open sesame 芝麻开门
“芝麻开门”的英语就是open sesame,英语释义是“something that makes it very easy to achieve a particular thing”,形容(达到…的)法宝,通行手段,开门咒语。用法就是搭配to,比如: Academic success is not always an open sesame to a well-paid job. 在校成绩好并非总是获得高薪职位的敲门砖。 补充一些和open sesame差不多意思的表达。 shortcut 既是空间上的“近路,捷径”,比如: I know a shortcut to town. 我知道一条去城里的近路。 也是(做某事的)捷径: Fame can be a shortcut to love and money. 名望可以是得到爱情和金钱的捷径。 ticket to 搭配success,fame,stardom这些词表示获得成功和名望。比如: She hoped that getting this job would finally be her ticket to success. 她希望得到这份工作终将会使她踏上成功之途。 gateway to 形容通向……的道路,大门,用法和上一个差不多: A good education is the gateway to success. 良好的教育是通往成功之路。 |
