美国的成语和俗语就可以反应出人们很讨厌那些生活在我们周围的小虫子。今天我们来向大家解释两个成语,都是和小虫子有关的。我们要讲的第一个俗语是 ants in your pants。 Ants就是蚂蚁,pants 就是裤子。蚂蚁钻进了裤子,你可以想象是个什么滋味了。你肯定坐不住了。 Ants in your pants这个俗语的意思就是一个人很紧张,坐立不安。我们来举个例子吧:
例句-1: The company financial report isn't due until next Friday. But the boss has ants in his pants and wants us to have it all ready for him on Tuesday morning.
例句-2: Say, what happened to the order for table seven? The guy's been waiting for a half hour and he's really getting ants in his pants for the cheeseburger and fries he ordered.
