Don’t be such an old stick in the mud. What a stick-in-the-mud!(保

人。 看下面的例句：Maybe you want to try out the big new slide at

the water park but your friend isn't sure. You might say: "Come

on! Don't be an old stick in the mud!" （你可能想要在水上乐园尝

试新的大型滑水道，你朋友却举棋不定，你就可以说：“来嘛，别当

A back-up plan 原来的计划搁浅后的备选方案

　　人们在谈生意时常常提起，相当于contingency plan（临时改变

易理解。有趣的是，很少有人说plan A，很多人用plan B这个词。

　　请看例句： “There isn’t a plan B,” said Henderson. “Absent

support, frankly, the company just can’t fund its operations.” “就不

存在其它方案，”亨德森说。“没有救援，坦白说，公司没钱运营下去

了。” The best advice Brady said is to devise a plan B. 布拉迪给出

的最好建议就是准备一套备选方案。

all the disadvantages of every situation 各种情况的所有不利因素

I make big money.

I certainly don’t want you to think I would… 我当然不想让你认为我

会…

The phrase is now a common American expression meaning that

some mechanism is malfunctioning or broken: “The washing

machine’s on the fritz again” (the British and Australian equivalent

would be on the blink). However, when it first appeared — about

1902 — it meant that something was in a bad way or bad

condition. Early recorded examples refer to the poor state of some

domestic affairs, the lack of success of a stage show, and an

injured leg — not a machine or device in sight.

要是说什么东西on the fritz, 意思就是"出了毛病，不能正常工作了"

。

提及，暗示，附注

extremely happy 高兴得不得了

Cloud nine 从来不会想到"无比幸福"的状态可以说成on cloud nine。

Cloud nine，"9号云"，怎么和"狂喜、高兴"联系起来的呢？这背后可

有一个很有趣的小故事。 据说，cloud nine 是美国气象服务中的一

个术语。在气象服务中，各种不同的云系都有各自的数字代号，

如，1号云系、2号云系。那么9号云系是哪种云呢？9号云系是一种

叫做"积雨云"的特定代号。而"积雨云"的位置最高，因此，cloud

nine就成了"处在世界顶峰"的形象代名词，用来形容一种"情绪高涨"

的状态，和现在十分流行的"High"差不多。 来看一个例子：He was

on cloud nine after winning the marathon.（他赢了马拉松比赛之

后，极度兴奋。）

if someone will not take no for an answer, they continue asking for

something although their request has already been refused 如果有

人说他will not take no for an answer，他的意思是，即便他的要求

已经遭到拒绝，他还是会继续提出要求。（字面意思：不把别人说

的NO当做别人的一种回答。）

I've told her again and again that you're too busy to see her, but

she won't take no for an answer.

我已经反复跟她说了，你太忙，没法见她，但她还是死缠烂打。

Now, you must drop over and see us tomorrow. We won't take no

for an answer.

你明天必须来见我们。我们不达目的，誓不罢休。

I had to go to their party. They just wouldn't take no for an answer.

我只好去参加他们的聚会。他们就是死皮赖脸。

有什么大不了，有什么了不起

（used for emphasis） one hell of a party 好热闹的派对

thing that seems unfortunate, but is later seen to be fortunate 伪装

的福气；祸中藏福

on cloud nine

not take no for an answer

What the hell.

one hell of a…

a blessing in disguise
