就像之前提到过的,有的习语你是猜不到它的寓意,又不能望文生义,如 fight tooth and nail,它不是打牙齿和指甲的意思,而是竭尽全力的意思,还有 kick the bucket,它在句中使用时,绝对不能翻译成“踢桶”,实际上它是跟生物去世有关系的,可以意为“死掉(了)”,寓意:

to die去死
to pass away逝去
to stop living停止生活
例如:
Have you heard? The old man down the street has kicked the bucket.你听说了吗?街上的那位老人死掉了。

经过长期的学习,积累了很多习语的用法,我相信肯定可以给你的英语加上涡轮增压,进步神速。
