Don't throw a wet blanket on others at random!
不要随便给别人泼冷水!

美语俚语中,有一个固定的表达“a wet blanket”(湿毯子),意思是,使人扫兴的人或事。据说,这个俗语来源于火灾中,人们用湿毯子来扑灭火苗的习惯。相应的,词组throw a wet blanket on sth./sb.,表示“使扫兴,给泼冷水”。
例句:
Let's not invite Dick to the dance -- he is such a wet blanket with that sour look on his face and his boring talk.
我们开舞会可别请迪克,他那愁眉苦脸的样子,还老说那些没有人感兴趣的话,太扫兴了。 作者: 寄托天下 时间: 2007-9-2 01:14
