Cry baby 哭哭啼啼
大家都知道cry就是“哭”,baby就是“小娃娃”。顾名思义,你们肯定知道cry
baby的意思了。下面的例子又是一个人在劝他的朋友:
Come on, Jack, you're twenty years old--don't be such a cry
baby about everything. We all have our problems, but you ought
to do something about them instead of just complaining.
行啦,杰克,你已经二十岁了,别有点儿事就哭。我们大家都会碰到一些问题的。但是,你得想办法来解决问题,而不能老是抱怨。
许多人都怕去看牙大夫。但是,美国牙大夫一般都用麻药。为了保护牙齿,大夫经常安排病人每年清洗牙齿两次。下面是一个爸爸在说他的儿子:
Bill, don't be such a cry baby about going to the dentist: all
he's going to do is clean your teeth. Look at your little
sister--she's not making a fuss about it.
比尔,别为了去看牙就哭哭啼啼的。他只是替你洗洗牙而已。看看你的妹妹,她就没有这样大惊小怪的。
