網(wǎng)羅天下新鮮、好玩、有趣、時(shí)尚的英語表達(dá)，盡在可可英語獨(dú)家專欄節(jié)目"E聊吧"。
本期節(jié)目的topic:鼻子都?xì)馔崂?/strong>
His nose is out of joint for not being invited.
他沒受到邀請(qǐng)，鼻子都?xì)馔崃恕?/div>
講解:名詞joint最原始的來源，就是指兩樣或多樣?xùn)|西的連結(jié)處。片語out of joint如果用來描述人，意思是脫節(jié)，脫臼。“鼻子脫臼”是個(gè)夸張的說法，等同于中文里“鼻子都?xì)馔崃?rdquo;之類的說法，很生動(dòng)，很形象。
【范例一】
Joe's mother put his nose out of joint by not letting him go to the movies.
喬的母親不讓他去看電影，這使他很掃興。
【范例二】The Council have refused permission for him to build a factory there. That will pat his nose out of joint.
地方議會(huì)拒不批準(zhǔn)他在那里蓋工廠。這將使他的計(jì)劃落空。
【范例三】Peter, her assistant for many years, is to be promoted over her head. That will certainly put her nose out of joint.
彼得做了她助手多年，現(xiàn)在快要升級(jí)做她上司了，她一定挫敗感十足。
