我们讲过以cry这个字为主的习惯用语。今天我们再给大家介绍一个和cry这个字有关的俗语: for crying out loud!
For crying out loud是不耐烦地、或者是厌烦地表示惊讶。我们要举的例子是一个怒气冲冲的爸爸在跟他儿子说话:
例句-1: For crying out loud, son! When are you going to do what I've told you and clean up your room! I just looked in there again and it's so messy I had to look twice to make sure your bed was still there under all that junk.
例句-2: For crying out loud! Jack took my tennis racket again. How many times have I told him I don't mind letting him use it, but he at least has to ask first in case I need it myself!
例句-3: You kids cool it and stop fighting right now! Not one single day goes by without fighting between the two of you. Can't you be more friendly to each other like Mike and Linda next door?
