“笨手笨脚”怎么表达

来源:开心夏令营发布时间:2012-3-28 13:11:13

1. butter-fingers
  butterfingers是由两个字组成的,一个是butter。butter就是黄油,另一个字是:fingers。 fingers就是手指。黄油手指是什么意思呢?
  你想一想,要是你手上都是黄油,你会感到很油腻,很滑,要抓什么东西也抓不住。所以,美国人就把那些笨手笨脚,经常会拿不住东西,打破,或打坏东西的人称为butterfingers。在美国,你可能会听到人们说:
  例句-1: some americans are all butterfingers the first time they try to pick up and use asian chopsticks。
  有些美国人在第一次用亚洲人用的筷子的时候,都是笨手笨脚的。
  例句-2: pete's a hard worker. but he has a tough time holding a restaurant job. he's a real butterfingers and keeps spilling dishes when he brings an order to the table。
  pete是一个工作很努力的人。但是他很难持续他在饭馆的工作。在上菜的时候,他经常会把菜洒出来,真是笨手笨脚。
  2. all thumbs
  thumbs就是大拇指。你可以想象,要是一个人的两只手全是大拇指,那他还能干活吗?当然不行。
  例句-3: dick isn't very good using tools around the house. he's all thumbs: when he hammers a nail he's likely to end up hitting his finger instead. and you'd be shocked to hear the bad language he uses when that happens!
  dick在家里用工具干活是不太行的。他总是笨手笨脚,当他要敲一个钉子的时候,他往往会敲到他自己的手指上。把自己敲痛了,他就破口大骂,你听了真会吓一跳。
  例句-4: sheila won't let me help her clear the dishes after dinner any more after i dropped her favorite plate and broke it. now she tells our friends i'm all thumbs。
  上次我把sheila心爱的盘子打破后,她就不再让我吃完晚饭后洗碗了。她现在告诉我们的朋友我是多么的笨手笨脚。
  3. two left feet
  two left feet就是两只左脚。我们每个人都有一只右脚和一只左脚。要是一个人有两只左脚的话,那要走路,跑步和跳舞就很别扭了。下面这个例子就是一个人在说他学跳舞的情况。
  例句-5: in high school i had a hard time learning all the popular dance steps. at first, you know, i felt like i had two left feet. but i kept trying and these days my wife tells me she even enjoys taking a turn around the dance floor with me。
  念中学的时候,我学那些流行的舞步可真不容易。你知道吗,刚开始的时候,我觉得两只脚真别扭。但是,我不断练习,现在我太太告诉我她还挺高兴和我一起跳舞。
  例句-6: hey, what's the matter with you boots! i told you 'always start off on your left foot.' and watching you clowns stumble around, you've all got two left feet!
  嗨,你们这些新兵是怎么回事呀! 我告诉你们“总是左脚起步。”看你们东歪西倒的,真象小丑一样,你们的两只脚怎么那么别扭!
