为了更多的了解国外文化,读书人编辑整理了一些资料供大家参考:

  Good lenses, bad frames

  人不可貌相

  Describing someone who gives a bad first impression but is actually a good person. Someone who doesn't appear to be competent, yet is extremely capable at what he/she does。

  形容一个给人的第一印象极差、但本质很好的人,或者指表面看不出来,实则深藏不露的高手。

  例句:Dr. Bruce is a spaz, but he's one of the best doctors I know. You wouldn't know it by looking at him...good lenses, bad frames。

  Mid-day crisis

  午间危机

  When one is in a desperate need for a siesta because they become extremely tired in the afternoon and coffee isn't cutting it any longer。

  指急需午睡以补充体力的情况,这种时候通常咖啡已经不管用了。

  例句:After that wild night of drinking, I had the worst mid-day crisis ever。

  Clock Out With My Cock Out

  下班high去喽

  To "call it a day" at work so you can go party。

  下班之后去派对狂欢(clock out即打卡下班,也可以说punch out)

  例句:-Hey, dude, you coming to happy hour?

  -Hells yeah! It's time to clock out with my cock out!

  Nearsighted Date

  “近视”相亲

  Asopposed to a blind date, where you have no idea what the other personlooks like, a nearsighted date is one where you've seen a photo orchatted via web before meeting in person。

  与blind date(事先一无所知的相亲)相对,指在相亲前看过对方的照片或者网聊过。

  This can often lead to disappointment if one person or the other has supplied misleading documentation。
