大家好,笨小孩广播学口语准时与大家相约,Andy 送上最诚挚的问候, good day, everyone !今天我们来学习的两个俚语是He is as rich as Croesus和It is over the top.

(过渡音乐)

我们先来看第一句俚语He is as rich as Croesus . Croesus是公元前六世纪小亚细亚吕底亚国极富的国王,rich是富有, as rich as Croesus,像Croesus一样富有,那就 是极富有的。 He is as rich as Croesus,就是他极其富有。
阿蕊总想嫁个有钱人,她向往那种挥金如土的生活,正巧一次晚宴上她结识了一位公认的 钻石王老五,大家都说:He is as rich as Croesus。(他极其富有。)
阿蕊开始接近他,并成了他的情人,可过了一段时间,她向朋友诉苦说:I thought he was as rich as Croesus, but later I found that was not the case.(我以为他很有钱,但后来发现情况并非如此。)

(过渡音乐)

下面我们来看第二句话It is over the top .Top是顶端,顶部,over the top,在顶端上面,那就是过了头了,它的意思就是过火或过头。 It is over the top,就是 这太过分了。
阿华和阿波一起去看电影,看完后两个人都觉得拍得不好。阿华说:The film’s violent ending is completely over the top.(影片结尾的暴力场面太过分了。) 阿波也认为很过分,并说:And I think the hero tends to go over the top.(而且我认为主角的表演很过火。)
大家做事一定要掌握一个度,过犹不及嘛。
