小強英語 第111期:"as cool as a cucumber"是什麼意思?

泰然自若---as cool as a cucumber

Hello, everyone! 歡迎大家來到小強英語!這期我們來學習一個有趣的短語——"as cool as a cucumber". 大家可不要直接從字面上把它翻譯成“像黃瓜一樣涼爽”。“Cool”在這裏不是“涼爽的”之意,而是“鎮靜的、冷靜的”，所以這個短語形容非常冷靜，泰然自若（尤指在困難情況下）。If you are as cool as a cucumber, it means you are very calm and controlled, especially in a difficult situation.我們來看一下例句：

She kept as cool as a cucumber as the newspaper reporters shouted sharp questions at her.
當報社記者高聲向她提問尖銳的問題時,她表現得鎮定自若。

He is as cool as a cucumber upon the act of atrocity.
他面對暴行表現得冷靜沉着。

無論面對什麼困境，都不要驚慌失措。You should try to stay as cool as a cucumber".請大家好好記住這個有趣的短語吧！好了，本期的節目到此結束，我們下期再會。與小強互動，請關注新浪微博@小強英語！
