開心學(xué)口語:我都要笑掉大牙了
I am laughing my head off.
我都要笑掉大牙了。
Scene
Jane: How was the performance last night?
Carrie: Great! It was really funny. We were laughing our heads off.
Notes
呵呵，看到這句話時(shí)你是否捏了一把汗？笑會(huì)掉腦袋嗎？^_^ 中文有笑掉大牙的表達(dá)，到了英語里頭為什么卻成了掉腦袋！ 因?yàn)橛⒚廊苏J(rèn)為，人笑時(shí)，頭在搖晃，前俯后仰地，頭都快掉下來了！所以， “l(fā)augh one's head off" 的意思實(shí)際是" laugh loudly "， 可譯為“笑掉了大牙”。
Exercises
現(xiàn)在來看看這些短語又是什么意思呢：
talk sb's head off
eat one's head off
cry one's head off
shout one's head off。
