throw a hissy fit
To be bad-tempered and unreasonable.
She threw a hissy fit because her dressing room wasn't painted blue.
大家注意,这里面有那种“无理取闹”的赶脚,还有一个短语throw a fit, 它是very shocked, upset或者angry的意思,例如:
Your mother would have a fit if she knew you’d been drinking!
walk in on somebody/something
To enter a room when somebody in there is doing something private and does not expect you.
就是“推门撞见某人在做一些比较隐私的事情”。所以,要记得锁门……
stick to your guns
To refuse to change your mind about something even when other people are trying to persuade you that you are wrong.
就是“坚定立场”,打死也不改!
open up to somebody
To talk about what you feel and think; to become less shy and more willing to communicate.
“敞开心扉”,应该就是这么翻译了吧!
It helps to discuss your problems but I find it hard to open up.
blow somebody off
To deliberately not meet somebody when you said you would; to end a romantic relationship with somebody.
Deliberately就是“故意地”。看剧,在语境下就不难理解了吧。
OK,看下一集之前,快把今天的内容好好复习,关键的是,要用起来哦!
