是温暖的血液。
get nervous: (变得)紧张。
no matter: 无论;不管;不论如何。
as cool as a cucumber: 形容人是极其镇定的,非常冷静的,情绪不会受到周围环境的影响。cucumber,黄瓜。黄瓜在西方通常是冷吃的蔬菜,并且由于它的颜色是冷色调的绿色,因此cucumber被用来形容冷酷、镇定的性格。
when it comes to…: 当……情况时;就……情况时。
