1 .解詞釋義
Steel的本意是“鋼”，鋼鐵有穩(wěn)定，堅(jiān)硬的性質(zhì)。我們經(jīng)常聽到“鐵一般的事實(shí)，鐵一般的證據(jù)”等。As true assteel的字面意思是“和鐵一樣真實(shí)”，意思即：千真萬確，絕對(duì)可靠，忠實(shí)可靠。它既可以用來形容人“忠實(shí)可靠”，又可以用來形容事情“真實(shí)可靠”。
2. 拓展范例
e. g. He is one of my old friends and is as true as steel whatever happens.
他是我的一個(gè)老朋友，在任何情況下都是忠實(shí)可靠的。
e.g. Are you as true as steel to your joints at the hip and peas in a pod?
你對(duì)你的朋友們忠誠(chéng)如鋼嗎?
e. g. The new is not the rumor, it is as true as steel.
這消息不是謠傳，絕對(duì)真實(shí)可靠。
