Easy不简单:有关easy的趣味短语

[b]1. As easy as falling off a log 非常容易[/b]

如果你曾经试着在平放的圆木上行走,你就能理解这个词语的含义。从圆木上掉落下来比在上面行走容易得多。因而As easy as falling off a [color=#0000ff]log[/color]就被用来形容一项毫不费力的工作。

eg.  Dancing is as easy as falling off a log.  跳舞很容易。

[b]2. as easy as/like shooting fish in a barrel 像在桶里叉鱼那样简单;易如反掌[/b]

很难想象为什么有人会想在桶里叉鱼。但是,很明显,在桶里叉鱼比在河里容易多了。

eg:Jane's a good [color=#0000ff]mechanic[/color]. Changing a tire is like shooting fish in a [color=#0000ff]barrel[/color], for her.  简是个好技工。对她来说,换轮胎这样的事简直是易如反掌。

[b]3. Easy come, easy go 来的容易,去的容易[/b]

你可能中彩票得了一大笔钱,但是几天之内就挥霍一空,这就是来的容易,去的也容易。短语Easy come, easy go 说的就是这种现象。

eg:The learning of the bright student who acquires knowledge with ease and speed is felt to be [color=#0000ff]unstable[/color]; easy come, easy go.  聪明的学生学得又快又轻松,但他们学到的知识是不牢固的,容易获得也容易失去嘛。

[b]4. Easy Street 康庄大道,指生活富裕,舒适[/b]

当生活本身很惬意,你没啥牵挂也没啥麻烦,这就是说你走在Easy Street上。

eg:Joe lives on Easy Streetand can buy all the new things that make life easy.  乔过着逍遥自在的日子,买得起各种东西,生活很舒适。

[b]5. Easy touch 有求必应的人,容易说服的人[/b]

你的车坏了,如果必须借点钱来修车,你就应该找一个easy touch/soft touch,即一个有求必应的人。

eg:Why don't you ask Mrs. White to lend you the money–she's an easy touch.  怎么不向怀特太太借钱呢?她可是个有求必应的人。
