英语里入和描述别人"装X"(在线收听

   明明有一颗再真实不过的内心,却偏偏要把它隐藏起来。生活中有太多戴了面具的人,你能将他们一一识破吗?英文又有哪些表达可以帮你拆穿他们?

  1. 装无辜
  Butter wouldn’t melt (in sb's mouth)
  黄油含在嘴里不会化?如果这样理解你就太天真了。这个俗语的意思是指“假装天真”“看着老实其实不是”。
  例:-He looks so innocent.
  他看着很无辜。
  -Yes, butter wouldn't melt, I'm sure.
  是啊,肯定是装的。
  2. 装有范
  Put on airs
  总是显得高人一等,故意摆架子,装腔作势,英文里是这样说的。
  例:Some of her old friends have accused her of putting on airs since she became wealthy.
  她的一些老朋友都指责她发财以后就开始摆架子了。
  3. 装糊涂
  Play dumb
  Dumb意指“不能说话的”、“愚笨的”。Play dumb就是“假装愚笨”“装聋作哑”,总之有想法但不告诉你,揣着明白装糊涂。
  例:Jenny knew where the sweets were but was playing dumb to tease her little brother.
  詹妮知道糖放在哪儿了,但她故意装傻逗她的弟弟。
  4. 装嫩
  Mutton dressed as lamb
  虽然上了岁数但是还是爱把自己往年轻了捯饬,英文形容这样的女性就是“装嫩”。
  例:She's far too old for that - she looks like mutton dressed as lamb.
  她岁数太大了,这么打扮跟她年龄不符,明显就是老黄瓜耍绿漆装嫩。
  5. 装厉害
  All bark and no bite
  只见嚷嚷不见咬人,如果这是在形容汪星人,那它一定是虚张声势,光说不练~
  例:John talks big about how much money he'll make someday, but he's all bark and no bite.
  约翰总是说有一天他会赚大钱,但是只见他说没见他做啊~
