介绍:
1. cup of tea喜爱的人或事

2.pull one’s leg拿某人开玩笑
They have just been pulling our legs.他们是跟我们开玩笑
Hey, stop pulling my leg, will you!喂，你别逗我了，行不行！
Shake a leg赶紧行动，快点，相当于Hurry up!
3.save one’s breath不必白费唇舌
You can save your breath: you can never persuade her.
Save your breath, the boss will never give you the day off.省点口舌吧，老板不会给你一天假的。
4. humiliate（动词）“羞辱 让人蒙羞”。可以将单词分解记忆humiliate=hum + ili+ ate. Hum-作为词根是泥土的意思,（human人，据说是上帝用泥土造人；humid潮湿的，靠近地面最潮湿，humble谦卑的，和泥土最近的农民最谦卑等等）il是in的变体表示into,-ate这里是动词的后缀，(create，operate, celebrate,等),因此整个词指的是“让人像钻到地下去”，真是够让人丢脸的。
【humiliate】Humiliating on so many levels丢脸丢到家了(humiliating丢脸的)
It was so humiliating, a terrible blow to my self-esteem.
I am not going to be humiliated in front of the entire neighborhood.我不想在大家面前丢脸。
