Pay the bill
burst
completely
thoroughly
Every language has its own unique idioms and proverbs. However, people who learn foreign languages often have some feelings when they understand these idioms.
It's hard to get there. This is because you can't literally understand the meaning of an idiom.
For example, Americans often say, "Give me a hand." Literally, "help me" means.
"Give me a hand." However, it means "give me a hand"
Another example is: "Pay the bill."
"Foot" means "one foot", and "Bill" is interpreted as "Bill" here. "The foot.
Bill. "It doesn't mean to step on the bill, it means to pay the bill.
In addition, sometimes, a word has several explanations. Take the following sentence as an example:
Example: 1: "Two hours later, we arrived at Charlie's restaurant.
Because our car has a flat tire. "
In this sentence, the first puncture refers to a large party, and the second puncture refers to a car with a flat tire.
We arrived at Charlie's birthday party two hours late because of a flat tire.
I will. "
Some idioms have the same meaning in the dictionary, but they are used in different occasions.
The following two idioms are good examples.
One is "lock, stock and barrel", and the other is "hook, line and sinking".
Lock, stock and bucket and hook, line and sinker all have the same meaning, but their usage is different.
Let's start with an example of locks, stocks and barrels:
Ex. 2: "Mr Rockefeller is in charge of the whole oil company.
Barrel. "
Mr Rockefeller bought the whole oil company. In other words, he bought it.
Buildings, oil wells and other assets belonging to the oil company.
Hook, thread and sinder have the same meaning as lock, stock and bucket, but they also
With the meaning of being cheated. For example:
-4: "I warned Sally not to believe that man's story about how rich he was.
Used to be, but she completely swallowed it. After she married him,
She found that he owed money to everyone in the office. "
I told Sally not to believe what that man said about how rich he was. But Sally didn't.
Have doubts about him. It was not until I got married that I found out that this person borrowed money from almost every colleague. "
Just now we explained some problems that we often encounter in the process of learning English. Some idioms cannot be taken literally.
Their exact meanings, such as: give me a hand and pay the bill. There are some idioms that are different.
Scenes express different meanings, such as blow out. There are also some proverbs that have the same explanation in the dictionary, but
Yes, but it has different uses, such as locks, stocks and barrels and hooks, lines and sinks.
Say two common sayings about eating. The first one is "small restaurant"
Greasy means greasy, and spoon means spoon, which is spoon. The words greasy and spoon together are
It refers to those small restaurants that are a bit like a couple's shop. Generally speaking, there are not many kinds of colors on the menu of these small restaurants.
The food is not so clean and the decoration is not exquisite, but it tastes good and the price is reasonable.
For example. This is a husband talking to his wife:
Example-1: "Honey, let me take you out for dinner. But you know, I don't think so.
Like dressing up and going to some fancy place. How about just walking along this street
Go to a small restaurant to eat hamburgers. "
The husband said, "Honey, let me take you out for dinner." However, I really don't want to go to those places dressed respectfully.
Big restaurant. Let's go to that small restaurant at the end of the street and have hamburgers, shall we? "
Let's give another example. This is a man talking to a friend:
Example -2: "Mike, you have to go to that little restaurant in China and try their potstickers.
It's on new york Avenue. It looks like a cheap restaurant, but their pot stickers are very cheap.
Great, and the price is cheap. "
He said, "Mike, you have to try their potstickers at that little China restaurant on new york Street. That restaurant doesn't look decent
But their potstickers are delicious and cheap. "
Let's talk about the second idiom related to eating: homely meals.
A pot is a pot, and luck is luck. However, what we are talking about now is just one word. homely food
As a word, it refers to a form of gathering that is often held in America. That is, at the suggestion of one person or several people.
There will be a luncheon or dinner next week, but everyone attending the party should bring a dish or a dessert.
Eat it. In addition to providing a venue for the party, the host only needs to prepare a dish or buy some drinks. This is called:
"Homecooked lunch" or "Homecooked dinner"
As you can imagine, when a home-cooked meal is held, everyone can taste many different foods. However, if you are unlucky,
If you don't like what several people bring, then you must go home and have something to eat in that small restaurant.
Yes Potluck has another meaning, that is, you can have whatever you want. When it comes to food, it becomes: What's there?
What do you mean by eating? For example, a man met an old friend whom he hadn't seen for years, and he said:
Example -3: "Hey, Charlie, if you have no plans tonight, why not?"
Come to our house and have a light meal with us. Helen has no time.
Cook any special dishes, but she can put an extra plate on the table.
You "
Above, we talked about some characteristics of American idioms and two idioms related to eating. One is
A small restaurant refers to a small restaurant with low price and good quality.
