介绍:
Shirt 衬衫
White-collar workers in the office usually work in their suits. But on hot days many of them work in their shirtsleeves. That is to say, they wear not jackets over their shirts.
Now look at this dialogue： “What's new with John ，Bob? ”“I'm afraid he wasn't doing well recently. I was told he lost his shirt at the races. ”
At first glance you may think that Bob makes a fuss about a trifle.：a shirt isn't worth much money after all. But in fact Bob means that John had lost a great deal of money at the races. Almost every gambler ends up losing his shirt.，so never gamble.
在办公室工作的白领职员通常穿整套服装，但大热天的时候，他们许多人也只穿衬衫工作，也就是说在衬衫之上他们没有穿外衣（夹克衫）。
现在看看下面的对话：
“Bob，John怎么了？”
“恐怕他最近不大妙，我听说he lost his shirt at the races。”
乍看起来你可能会这样想，Bob大惊小怪，一件衬衫毕竟不值多少钱。但事实上，Bob要说的是，John在赌赛马中输掉了很多很多的钱。赌徒都是以输光老本而告终的，可千万别去赌博。
