迷你对话：

A: My hair stood on end when I saw the bloody scene.

当我看到血淋淋的场面时我极度恐惧。

B: What scene?

什么场面？

A: A kitten being run over by a truck.

一只小猫被卡车碾死了。

地道表达：

hair stand on end

解词释义：

该成语源于《圣经》。在《圣经》第14节和第15节中有恐惧使我浑身颤抖，身上的毛发都竖起来了。（Fear came upon and trembling... and the hair of my fresh stood up.）以此来形容一个人极度恐惧的感觉，与汉语中的毛骨悚然的语义相同。

支持范例：

What I pay would make your hair stand on end.

我所付的钱会使你吓一跳。

The sight of the dead man made his hair stand on end.

看到死人吓得他毛骨悚然。

She says that it makes her hair stand on end when she ooks down at hundreds of feet of empty air.

她说当她在数百英尺高处朝下望时，只见脚下空荡荡的，吓得她胆战心惊。
