我们中国人说的“扫帚星”其实是个比喻，通常指不吉利的人或物。其实“扫帚星”指的是“彗星”。在英语中没有对应的比喻义的翻译，不能译为“comet”，应该是jinx。
例如：I've heard of her. She's said to be a jinx, who would bring bad luck to whoever she marries.
我听说过她，有人说她是个扫帚星，谁跟她结婚都会倒霉。

[color=#008000]7.You're still wet behind the ears. [/color]
你还嫩点儿。
Wet behind the ears如果直译: 耳朵背后是潮的。这个习惯用语流行至今差不多有一个世纪了。它可能来自这样的说法: 小马、小牛刚生下来的时候全身湿漉漉的；别的地方很快会干，但是耳朵背后却还是湿的。所以说某人耳朵背后是潮的，是把这人比作刚生下不久的婴儿了。
换句话说就是他简直像新生儿一般幼稚无知。

他太年轻了，不能担此重任。
