1.hop in 上车
If you want a ride to school,hop on in!
当别人跟你说"hop in"的时候,千万别真的就单脚跳上去哦,人家既然想要给你搭个便车,肯定就不会灾刻意为难你做单足跳啦!
2.scarf out 大吃大喝
We are really gonna scarf out tonight!
每逢周末假日或者各种各样的纪念日,人们常常会选择和家人或朋友出外饱餐一顿来庆祝一番,大家当然可以用"to eat a lot"来表达"大吃一顿",但这样听起来似乎没有那么地道.事实上,你要是拜访加利福尼亚的年轻朋友,不出几个小时就可能会听到这个短语,他们实际上是在邀请你出外饱餐一顿呢,千万不要因为不懂这个俚语而错失良机哦!
3.drive someone up a wall 使某人非常生气
He is starting to drive me up a wall!
试想一下,"他把我拉上墙"应该是一副让大家匪夷所思的画面吧.其实这里它的意思等同于"to annoy someone greatly",不过鲜活的俚语使愤怒的心情跃然纸上,说起来也"解恨"多了.
4.put something on the back burner 推迟某事
You will have to put your project on the back burner for now. There just is not enough time todo it.
这条俚语源于烹饪,指将不及于烹饪的食物放在炉子上.这里延伸出的意思为"把你手头上不那么要紧的事情先往后放一放!"
5.Beats me! 我不知道!
A:How old do you think she is?
B:Beats me!
大家肯定以为这个人是不是个"受虐狂"啊?好好的,干嘛给别人送上门把自己打败呀?其实这里,"Beats me!"相当于我们经常说的"I don't know",另外,在口语中"You got me!"同样也表达"我不知道"的意思.

如果一天你的外国朋友对你说："Buddy,I've been through hell.I'm having a beef with my boss."你应该怎么回答？祝贺他和老板一起吃牛排，公作关系有新发展吗？那你的朋友一定不会再和你一起吃牛排了．
在着个俚语里，beef意为"an argument"或"a complaint"．所以短语have a beef with sb.就是"与某人发生矛盾，关系紧张"的意思．

新的一学期开始了，过去的一学期里，有过快乐
，有过悲伤
，有过迷茫
，有过遗憾
．．．无论曾经经历过什么，逝去的已然逝去，每天又是一个新的开始！时间促使我们永远只能向前！加油．．．．．
不要整天抱怨生活欠了我们什么，生活根本不知道我们是谁！幸福也很简单，一种感觉，一种心态．
这次四级一定要过啊~~
