【字面理解】連某人跟亞當(dāng)都分不清

【英文解析】to have never met someone and not know anything about somebody

【中文解析】根本不認(rèn)識(shí)某人;與某人素不相識(shí)

【典型例句】① This man came into the office and he said that he knew ne. I didn’t know him from Adam, which was a bit embarrassing.這個(gè)人到辦公室里來(lái)，說(shuō)他認(rèn)識(shí)我， 可我一點(diǎn)兒都不認(rèn)識(shí)他，真是有點(diǎn)兒尷尬。

② Roger: Oh, just seems as though that maybe you have intimacy issues. You know, that you use your humor as a. way of keeping people at a distance.

Chandler: Huh.

Roger: I mean, hey, I just met you. I don’t know you from Adam. ...Only child, right? Parents divorced before you hit puberty?

Chandler: Uhhuh, how did you know that?

—Season 1 Episode 13, Friends

羅杰：看上去你好像在親密行為方面有問(wèn)題。你知 道，你通過(guò)你的幽默來(lái)與人保持距離。

錢德勒：呃……

羅杰：我是說(shuō)，嘿，我剛認(rèn)識(shí)你，對(duì)你一無(wú)所知。…… 獨(dú)生子，對(duì)吧?青春期前父母就離婚了?

錢德勒：你怎么知道?

——《好友記》第1季第13集

【注釋】源自《圣經(jīng)創(chuàng)世紀(jì)》，亞當(dāng)并非女人所生，所以沒(méi)有肚擠，是最容易辨認(rèn)的人，因此not know somebody from Adam就表示“完全不認(rèn)識(shí)某人”。
