Blind as a bat/ A beetle/ A mole/ An owl

From the Cut n Paste

人们以为蝙蝠，甲虫，鼠及猫头鹰都是夜间活动，必定是盲的。。。其实不然。可是，这样的假定就使我们比喻盲目的，或视力有困难者为 “Blind as a bat/ A beetle/ A mole/ An owl了。”

Example

People assume that because bats, beetles, moles and owls are active in the dark they must be blind...which they aren't. That assumption, though, has led to our saying that anyone who is blind or who has difficulty in seeing is blind as a bat/ a bettle/ a mole or an owl. " Without my glasses I'm blind as a bat."


For me

Get Hitched

From the Cut n Paste

Hitch 是扣住；套住的意思。“ Get Hitched" 是句很通俗的用语，意指结婚；这话来自将马儿套着马车走。

Example

Trevor and Janet have known each other since they were children. " You love me and i love you," Janet said one day. Isn't it time we got hitched?" Trevor resisted a little, but in the end he and Janet did get hitched. When people get hitched they get married.

For me

Wow~~~ sweet^^

In mint condition

From the Cut n Paste

Mint 是造币厂。刚出厂的钱币便说是  “In mint condition” ；引伸开来，凡崭新或似新的东西亦被形容为“ In mint condition”了。

Example

The coins in your purse or pocket are made in a place called a mint. New coins fresh from a mint are said to be in mint condition. So, too, is anything else that is in new or like-new condition. " Elmer seldom uses his car. It's ten years old but it's still in mint condition."

For me

Is that your Bible is in mint condition ?? :P

Bear up

From the Cut n Paste

" Bear up" 一用语并非形容一头凶狠的熊，是解作处于困难或烦扰的境况下，仍能坚忍不屈及鼓足勇气。

Example

Walking through a forest David encountered a bear in the path. " I can't hide so i 

must bear up and not be afraid." David said. Bear up he did, and in the end the bear turned and walked away. To bear up means to stay strong and brave in an annoying or difficult situation.

For me

                                            Why bear up ? Can ahlang up ? =.='' 

 p/s: Just kidding ^^                                                         

Do a stretch

From the Cut n Paste

俗语上， “ A stretch" 是指一个徒刑， “ Do a stretch" 便是坐牢服刑之意。

Example

Uncle willy is doing a stretch. For all know he may be doing a stretch for many years to come. Colloquially a stretch is a jail or prison sentence and to do a stretch is to spend time in jail or prison serving that sentence.

For me

Release me !! I am not the stretch....

i only eat cheeses cake last night without my sister permission >.<
