“熱鍋上的螞蟻”用來形容人們心里煩躁、焦急,坐立不安的樣子,指的是restless,unable to remain still(焦躁不安,靜不下來)。英文中也有一個古老的俗語用來形容這種緊張不安:好像熱磚上的貓(like a cat on hot bricks)。Hot bricks指的是“熱磚”,想想看,貓爬在熱磚上當然不能靜下來了。
例句:
她考駕駛執(zhí)照前十分緊張不安。
She was like a cat on hot bricks before her driving test.
帕特急如熱鍋上的螞蟻,因為貝蒂搶走了她男朋友的照片給同學傳看。
Pat was like a cat on hot bricks,for Betty had snatched her boyfriend's photo to pass it around the classroom.
