Donny 在北京學(xué)漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是吳瓊要問的：毛骨悚然。

Donny: 吳瓊，昨天的電影好不好看？

吳瓊: 別提了，講吸血鬼的，嚇?biāo)牢伊?。怎么說來著，I was scared to death!

Donny: I told you you would be scared to death and you didn't believe me.

吳瓊: 早知道聽你的就對了。特別是女主角被變成吸血鬼那段，簡直毛骨悚然，嚇得我汗毛都立起來了! 對了，美語里有類似的說法嗎？

Donny: Yeah. We say the scene made my hair stand on end.

吳瓊: hair, 是毛發(fā)，stand on end 立起來。連在一起，to make one's hair stand on end 嚇得人毛發(fā)都立起來了。所以要說那一幕嚇得我汗毛都立起來了，就可以講 the scene made my hair stand on end.

Donny: Right. Speaking of blood-sucking vampires, there is another way of saying you are scared to death. You can say it made my blood run cold.

吳瓊: blood 是血，cold 是寒冷。to make one's blood run cold 讓血都變冷了，也就是中文里說的嚇得我渾身冰涼吧？

Donny: Exactly. I am taking my girlfriend Rachel to see the movie tonight.

吳瓊: 什么？Rachel 不是特別膽小嗎？The movie will make her hair stand on end.

Donny: I know.... When she is scared to death, I will be there to comfort her. She will think I am her knight in shining armor.

吳瓊: 啊，你想讓 Rachel 覺得你是 her knight in shining armor 身穿閃亮盔甲的騎士？保護(hù)她的英雄？我看你啊，八成是別有用心。

Donny: (haha) 言歸正傳，還是說說你今天都學(xué)了什么吧!

吳瓊: 第一，嚇?biāo)懒耸?scared to death；

第二，嚇得毛發(fā)倒立是 to make one's hair stand on end；

第三：嚇得渾身冰涼是 to make one's blood run cold.
