今天口语天天练的内容是:a pain in the neck
pain,疼痛,痛苦,neck,脖子。
a pain in the neck. 字面意思是脖子痛,其实是用来比如讨厌的人或事,令人厌烦的人或事。
我不想让你厌烦,但是我已经跟你说了很多次打扫你的房间了:
I don’t want to be a pain in the neck. But I have told you so many times to clean your room.
我希望Tom不要来,因为他太让人讨厌了:
I really hope Tom is not coming, because he is a pain in the neck.
