最近太忙,险些忘了我的粗俗英语课程,太不应该。
work one's ass off - 非常努力做什么事情
这个词组非常形象,一个人努力做什么事情的时候,很可能摇头摆尾,拼尽全力,浑身跟着使劲,或者说吃奶的劲都用上了,不小心用力过猛,屁股可能都跟着飞出去,哈哈哈。。。
例句:
我在美国餐馆打工、送外卖的时候,确实很辛苦,所以每次我都很和我的美国同学提起打工的时候,就会说:
I've been working my ass off delivering
food for the Chineese restaurant!
(为了给中国餐馆送外卖,我的屁股都累飞了!)
还有在念MBA的时候,经常熬夜读书,所以大家就互相抱怨。
I was working my ass off on that final paper.
I really worked my ass off on that team project because I did
all the work!!!
Hope you guys all enjoyed the expression! The best way to
improve is to use it! Just do it!!!
* Be healthy and happy!
