地道表達

be as true as steel

1 .解詞釋義

Steel的本意是“鋼”，鋼鐵有穩定，堅硬的性質。我們經常聽到“鐵一般的事實，鐵一般的證據”等。As true as steel的字面意思是“和鐵一樣真實”，意思即：千真萬確，絕對可靠，忠實可靠。它既可以用來形容人“忠實可靠”，又可以用來形容事情“真實可靠”。

2. 拓展范例

e. g. He is one of my old friends and is as true as steel whatever happens.

他是我的一個老朋友，在任何情況下都是忠實可靠的。

e.g. Are you as true as steel to your joints at the hip and peas in a pod?

你對你的朋友們忠誠如鋼嗎?

e. g. The new is not the rumor, it is as true as steel.

這消息不是謠傳，絕對真實可靠。
