小春俚語 | against the swim 不合群
本文章由春喜在線英語于2017.09.19日編輯發(fā)布
今天我們來學(xué)習(xí)這個俚語表達(dá):
against the swim
swim在這里是名詞，指的是往同一方向運(yùn)動的魚群或人群，against the swim這個短語直譯是與一群魚作反向運(yùn)動，引申為逆流而行，不合群。
來看看這倆個句子：
1.When everyone voted John president of the Student Body, Jane was against the swim and voted for Sam. 當(dāng)大家都選John當(dāng)學(xué)生會主席時，Jane卻偏要逆大流選Sam. 2.None but a mad man would swim against the stream. 只有瘋子才會逆流而游.
