人体英语趣说之heel 脚跟，踵

heel 脚跟，踵 Everybody has heels. There is nothing special about it. But Achilles‘ heel is unusual because it refers to a person’s fatal weakness. So we can say “laziness his Achilles‘ heel”. When someone shows a clean pair of heels, is he showing off？Not at all. The phrase means “escape in a hurry”. If I shout “keep to heel ！”or “come to heel！” You must not follow me. I'm calling my dog to follow me closely. 每个人都有脚跟，没有任何特别的地方，但Achilles’ heel可就特别了，因为它所指的是一个人的致命弱点，所以我们可以说，“懒惰是他的致命弱点”（Achilles heel）。 当某人shows a clean pair of heels的时候，那他是不是在炫耀呢？不是的，那是溜之大吉的意思，要是我喊keep to hell！或come to heel！你可别听我的，我是在叫我的狗紧紧跟上我。
