Lesson 1 - give one a hand / foot the bill

give me a hand foot the bill blow out

lock, stock and barrel hook, line and sinker

每一种语言都有它独特的成语和俗语。而学习外语的人经常在理解这些习惯用语时会感到很困难。这是因为你不可能从组成某个习惯用语的字面上来懂得它的意思。

比如,美国人经常说:\按照字面来理解, \就是\给我一只手。\可是,它的意思却是\帮我一下忙。\另外一个例子是: \

\的意思是 \一只脚\而\在这儿的解释是\账单\。\并不是把帐单踩在脚底下,而是付账的意思。

另外,有的时候,一个词汇有好几种解释。就拿下面一句话来作例子吧: 例句-1:\because our car had a blow-out.\

这句话里第一个blow-out是指规模很大的聚会,第二个blow-out是指汽车的轮胎炸了。整个句子的意思是:\由于我们车胎炸了,所以我们晚了两个小时才到达查理举行生日宴会的地方。\

还有一些习惯用语从字典上的意思来看是相
