lull
这个单词作为名词,指的是a quiet period between times of activity. 很常见的搭配就是,a lull in the conversation (冷场). 还有我们经常说的“暴风雨前的宁静”就是the lull before the storm.
something never gets old
这个短语表示you like something very much and you never get sick of it. 就是说你特别喜欢某个东西,无论看过听过多少遍都不会觉得厌烦。比如:I love Taylor a lot, her music never gets old. 我大爱Taylor,她的歌真是百听不厌。
与之相反,get old指的就是“由于反复的重复而变得枯燥无味”, 比如:I can’t believe you’ve listened to this song over a hundred times! It’s getting old!
be cut out for something/be cut out to be something
这个表达指的是to have the qualities and abilities needed for something. 比如说:He’s not cut out for teaching. = He’s not cut out to be a teacher.
