英語口語練習(xí)小對話 第194期:勃然大怒

迷你對話：
A: Mum, Mark proposed today.
媽媽，今天Mark向我求婚了。
B: Mark? That Christian? You didn’t accept it, did you?
Mark? 那個基督教徒?你沒答應(yīng)她，對吧?
A: Yes, I did. I love him, Mum. And he doesn’t mind getting married in our church.
是的，我沒答應(yīng)，但是我愛他。他不介意在我們的教堂舉行婚禮。
B: Oh, silly girl! I can almost see your father hitting the roof .
真是個傻姑娘!我能想象得出你爸爸暴跳如雷的樣子。
地道表達：
hit the roof
解詞釋義：
roof本意是“屋頂”，引申為“頂點”，hit the roof意為“到達頂點”。在美國俚語中，用它來表示“勃然大怒，暴跳如雷”的意思。
支持范例：
Your father's gonna hit the roof when he sees what you did to his car!
你父親在看見你對他的車都干了些什么的時候，會暴跳如雷的。
That was a close call. I'm lucky she didn't see me. She would have really hit the roof.
真危險啊。好在她沒看見我。不然，她非火冒三丈不可。
My mother hit the roof when she saw my grades.
媽媽看到我的成績之后大發(fā)雷霆。
詞海拾貝：
mind doing something：介意做某事
Eg. Would you mind helping me?
請幫幫我的忙好嗎?
Eg. Do you mind closing the window?
我關(guān)上窗戶行嗎?
