1. first class

▲杰過生日,歌洛莉亞竟然請了全家人陪同前去。

這里可以學(xué)到:

頭等艙 first class

經(jīng)濟(jì)艙 coach

當(dāng)然,經(jīng)濟(jì)艙也可以說economy class。

其實(shí)coach的意思有很多,最熟悉的應(yīng)該是“私人教師;輔導(dǎo)員;教練”,它還表示:

(客機(jī)上的)二等艙 [亦稱作 air coach]

[美國英語]【鐵路】(火車)普通旅客車廂;坐席客車(=day coach)

2. kiss up to

kiss up to的意思是“拍馬屁;討好”,這里英語君補(bǔ)充“拍馬屁”的多種表達(dá):

2. suck up??

She suck up to him by agree with everything he say.她巴結(jié)他,他說什么話她都同意。

3. out of?your?league

▲海莉讓艾利克斯看對面的帥哥,艾利克斯說那人跟海莉可不是一路人。(因?yàn)楹@驈牟豢磿。?/span>

league的意思是聯(lián)盟,同盟,be out of?your?league形容高不可攀,高不可及。

He was so?good-looking?and so?popular?that I?felt?he was out of my league.
他英俊瀟灑招人喜歡,我覺得自己配不上他。

4. be on the same wavelength

wavelength的本意是波長;(廣播之聲占用的)頻道,波段,be on the same wavelength用來比喻(兩人或多人)觀點(diǎn)相投,合得來。

I'm afraid we're still not on the?same?wavelength.
好像我們的想法還是不一致啊!
