你不一定知道的show短语

[i=s] 本帖最后由 davy10 于 2010-12-20 13:01 编辑 [/i]

Show的意思大家都明白,就是“展示”,也是大家熟知的“秀”。像show off(显摆)、show someone around(带某人游览、参观)这样的短语大家也一定不陌生。但是有些跟show有关的短语,不一定是字面上所表示的意思,多半都有深层寓意,今天我们就来看几个这样的短语。
[b]1. show one's true colors 露出了本来面目;原形毕露[/b]
I believe that he will [color=olive][b]show his true colors[/b][/color] someday.
我相信总有一天他会现出原形的。
[b]2. show someone the door 将某人赶出来;让某人离开[/b]
Dick was rude to my family and I simply [color=olive][b]showed him the door[/b][/color].
迪克对我家人无礼,所以我把他赶出去了。
