　　第一，迷你對話

　　A: Oh, my God. I have forgotten what I need to buy.

　　哦，天啊，我忘記我需要買的東西了。

　　B: Do not worry. Just be as cool as a cucumber.

　　別急，鎮(zhèn)定點。

　　第二，核心短語

　　as cool as a cucumber

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　To be as cool as a cucumber的字面意思是“像黃瓜一樣涼爽”， 比喻為“鎮(zhèn)定，冷靜，泰然自若”的意思。表示一個遇到麻煩時很冷靜，很鎮(zhèn)定，很放松。Cool在這里的意思不是“涼爽”，是“冷靜的”的意思。使用時，表示對.....表現(xiàn)得冷靜，在短語后面用上介詞upon，即:be as cool as a cucumber uponsomething。

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. It's not everybody who can keep as cool as a cucumber in an emergency.

　　并不是人人都能在危急時刻保持鎮(zhèn)定自若的。

　　e.g. He is as cool as a cucumber upon every act of atrocity.

　　他面對一切暴行都表現(xiàn)得冷靜沉著。

　　e.g. He kept as cool as a cucumber as the newspaper reporters shouted questions at him atonce.

　　在報社記者七嘴八舌地高聲向他提問時,他始終表現(xiàn)得鎮(zhèn)定自若。
