Foot Idioms
有关“脚丫子”的实用成语

Hello, I'm a very interesting and intelligent man. And today, these feet—ugh!—and I will be teaching you some English idioms. I bet you've never been taught by some feet before.
哈萝，我是个非常风趣又聪明的男人。今天，这些脚－－恶!－－还有我要来教你一些英文成语。我敢说你从没被脚教过。
Ahh...the world! One day, I'd like to visit the world. You see, I haven't left this room since... Actually, I've never left this room. Oh, but I'd love to travel! Ahhhh!!! That's right! I've got itchy feet. In English, if you have a strong feeling that you'd like to travel, we say, "I've got itchy feet." I've got itchy feet. Well, maybe I should wash them more often.
啊...世界!有朝一日，我要去看看这世界。你知道，我从没离开过这间房间，自从... 事实上，我从没离开过这间房间。噢，但我很乐意去旅行!啊啊啊啊!!!没错!我好想去旅行啊。英文中，如果你有想去旅行的强烈渴望，我们会说：“我好想去旅行。”我脚好痒好想去旅行。这个嘛，也许我应该要更常洗脚。

I did try to leave this room once. I planned to visit my dream country—Belgium! But, I suddenly became too frightened to do it. That's right. I got cold feet. In English, if we make a plan but then decide not to do it because we are too nervous, we say, "I got cold feet." I got cold feet. Well, perhaps I should buy some socks.
我是有试过一次要离开这房间。我计划要去拜访我的梦想国度－－比利时!不过，我突然怕到不敢去实践。没错。我退缩了。英文中，如果我们订了个计划但后来因为太紧张而决定不去做，我们会说：“我退缩了。”我脚冻僵动不了。嗯，或许我该买些袜子。

Okay, friends, a word of advice: Never play with guns! Ahhh!!! Otherwise, you could shoot yourself in the foot! In English, if you do something that ruins a situation for you, we say, "I shot myself in the foot." I shot myself in the foot. Like that time I ran a marathon. Instead of drinking water, I drank beer! I was completely useless! I could hardly run in a straight line!
好了，朋友们，一个忠告：不要玩枪!啊啊啊啊!!!不然的话，你有可能会拿石头砸自己脚!英文中，如果你做了件替自己找麻烦的事，我们说：“我拿石头砸自己脚。”我拿石头砸自己脚。就像那次我跑马拉松。我不是喝水，我喝了啤酒!我整个人超逊的!我几乎没办法跑直线!
Hang on! Hey, hey, wait for me! Wait, come back! Come back! Come back! I'll wait for ya... I'll... I'll...
等等啊!嘿、嘿，等等我啊!等一下，回来!回来!回来!我会等你... 我会... 我会...
