Idioms: head and heart
Idioms use language metaphorically rather than literally. 'She put her foot in her mouth' means that she said something stupid and was embarrassed by it (the metaphorical meaning) not that she ate her toes (the literal meaning).
Idioms are also fixed groups of words so you can't change the wording of an idiom. For example, you can say 'They get on like a house on fire' to describe how much two people like each other but you can't say 'They get on like a hospital on fire'.
英語習(xí)語是英語語言文化中不容忽視的重要組成部分。英語習(xí)語折射著英語語言民族在地理、歷史、宗教信仰、生活習(xí)俗等方面豐富的文化信息和獨特的文化特色。準(zhǔn)確掌握英語中的習(xí)語, 能幫助我們深刻理解英語詞匯中的文化內(nèi)涵及文化差異, 從而更加準(zhǔn)確、傳神地使用英語。
