[中文]

嘿，我是来自 mmmEnglish 的艾玛！

自从我为你们上

习语课以来已经有一段时间了，而且由于你们中的很多人最近

寻求习语方面的帮助，我想

我们最好开始学习它！

英语习语实在是太多了。

你还记得它们是什么吗？它们是短语

，其含义与短语中每个单词的单独含义

不同。

它们是学习英语中非常棘手的部分。

数量很多，数千！

有些习语在

一些国家/地区更常用，但在其他国家/地区则不然，

当您尝试学习它们时，这有点令人沮丧，对吧？

每个人都使用哪些？

我的美国朋友使用一些习语

我会说，“什么？”

和我使用的那些也

直接超出了他们的头脑。

这就是一个习语！

以英语为母语的人经常使用它们。

当确实很难

完全理解它们

时，它们就会以英语口语出现 ，或者停止对话并询问其用法

的含义。

你只是想知道

“他为什么要谈论大象？”

关于习语的一个小提示是，

可能有一些英语习语与您自己的语言中的习语

类似，

例如“鱼尾纹”。

鱼尾纹是人们

由于一生的欢笑或微笑或

在阳光下眯眼过多而产生的皱纹。

但在英语中它们被称为鱼尾纹。

但这些相同的皱纹可能有一个类似的习语

，就像它们在您的语言中的名称一样。因此，如果您

对这些皱纹有某种习语，

我希望您立即将其添加到评论中，因为

我以前听过其中一些，但我很好奇

我们可以收集多少。

在英语中是“鱼尾纹”。

它们看起来有点像鱼尾纹。

现在您可能已经看过我的一些其他

成语课程，我已经制作了相当多的

，但您可以在我的成语播放列表中

找到所有内容。

我还会在本课程结束时提供指向它的链接，以防

您稍后想继续和我一起练习

。

但是还有商业习语、天气习语、

食物习语、节日习语、身体习语。

他们都在那里！

现在，即使您可能觉得

习语让对话变得混乱，

它们也确实很有趣，而且是

表达自己的创意方式。

他们确实展示了你的英语天赋

就像在雅思或托福口语考试中一样，

正确使用习语令人印象深刻。

在我们开始之前，请确保您订阅了

频道，只需点击

下面的红色按钮即可让

了解最新动态！

所以我们今天要学习一些内容。

我们将复习一些常见的动物习语，

从这个开始。

“猫狗下雨”

现在“猫狗下雨”

并不意味着猫狗

从天上掉下来。

这意味着正在下雨，而且不仅仅意味着下雨，

这意味着雨下得很大。下着大雨。

真的下雨了！

现在说实话，

我并不经常使用这个习语

，但我总是在书中遇到它。

所以我想把它放在这里给你。

通常，如果雨下得很大，我会说“正在下雨”

，但

如果倾盆大雨，

最好待在室内。

现在说到猫，谁泄露了猫的秘密？

这个成语用来谈论泄露秘密。

现在想象一下你姐姐告诉你她是

飞回家给你妈妈生日惊喜。

这是一个秘密，对吧？

你不能告诉你妈妈

，因为这不会让人感到惊讶。

如果你这样做了，你就泄露了秘密。

你姐姐可能会说

“请不要告诉爸爸。

他一定会泄露秘密的。”

这个秘密将会被破坏，因为

爸爸无法保守秘密

，聚会就不会再令人惊喜了，不是吗？

您还可以问这样的问题：

谁泄露了这个秘密？

或者你可以道歉，你可以说：

我可能破坏了这个惊喜。

现在我想问你，

你对某件事上瘾了吗？

对我来说，就是咖啡。我对咖啡上瘾了。

我不可能放弃！

嗯，我能做到的唯一方法就是

彻底戒掉。

现在这个没有多大意义。

想象一只非常非常冷的火鸡

对你没有任何帮助。

但如果你突然戒掉，就意味着你

完全停止做某事，百分之一百停止。

我们通常用它来谈论戒除成瘾

，例如吸烟、咖啡、饮酒，

甚至社交媒体成瘾。

我们都知道有人沉迷于手机，

对吧？

或者也许你是！也许您对手机上瘾

。也许你无法放下它。

如果您是，也许您应该考虑

暂时戒掉。

所以你会删除 Facebook，删除 Twitter，

删除 Instagram、Whatsapp，一切，

所有形式的社交媒体！

必须是一切，否则就不是一次性的。

“冷火鸡”的意思是百分之一百。

绝对不行。

现在您可以一次性使用两个动词。

你可以说“go Cold turkey”

，也可以说“quit Cold turkey”

，尽管这更像是美国英语。

所以我很好奇，你之前

戒掉过任何东西吗

并完全停止这样做？

在评论中告诉我。

通常，戒掉火鸡并不那么容易。

你觉得怎么样？

好的，对于下一个习语，我希望您想到一个您认识的人

，他非常善良和温柔。

那么你可以这样描述它们：

它们不会伤害苍蝇。

苍蝇和蚊子很烦人，不是吗？

尤其是在澳大利亚！

所以不会伤害苍蝇的人一定是

那么耐心和善良，对吧？

所以这是一个非常积极、充满感情的习语

，它用来形容一个人。

所以你也可以使用这个表达方式

来安抚某人。

如果他们担心信任某人，

您可能会对他们说

他是您见过的最好的人！

好吧，我想现在是我们讨论

房间里的大象的时候了。

你听说过这个成语吗？

房间里的大象是

没人愿意谈论的事情。

所以这个习语的使用方式非常具体。

这是当人们正常交谈时

，但他们都故意

不谈论特定问题

，但这个问题是一个大问题。就像一头巨大的

大象坐在房间中央，

非常明显，

不可能不看，你也能看到它，对吧？

但没有人谈论它。

这个问题确实很明显

，但每个人都忽略了它，对吗？

或者他们试图避免它

可能是因为这是一个不舒服的话题

或一个困难的情况。

没有人愿意谈论这个，对吧？

谈论金钱可能会有点尴尬，

尤其是与你的老板。

这是一个糟糕的情况！

为什么房间里没有人谈论这件事？

这绝对是每个人都在思考的问题。

为什么我还没有收到付款？

这是房间里的大象。

我们需要解决这个大问题，对吧？

这是我最喜欢的习语之一。

这是我经常使用的一个。

当你心里忐忑不安时，

就是你感到有点紧张的时候。

你知道这种感觉吗？

就在

走上讲台

在一百个人面前演讲

并展示您的研究之前，您胃里就有这种感觉。

感觉就像有蝴蝶在你的肚子里

飞舞，对吧？

现在想一想任何让您感到如此紧张的事情

以至于您的肚子开始感觉有点奇怪。

这可以形容为

你肚子里的蝴蝶吧？

您可以用它来描述良好的紧张感觉

或不良的紧张感觉。

您最后一次

心惊胆战是什么时候？

你知道这种感觉吗？

告诉我什么让你紧张

以及你何时有这种感觉。

对我来说，如果我在开车时

警灯，我会立即感到心惊胆战

在汽车后视镜中看到

即使我没有做错任何事！

您可以在这里说“胃”或“肚子”。

“肚皮”只是更非正式一点，

这是“胃”的非正式说法。

现在你可能还会听到人们只是说

“我有蝴蝶”

，他们谈论的是同一个习语

，除非那个人口袋里有一罐

蝴蝶，

那么他们可能会这么说，并且字面意思是

，但这不太可能，对吧？

所以这是下一个习语：“鱼离开水”

现在，如果您看到有人

在特定情况下感到不舒服

就像您的奶奶，如果她走进夜总会。

然后它们看起来就像一条离开水的鱼。

她会感觉像鱼离开水一样，

真的很不舒服吧？

她在夜总会会感到非常尴尬

除非你有一个超级酷的奶奶。

或者也许当您被邀请参加聚会

但每个人的母语都是英语时，

您可能会感觉有点像鱼离开了水。

好的，我们还有时间再讲一个习语。

“打开一罐蠕虫”

想象一下装满蠕虫的罐头。

里面充满了长长的、蠕动的、

蠕动的蠕虫，它们都扭曲在一起。

所以当你打开那罐蠕虫时，

你会遇到一团乱。

他们会去任何地方！

清理

并尝试将它们全部捕获可能真的很困难，对吗？与开始时相比，您将会遇到更多

的问题。

当它们装在罐子里时会更容易，但如果你打开它

就会出现问题。

或者

因此，如果您不想造成棘手的情况，那么

不要打开蠕虫罐，对吗？很简单！

这些是我经常使用的一些常见动物习语

，但还有更多。

你还知道其他英文的吗？

或者您能分享一下您自己语言中的任何动物习语

的含义吗？

也许英文中也有一些类似的

，我们可以在评论中讨论。

并确保您在下面的评论中尝试使用

您在本课

中学到的一些新习语。

我会尽力向您提供一些反馈并帮助您

以确保您正确使用它们。

[英语]

Well hey there I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!

Now it's been a while since I've made you an

idioms lesson and since so many of you have been

asking for help with idioms lately, I thought

we'd better get to it!

There are just so many English idioms.

Do you remember what they are? They're phrases,

whose meaning is different to the individual meaning

of each of the words in the phrase.

They're a really tricky part of learning English.

There's lots of them, thousands!

And some idioms are more commonly used in

some countries but not in others which is a little bit

frustrating when you're trying to learn them, right?

Which ones are the ones that everyone uses?

There are some idioms that my American friends use

that I'm like, 'What?'

and ones that I use that go

straight over their head as well.

That's an idiom right there!

Native English speakers use them a lot.

They pop up in spoken English when it's really difficult

to, you know, fully understand them

or stop the conversation and ask about the meaning

of how it's used.

You're just sort of left wondering

'Why is he talking about an elephant?'

One little hint with idioms is that

there are probably some English idioms that are similar

to the ones that you have in your own language

like 'crows feet'.

Crows feet are the wrinkles that people get here

caused by a lifetime of laughing and smiles or

maybe too much squinting in the sun.

But in English they're called crows feet.

But these same wrinkles might have a similar idiom

as their name in your language. So if you do

have some sort of idiom for these wrinkles here,

I want you to add it to the comments right now because

I've heard a few of them before but I'm curious to see

just how many we can collect.

They're 'crows feet' in English.

They kind of look like a crows foot.

Now you may have seen some of my other

idioms lessons, I've made quite a few

but you can find all of them right here

on my idioms playlist.

I'll also link to it at the end of this lesson just in case

you want to keep practising

a little bit more with me later on.

But there's business idioms, weather idioms,

food idioms, holiday idioms, body idioms.

They're all there!

Now even though you probably feel like

idioms make a conversation confusing,

they're also really fun and they're a great

creative way to express yourself.

They really show off your English talents

like in a speaking exam for IELTS or TOEFL,

using an idiom correctly is quite impressive.

And before we get started, make sure you subscribe

to the channel just by clicking

that red button down there so that you can keep

up-to-date with what's happening!

So we're going to learn a few today.

We're going to go over some common animal idioms,

starting with this one.

'It's raining cats and dogs'

Now 'it's raining cats and dogs'

doesn't mean that cats and dogs are

falling out of the sky.

It means that it's raining and it doesn't just mean raining,

it means raining really hard. It's heavy rain.

It's really rainy!

Now to be totally honest,

I don't really use this idiom that much

but I come across it all the time in books.

So I wanted to include it here for you.

Usually I would say "It's bucketing down"

if it's raining really hard but

if it's raining cats and dogs,

it's probably best to stay inside.

Now speaking of cats, who let the cat out of the bag?

This idiom is used to talk about revealing a secret.

Now just imagine your sister told you that she was

flying home to surprise your mum for her birthday.

It's a secret, right?

You can't tell your mum

because it wouldn't be a surprise.

If you did, you would let the cat out of the bag.

Your sister might say

"Please don't tell Dad.

He'll definitely let the cat out of the bag."

The secret will be ruined because

dad can't keep a secret

and the party wouldn't be a surprise anymore, would it?

You can also ask the question:

Who told the secret?

Or you can apologise, you can say:

I may have spoiled the surprise.

Now I want to ask you,

have you got an addiction to something?

For me, it's coffee. I've got a coffee addiction.

I can't possibly give it up!

Well, the only way that I could do it is if I just went

cold turkey.

Now this one doesn't make much sense.

Picturing a turkey who's really, really cold

won't help you at all.

But if you go cold turkey it means that you

stop doing something completely, a hundred per cent.

And we usually use it to talk about quitting addictions

like smoking, coffee, drinking,

even social media addictions.

We all know someone who's addicted to their phone,

right?

Or maybe you are! Maybe you're addicted

to your phone. Maybe you can't put it down.

If you are, maybe you should think about

going cold turkey for a while.

So you'd delete Facebook, delete Twitter,

delete Instagram, Whatsapp, everything,

all forms of social media!

It has to be everything otherwise it's not cold turkey.

'Cold turkey' means a hundred per cent.

Absolutely no.

Now you can use two verbs with cold turkey.

You can either say "go cold turkey"

or you can "quit cold turkey"

though that's a little more American, American English.

So I'm curious, have you ever

quit anything cold turkey before

and completely stopped doing it?

Tell me in the comments.

Usually, it's not so easy to go cold turkey.

What do you think?

Okay for the next idiom I want you to think of someone

that you know who's very kind and gentle.

Well you can describe them by saying

they wouldn't hurt a fly.

Flies and mosquitoes are pretty annoying, aren't they?

Especially here in Australia!

So someone who wouldn't hurt a fly must be

so patient and kind, right?

So this is a really positive, affectionate idiom

and it's used to describe a person.

So you can also use this expression

to reassure someone.

If they're worried about trusting someone,

you might say to them

He's the nicest guy that you'll ever meet!

All right I think it's really time we talk about

the elephant in the room.

Have you ever heard of this idiom?

The elephant in the room is the thing that

nobody wants to talk about.

So it's quite specific, the way you use this idiom.

It's when people are talking normally

but they're all deliberately

not talking about a particular issue

but this issue is a big one. It's like a big, huge

elephant sitting in the middle of the room that

is really obvious and it's impossible

not to look at and you can see it, right?

But nobody's talking about it.

The issue is something really obvious

but everyone's ignoring it, right?

Or they're trying to avoid it

probably because it's an uncomfortable topic

or a difficult situation.

No one wants to talk about this, right?

Talking about money can be a little bit awkward,

especially with your boss.

This is a bad situation!

Why is no one in the room talking about it?

It's definitely what everyone's been thinking about.

Why haven't I been paid?

It's the elephant in the room.

We need to deal with this big issue, right?

This one is one of my favourite idioms.

It's one that I use a lot.

When you have butterflies in your stomach,

it's when you feel kind of nervous.

Do you know this feeling?

It's that feeling in your stomach right before

you walk on stage

to speak in front of a hundred people

and present your research.

It feels like you literally have butterflies flying around

inside your belly, right?

Now think of anything that makes you feel so nervous

that your tummy starts to feel a little funny.

This can be described as

butterflies in your stomach, right?

You can use it to describe good nervous feelings

or bad nervous feelings.

When was the last time

you had butterflies in your stomach?

Do you know this feeling?

Tell me about what makes you nervous

and when you had this feeling.

For me, if I see

police lights in the rear-vision mirror in my car

when I'm driving, I instantly get butterflies in my belly

even if I've done nothing wrong!

You can say 'stomach' or 'belly' here.

'Belly' is just a little more informal,

it's an informal way to say 'stomach'.

Now you might also hear people just say

"I've got butterflies"

and they're talking about this same idiom

unless that person has a jar of

butterflies with them in their pocket,

then they might be saying it and literally mean it

but that's unlikely, right?

So here's the next idiom: 'a fish out of water'

Now if you see someone who is

uncomfortable in a specific situation

like your grandma, if she walked into a nightclub.

Then they look like a fish out of water.

She would feel like a fish out of water,

really uncomfortable, right?

She would feel completely awkward in a nightclub

unless you've got a super cool granny.

Or maybe when you get invited to a party

but everyone is a native English speaker,

you might feel a little like a fish out of water there.

Okay we've got time for one more idiom.

'to open a can of worms'

Imagine a can full of worms.

It's full of long, wriggling,

squirming worms that are all twisted together.

So when you open that can of worms,

you're going to have a big mess.

They're going to go everywhere!

It's probably going to be really difficult to clean up

and try and catch them all, right? You'll have

a lot more problems than when you started.

It's easier when they're in the can but if you open it

there's going to be problems.

Or

So if you don't want to create a tricky situation, then

don't open the can of worms, right? It's simple!

So those are some of the common animal idioms

that I tend to use quite often but there are more.

Do you know any other ones in English?

Or can you share the meaning of any animal idioms

in your own language?

Perhaps there are some similar ones in English

and we can chat about them in the comments.

And make sure you try and use

some of the new idioms that you've learnt in this lesson

below in the comments.

I'll try and give you some feedback and help you

to make sure you're using them correctly.
