蓝色在英语中我们都知道是blue,当老外对你说You're such a bule-eyed boy的时候,你是不是一脸懵逼呢?你还会疑问,明明我是黑眼睛呀!这时候那可就尴尬了!其实关于blue在英语中有很多的用法,并不是我们所熟知的,那就一起来看看吧!
1.Out of the blue
突然
例句:
You won't believe it but Tom called me out of the blue yesterday, and told me he had decided to quit her job and go travelling for a year!
你能想到吗,Tom昨天突然打来电话说他决定辞职去旅行一年!
2.A blue-eyed Boy
红人、宠儿
在西方人的眼里,白皮肤,蓝眼睛,黄头发,都是非常美丽的事物。这类人就是颜值高,讨人喜爱的代名词。
例句:
He is such a blue-eyed boy! I don’t like that the manager always treats him as if he is special,which is not fair on the rest of us!
他真是个受宠的家伙!我看不惯经理总是对他特殊对待,这对其他人来说太不公平了!
3.Once in a blue moon
千载难逢,极为罕见
月亮呈蓝色的时候很少,通常是在火山爆发时。正常体积的火山灰会衍射红色光,在黄昏时让月亮看上去呈红色;而大量的火山灰则会衍射蓝色光,让月亮看上去呈蓝色。毕竟火山爆发不是每次规模都很大,所以,蓝色月亮很罕见。
例句:
My sister is working in Africa. She hardly ever has the chance to call us. My parents only hear from her once in a blue moon.
我姐姐在非洲工作。她几乎没什么机会给我们打电话。我父母很少能提到她的消息。
4.A bolt from the blue
完全意想不到的事情、晴天霹雳
例句:
It was a complete bolt from the blue for us, we had no idea that they were having problems, let alone getting divorced!
我们完全没想到他们俩会有矛盾,更别想到他们竟然会离婚!
5.Blue in the Face
费尽气力徒劳无功
例句:
Will argued with his wife until he was blue in the face, but she still made him wash the dishes.
Will费劲气力地跟太太争论,可是无功而返。她还是让Will洗了碗。
