英语口语精华

英文吐槽:我等的花儿都谢了~

01 Mar 2017

Description

加入“365天英语学习计划”,+我的Wechat:“oralenglish”.1.Kick one's heels等人等到不能忍,无聊到只能踢脚后跟。这个短语的意思是,等人时没有别的事做,好无聊啊!例:We were kicking our heels, waiting for some customers. 我们百无聊赖地等待客人光临。2. Wait ages for (somebody/ sth)这个说法虽然有点夸张,但是绝对能表达出当事人无奈的心情。等待是漫长的,尤其是早起等车望眼欲穿的那一刻。例:I had to wait ages for a bus. 我不得不等了老半天的车。3. Twiddle one's thumbs很多人等得不耐烦又没事做,就只能玩手。那时,你真的有种浪费生命的赶脚。这个短语就用来形容等待时的无所事事。例:I was just twiddling my thumbs until the phone rang. 电话铃响前,我一直无所事事。4. Hang around因为要等某个人,你只能待在原地打转,这种被困的等待,你有没有?例:You hang around here in case he comes, and I'll go on ahead. 我先走,你在这里等着,万一他过会儿到了呢。5. wait up (for sb)如果你为了等某人回来,还不能睡觉,就可以用上这个短语。不过,通常它会用来告诉对方不用等了。例:I'll be back very late so don't wait up for me. 我会回来得很晚,别等我了。
