地道表达

be as true as steel

1. 解词释义

Steel的本意是“钢”,钢铁有稳定,坚硬的性质。我们经常听到“铁一般的事实,铁一般的证据”等。As true as steel的字面意思是“和铁一样真实”,意思即:千真万确,绝对可靠,忠实可靠。它既可以用来形容人“忠实可靠”,又可以用来形容事情“真实可靠”。

2. 拓展范例

e. g. He is one of my old friends and is as true as steel whatever happens.

他是我的一个老朋友,在任何情况下都是忠实可靠的。

e.g. Are you as true as steel to friends?

你对你的朋友们忠诚如钢吗?

e. g. The new is not the rumor, it is as true as steel.

这消息不是谣传,绝对真实可靠。

Ps :考试第一名可以这样表述“Sb gets the highest mark.”
