【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 a phrase that they39。ve never heard of.With that in mind, here are five mon English idioms that you can use in a variety of Situations.⒈Get your act together (Meaning: you need to improve your behaviour/work) This might be something your teacher says to you if you score badly in an exam or if you misbehave in class. You can also use it to talk about people in general. For example, if your friend is being mean or nasty for no reason, then you can tell them that they need to get their act together.⒉Pull yourself together (Meaning: calm down) This is a somewhat impolite way of telling someone that they are overreacting and that they need to relax. Only use this if you think the person you are speaking to is getting upset over something insignificant. If your friend tells you that their close relative has died, it is NOT the time to tell them to pull themselves together.⒊I39。m feeling under the weather (Meaning: I39。m sick) Yes, it39。s longer and more difficult to say than 39。I39。m sick39。, but if your English teacher asks you why you haven39。t done your homework, he or she is more likely to forgive you if you say that you were feeling under the weather. You may not have done your English homework, but your teacher might be impressed that you know how to make eloquent excuses in a foreign language.⒋It39。s a piece of cake (Meaning: it39。s easy) I don39。t know why this means what it does, but sometimes you just have to accept that English people use weird phrases.⒌Break a leg (Meaning: good luck!) This is perhaps one of the most confusing yet wellknown English idioms. If someone says this to you, do not take offence or think they are threatening you。 they are just wishing you luck. It is most often used for people wishing success to actors and actresses before they perform on the stage, but it can be said in other situations, too. All in all, learning a new language can be challenging. It39。s definitely not a piece of cake, especially when there are so many confusing idioms. However, with enough hard work and interest, you will succeed in no time.
