Morning Cheese English 069 20190410
Good morning, everyone! It's time for morning Cheese English.
今天的茄子早安英语和您分享的是wolf down sth.,由于 “狼 wolf” 在享用猎物的时候速度快,所以表达 “wolf down” 就用来形容人吃饭速度快,吃得也多,这也就和汉语里的 “狼吞虎咽”不谋而合。除了 “wolf down sth.” ,还可以说 “wolf sth. down”。
例句
Julian is so hungry after doing exercise in the evening that he always wolfs down his dinner.
赵彦晚上锻炼之后特别饿,所以吃饭总是狼吞虎咽的。
John says to Grace, 'Wow, that cake must have been good – you wolfed it down in seconds!'
佳阳和小雅说:“哇!那块蛋糕肯定好吃极了,你几秒钟就把它都吃掉了。”
