Lessons（课文）

Try using all of the fun body idioms when you write a short of your own about you or your friend.

Below is an example.

As with all idioms you won't find any of these meanings in a dictionary, but these are the real meanings of common spoke en English idioms. We hope you can use more idioms to help you speak more fluent English.

在进行描述你自己或朋友的写作时，不妨试着使用一些有趣的身体习惯用语。

以下是一则例子。

虽然在字典里你可能找不到这些身体习惯用语的解释，但是在日常的英语会话里，这些却很常见。我们希望借助这些身体习惯用语，你可以说更流利的英语。

Example story (故事举例):

Molly the babe has a green thumb but two left feet. Long ago she lived in the city, but she felt there was not enough elbow room, so she moved to the countryside. There she met Jack who caught her eye. However, Jack was often up to his neck in work so he had no time to buy gifts for Molly. Jack also liked to get a five finger discount at the store, he hated spending money. Molly, on the other hand was heads above the rest when came to being honest. She had a big mouth and told every one that Jack liked to get a five finger discount. Molly soon got Jack to go back and pay for the stolen merchandise. The manager who put his nose into their business, named Gordon, said, "two thumbs up, I am heads over heels in love with you and your honesty." So it was that Molly said goodbye to Jack and hello to Gordon.

漂亮女孩莫莉有一手不错的园艺，但在跳舞上却不太精通。很久以前她住在市区，但是现在她却觉得住市区很挤，所以搬到了郊区的乡下住。在那里她邂逅了杰克并对他一见钟情。可是杰克的工作很忙，不能总是给莫莉买礼物。杰克还喜欢到商店偷东西而不愿花自己的钱。另一方面，在谈到诚实度上，莫莉可一丝不苟，她不能保守秘密，告诉每个人杰克有偷窃的习惯。莫莉很快就让杰克到商店把他所偷窃的物品归还商店，介入这件事的商店经理叫Gardon, 他说：“太好了，我很喜欢你也喜欢你的诚实。”因此莫莉跟杰克分手，跟Gardon 好了。

Now you try a short story using your friends as the characters!

现在你可以试着写一个短故事，以你的朋友作为故事的主角。

Dialogue（对话）

Gordon: I give my new girlfriend two thumbs up. Are you jealous?

Molly: You wish, in your dreams. I give my new hunk four thumbs up.

Gordon: You can't give four thumbs up, you only have two thumbs!

Molly: I have two thumbs on my feet! Ha!

Gordon: Those are called big toes, not foot thumbs. Some times your are silly.(250)

Molly: Not as silly as some English idioms. For example, head over heels in love. What does that mean anyway?

Gordon: It means you are so much in love you fall down and can't control yourself. Are yo u head over heels in love with your new boyfriend?

Molly: It is a secret. If I told you, he would say I have a big mouth.

Gordon: Can you at least tell me if he has two left feet?

Molly: He does not have two left feet, in fact he dances like the Latin hunk, Ricky Martin.

Gordon: Where is he from, Mars?

Molly: No, jealous boy, he is from the countryside where there is a lot of elbow room. Not like us in the big city, we have no elbowroom.

Gordon: You can say that again. There are too many people here. Every time I try to get a five-finger discount at the store, someone sees me.

Molly: You are a bad boy.

Gordon: Don't beautiful girls all like bad boys?

Molly: Of course, but we don't tell anyone about it.

Gordon: Ha, you told me the secret, you do have a big mouth.

Molly: You are going to have a big face, after I beat you!

戈登：我竖双指赞扬我的女朋友了，你嫉妒吗？

莫莉：你希望我嫉妒啊？做梦去吧，你。我竖四指赞扬我新的明星男友。

戈登：你可以翘起四个大拇指表示夸赞，但是你只有两个大拇指。

莫莉：我脚上还有两个大拇指！哈哈哈……

戈登：那叫大脚趾头，不叫脚拇指！有时候你显得很傻（250）。

莫莉：不象一些英语的习惯用语那么傻。

比如说，head over heels in love。不管怎么说，那是什么意思？

戈登：意思是你太爱了什么了以致于摔倒不能控制自己了。

你是那么疯狂地爱你的新男友吗？

莫莉：这是秘密。如果我告诉你，

他就会说我有个大嘴巴。

戈登：你至少可以告诉我他是不是长了两只左脚吧？

莫莉：他没有长两只左脚，实际上他跳起舞来棒得象那个拉丁明星瑞奇·玛丁一样。

戈登：他从哪儿来，火星吗？

莫莉：不 ，嫉妒的小伙子，他来自空间广阔的乡下，不象我们一样生活在大城市里，到处都挤满了人。

戈登：你说得没错，这儿的人太多了，每次我想在商店里偷点什么的

时候总有人看见我。

莫莉：你是个坏孩子。

戈登：不是人们都说漂亮女孩喜欢坏男孩吗？

莫莉：当然，但是我们不对所有人都这么说的。

戈登：哈，你告诉了我这个秘密，你有张大嘴巴。

莫莉：在我给你一巴掌后你就会有一张大脸了。
