as cool as a cucumber非常冷静,泰然自若
as cool as a cucumber 和黄瓜一样酷? 乍一看真的很容易看成像黄瓜一样酷,可是黄瓜哪里酷了,小盆友,你是不是有很多问号? 其实单词cool除了有“清凉的、酷的”意思外,还可以指人“镇定、沉着的”。 所以“as cool as a cucumber” 的真实意思是“非常冷静,泰然自若”,即形容人在压力下显得极为冷静,毫不动容。 举个例子: It's not everybody who can keep as cool as a cucumber in an emergency. 并不是人人都能在危急时刻保持镇定自若的。 |
