1. Head Start
如果这两个字开头的字母是大写,则连在一起是一个专有名词,指的是美国政府为贫穷或弱智的儿童设立的一种训练机构,帮助他们,希望他们在进小学之前能赶上教学进度。
例句: Many poor parents send their children to Head Start. 很多贫困的父母都送孩子去学前预备培训机构。
但是如果head start的字母是小写,那么就是普通名词了,是指比别人早着手,或领先、有利,即:advance start or advantage
例句:To know more colloquial expressions is a head start in learning English. 了解更多的俗语对学习英语有好处。
2. blue blood
是指有钱人或出身富家的人 (rich or wealthy people)
例句:
Some people do not want to admit that they have blue blood. 有些人不愿承认自己是富家出身。
Many blue blooded children attend this private school. 许多有钱人家的孩子就读这所私立学校。
3. bed of roses
意思是称心如意的境遇;美好、理想的安乐窝(everything seems to be wonderful)
例句:Life is not always a bed of roses. 生活未必都是称心如意的。
4. from soup to nuts
意思是从头到尾,自始至终;或是一应俱全,完整详尽(多半是指物品方面)。
例如:
This store sells everything from soup to nuts. 这家商店出售的货品一应俱全。
My office is supplied from soup to nuts. 我办公室里的用品十分齐全。
但是如果指知识丰富的话,则不用这个词,而是通常用 from A to Z来表达。
例如:
Mr. Greenspan knows economics from A to Z. 格林斯潘先生在经济方面的知识非常丰富。
5. off-limits
意思是禁止入内;限制进出或不准使用,也就是关闭 (closed or not available)
例如:
The library will be off-limits to the public until re-carpeting project is completed. 新地毯铺好之前,图书馆闭馆。
The teachers have the use of a john that is off-limits to students. 学生不得使用教师厕所。 (john小写的时候才是指厕所。)
6. real bomb
在口语里是指在公众场所或舞台上表演失败或表现欠佳。通常与 real用在一起。
例如:
The show was a real bomb, so I cut out early. 这个剧很糟糕,所以我提前退场了。(cut out = leave)
如果 bomb 作名词用,意思就是炸弹;作动词,则是轰炸,或失败、极坏的意思。(very bad)
例如:
A U.S. fighter dropped a bomb over Iraq. 一架美国轰炸机往伊拉克扔了一颗炸弹。(作名词)
= A U.S. fighter bombed Iraq. (作动词)
值得注意的是:real bomb有时也指真正的炸弹.
例如:
The police found a real bomb in the building. 警察在建筑物中发现了一颗真炸弹。
