英语口语练习小对话 第554期:鲁莽冲动  

Subject：Don’t get off the deep end.,迷你对话,A:I got the bad grades last term. I should go and ask my teacher for a reason.,上学期我的分数很低，你得去让老师给我个理由。,B:Don’tgo off the deep end. You should work harder next term.,不要鲁莽冲动，下学期你应该更加努力学习。,1. 解释,Go off the deep end的意思是“不要鲁莽冲动”。其英文解释为： to act irrationally, following one's emotions or fantasies。,此语源于游泳。游泳池一段水深，一端水浅。如果一个人不知道水的深浅，从深水的一头跳入池子里，那他就跳进了没底的深水中。如果这个人又不识水性，就糟糕了。这样做事相当鲁莽冲动的。,2. 例句,e.g. Now, John, I know you really want to go to Australia, but don't go off the deep end. It isn't all perfect there.,John，现在我知道你真的很想去澳大利亚，但是不要鲁莽冲动，那里不是一切都如意的。,e.g. A friend of mine was about to go off the deep end when he felt he needed to talk to me.,我有个朋友在他脾气快要爆发时，觉得需要找我谈谈。
