面對(duì)不順時(shí)，通常會(huì)用到哪些英語(yǔ)短語(yǔ)
學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)短語(yǔ)也有一段時(shí)間了，你知不知道，英語(yǔ)里面對(duì)不順的情況時(shí)，通常會(huì)用到哪些英語(yǔ)短語(yǔ)嗎?下文有驚喜。
1. Lemon = something defective
廢物，沒(méi)用的東西。
范例對(duì)話:
A: Have you seen Joanne's new car yet?
B: Yeah. It looks good, but she's had nothing but problems with it.
A: That's too bad. It sounds like she got a real lemon.
B: She sure did! No sooner did she drive it home from the dealer's than it proved defective and started breaking down.
2. Get Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed = wake up in a bad mood
起床時(shí)心情很壞。
范例對(duì)話:
A: What's the matter with Bernard today? He started shouting from the moment he stepped into the office.
B: I don't know. He usually doesn't act that way at all. I guess he got up on the wrong side of the bed.
A: Just because he woke up in a bad mood is no reason for him to be so cross and to go around shouting at everybody.
B: Hopefully he'll relax as the day goes on.
A: Amen!
3. Get the Ax = be dismissed, fired
美國(guó)式的炒魷魚(yú)是接斧頭，表示被解雇。
范例對(duì)話:
A: I feel sorry for Richard. He was feeling quite depressed when I ran into him.
B: Did he tell you what was bothering him?
A: Among other things, he informed me that he got the ax at work.
B: That's strange. He's always been a conscientious worker. I wonder why they dismissed him from his job?
A: Evidently he had a disagreement on company policies with one of the top executives.
4. In the Hole = in debt
中國(guó)人說(shuō)債臺(tái)高壘，美國(guó)人說(shuō)掉進(jìn)債窟。In the hole 表示欠債.
范例短文:
Unfortunately, Peter had to sell his neighborhood hardware store. Because of competition from the bigger stores in the shopping center, he was going in the hole every month. His store was small and did not generate enough income to meet expenses. As a consequence, he was rapidly losing money and going into debt.
5. Face the Music = accept the consequences
面對(duì)事實(shí), 接受后果。
范例對(duì)話:
A: It's no wonder you have a stomachache. I told you not to eat so many green apples. You don't listen, and now you're going to have to face the music.
B: The trouble with me is that I can't stop with just one or two, especially when they're so tart. I'll admit that I tend to forget that eventually I'm going to have the accept the consequences for what I've done.
A: I sure hope it was worth it.
6. blow it = fail at something
把事情搞砸了。
范例對(duì)話:
A: How did you do on the history exam?
B: I think I blew it! There was a section on the Civil War, and that's the chapter in the book that I studied the least.
A: Well, at this point you can't really be sure that you completely failed the examination. You must have done okay on the rest of the test.
B: Perhaps I didn't fail the entire exam, but I'm sure that I didn't do well.
7. On the Line = in danger of being lost
象在踩鋼絲一樣,岌岌可危.

Lately Tom's been more conscientious about the accuracy and quality of his work with the company. He was warned that his job was on the line because of his lack of concern for his duties. When Tom was alerted that he was in danger of losing his job, he began to take his obligations with the company more seriously.
