34.To my joy, my son knows a thing or two about Italian.
误译：使我高兴的是，我儿子对意大利语也略知一二。
应译为：使我高兴的是，我儿子对意大利语还很精通哩。
”know a thing or two”其实是指”to have practical and useful information gained from experience”，不是“略知一二”，而是“非常熟悉，了如指掌”。
35. His speech was given a warm reception by the crowd.
误译：他的讲话受到了群众的热烈欢迎。
应译为：他的讲话受到群众的热烈反对。
“be given a warm reception”是句反语，含义为”be attacked violently in words”。如将其直译，这句话的意思就弄反了。另一个习语”give somebody a warm time”，用法与此相同。意为”make somebody embarrassed”。
36.When do you hope to start a family?
误译：你希望什么时候成家呢？
应译为：你希望什么时候生第一个孩子呢？
“start a family”不是“成家“，而是”give birth to the first child”。
37.It is a good athlete that never loses points.
误译：从不丢分的运动员才是优秀的运动员。
应译为：再好的运动员也会丢分。
这里，“It is a adj.+n. that+否定句“是个习语中常出现的句型，应理解为”even if …+adj.，肯定句，即”再……的，也会……”。而与此结构相似的强调句型中，一般没有形容词。
38.I can’t see you quickly enough.
误译：我不可很快见到你。
应译为：我巴不得尽快与你见面。
“can‘t…+adj./adv.+enough”，意思是“越……越好。
39.She is old but still able.
她虽老但仍然很能干。
Able adj. 能，会；有才能的。再如He is an able man. 他是一个能人。
40.The press give the new film the thumbs down.
报纸对这部新电影评价很低。观看角斗士在竞技场生死拼杀是古罗马的娱乐项目之一。比武结束后，由观众裁判如何处置被击败的角斗士。如果观众的大拇指向上（thumbs up）就释放失败者；如果观众拇指向下（thumbs down）就处死失败者。如今，人们用thumbs up表示赞成，用thumbs down表示反对。
例句：The government's plan has got the thumbs up from the public.
政府的计划得到了公众的赞许。
41.This is a dangerous and violent city. In some parts of it, the only law
is the law of the jungle.
误译：这是一个危险的充满暴力的城市。在有些地方，唯一的原则就是森林法则。
应译为：这是一个危险的充满暴力的城市。在有些地方，唯一的原则就是弱肉强食。
这里“the law of the jungle”引申为”principle for surviving in a violent
and dangerous situation, no rules at all”,如译为“森林法则“，则含义不
明。”弱肉强食“才是准确、明了地传达了原文所要表达的意义。
42. To my joy, my son knows a thing or two about Italian.
误译：使我高兴的是，我儿子对意大利语也略知一二。
应译为：使我高兴的是，我儿子对意大利语还很精通哩。
”know a thing or two”其实是指”to have practical and useful information gained from experience”，不是“略知一二”，而是“非常熟悉，了如指掌”。
43.They promised to pay me yesterday, but they are dragging their feet.
◆drag one's feet
字面词义：拖住脚。

例句
1、She could not drag her feet another step.

2、Otherwise, some departments might drag their feet in participating.

3、Perhaps every profession has got its black sheep.

45.They held a party last night and everything was at sixes and sevens when the guests left.
昨晚他们开了一个家庭聚会。当客人散尽之后，一切物品都挪了位置。
at sixes and sevens 的英文释义为：not in order; in confusion; in a mess, 和汉语中的“七零八落”、“乱七八糟”意同。
另外，在具体的上下文中，该片语的实际含意也有所变化。例如：
After the captain of the team broke his leg, the other players were at sixes and sevens. 球队队长摔断了腿，其他队员陷入了一片混乱。
The members couldn't come to an agreement. They were at sixes and sevens.
委员们不能达成一致意见。他们各持己见。
46.His health condition is bound to affect his work.
他的病况一定会影响他的工作。
be bound to指一定，必定，免不了。
又如：His laziness is bound to result in his failure.
他的懒惰注定导致他的失败。
47.My friend Jack likes to watch horror movies. But to me they seem to be all the same. There is always somebody coming to rescue the good guys in the nick of time.
In the nick of time 最后一刻
我的朋友杰克喜欢看恐怖电影。可是，在我看来，它们似乎都是千篇一律。每到最后一刻，总是有人会来解救好人的。
48.Back in school we made fun of Jones because we thought he spent too much time studying instead of having fun. Now the shoe is on the other foot -- he's made lots of money and the rest of us are just barely making enough to feed our families."
The shoe is on the other foot的意思是：形势已经完全不同了。
以前在学校里念书的时候，我们老是笑话琼斯，认为他这个人老是念书，不会玩。可是，现在情况就完全不同了。他赚了不少钱，而我们这些人的收入只够维持家计而已。
49.knock one's socks off:使…震惊

The latest government taxes knocked everyone's socks off.最近的政府税收令人惊讶。
50.Severe snowstorms wreaked havoc on traffic.严重的暴风雪使交通瘫痪。
《纽约时报》描述中国雪灾的一句话。动词wreak，本意是“发泄（怒火）”，这里使用的是引申的意思“带来，引起（灾难）”。名词havoc，就相当于中文里“浩劫”，一般用来指大的灾难。由于wreak havoc这个动宾搭配经常在形容天灾人祸的文章中出现，所以可以一起记忆。

"你是说你在找那个法国面包店吗？往北走过两条街，然后向左转，你就会闻到那烤面包的香味。随着香味走就会把你带到那面包店的门口了。"
"Follow your nose"在这句句子里着重的是嗅觉，而不是方向。
69.My brother Bob borrowed the money to open his restaurant five years ago when the interest rate was so high, so he's been paying through the nose ever since.
我哥哥在五年前借钱开他那个饭馆的时候正好利率非常高。所以,他从那时起就一直在大笔大笔地还债。

72.There is a skeleton in the cupboard. 家丑不可外扬。
句子的原意是，壁橱中有架骷髅
据说，当年这个习语产生的时候，指的是那些有钱人家谋杀了一个人，把骸骨暗藏在壁橱中，不让外人知道。从此 skeleton in the closet 就成了那家人的秘密。后来这个短语用来指不可或不愿外扬的家丑，简称作family skeleton。现在，这个句子还有个转义：家家有本难念的经。
例如：Many old families have a number of skeletons in their closets which they are loath to discuss.
许多古老的家族中有很多秘密，他们不愿谈及这些话题
73.He is wearing two hats. 他身兼两职。
