1. Just what the doctor ordered!
乍一看還以為是哪位神醫(yī)開了良方,其實這句話跟“你有病,我有藥”一點關(guān)系也木有。它要表達的意思是“這正是我想要的!”“正合心意”,一般用于關(guān)于“健康”和“身體舒適度”的語境。例如:Ah, a long, cool, refreshing drink! Just what the doctor ordered! (哦, 一大杯清涼提神的飲料! 正是我想要的!)
2. Music to one's ears
音樂入耳,說明你很愛聽,這個短語的意思是“能讓你心情大好的消息”或“中聽的話”。例:Her words were music to my ears.(聽她這么說,我很高興。)
3. Hit the spot
Hit the spot意指“恰到好處”、“正合需要”,例如:This cool drink really hits the spot.(這杯冰飲真過癮!)另一個短語hit the high spot,雖然只多了一個high,但意思卻完全不同。它的意思是“概述要點”、“看重要的地方”,例如:There's only half an hour left, so I'll just hit the high spots. (只剩半小時了,那我就只概述一下要點。)
4. Hit the right note
表達說話做事很合時宜,可用hit the right note,如:Her proposal hit the right note with the company's new president.(她的新提案令公司的新總裁非常滿意。)反之,可用hit the wrong/sour note表達。
5. Read my mind
森森感覺TA有讀心術(shù),說出了你想說的話,或做了你想做的事兒。英文里可以用read one's mind表達。例如:
-How about a drink, then?
(去喝一杯怎么樣?)
-You read my mind.
(正合我意。)
