英語口語練習(xí)小對話 第195期:天堂樂園

迷你對話：
A: Didn’t you know that breaking into a house involves a lot of risk? Besides, the owner of the house has never done anything wrong to you. Why should you...
你難道不知道破門而入有危險嗎?況且房主也沒干什么對不住你的事情，你干嘛還要......
B: We only know that the owner is a fat cat. We thought we could build our own tower of happiness by robbing his hog heaven .
我們只是知道房主是個有錢的主兒。我們以為搶了他的錢就可以建立自己幸福的家園了。
A: So, you are now building your tower in the jail.
這樣，你把樂園建立到監(jiān)獄里了。
地道表達(dá)：
hog heaven
解詞釋義：
hog是“豬”，常給人以貪吃貪睡，貪圖享受的印象。豬的天堂就是一個讓人吃喝享樂的地方，通常含有貶義。意思是“天堂樂園”
拓展講解：
類似的習(xí)語還有 eat like a hog ，意思是“狼吞虎咽”。
支持范例：
She's in hog heaven over her new sports car.
她對自己的新雙座輕型汽車非常滿意。
The swimming pool is perfect on a hot day. I’m in a hog heaven!
大熱天在這個游泳池里泡著真是太舒服了，簡直是天堂般的享受啊!
