對話精講

第一、地道短語

shot the cat

1 解詞釋義

改習語還可以做jerk and cat，指“飲酒過量而嘔吐”，cat在這里的意思是“來勢兇猛”。還有一個習語cats and dogs，意思是“傾盆大雨”cat在這里的意思也是“來勢兇猛”。

2 支持范例

He shoot the cat right after meal.

他剛吃完飯就吐了。

She hand drunk too muck and she got sick when she rode her private car on her way back home.

她在宴會上喝得太多了，然后感到不適，在回家的路上她開著車就吐了。

第二、詞海拾貝

turn a deaf ear：置若罔聞，裝作沒聽見，充耳不聽，置之不理

e.g.How could you turn a deaf ear to her requests for help?

你怎么能對她的請求幫助置之不理呢?

Why will you always turn a deaf ear to what I tell you?

我給你講的話，你怎么老當作耳邊風？

I didn't expect him to turn a deaf ear to his comrades' criticism.

我沒料想到他對同志們的批評竟充耳不聞。
