[用法来源] Achilles,the hero of Homer’s Iliad,the son of Peleus and Thetis and slayer of Hector.The legend of Achilles has it that he was dipped into the river Styx by his mother in order to make him invulnerable.His heel wasn’t covered by the water and he was later killed by an arrow wound to his heel. [情景] Skit:From "the Simpsons": Homer :Mmmm...Forbidden donut! My one weakness ..my Achilles ’ heel!! Note:这里用forbidden来修饰donut,是要表达Homer对甜面包圈那种又爱又怕的感受。Homer太喜欢甜面包圈了，虽然它那么甜，会让他发胖，可是他实在割舍不下。， Bonus:在美国，警察们有个喜欢吃甜面包圈的名声。因此俚语Donut ranger指巡警。 例： Can you believe it?The donut ranger gave me a ticket for driving too slow! 巡警给我开了张罚单，说我开车太慢！， 2 .BOO 1.boo-boo:A boo-boo is a small mistake or minor injury. 愚蠢的小错误，轻伤 例： I made a boo-boo in my presentation — I hope no one notice it! 在我的报告里有一个小小的错误，—但愿没人注意到它。 [用法来源] ‘Boo boo ’ comes from the crying sound a child makes when he is injured——’boo hoo’(见第三条解释） 2.boo!: (interjection) Used to express contempt,scorn ,or disapproval or to frighten or surprise another. 嘘！表示不满、轻蔑、反对或吓唬别人时发出的声音。 例: They booed Chris off the stage.

George :Hey ,believe me ,baldness willcatch on.When the aliens come ,who do you think they’re gonna relate to?Who do you think is gonna be the first ones getting a tour of the shio? [参考译文] Kramer :也许秃顶会成为一种时尚。 George : 嘿，相信我吧，秃顶肯定会变成一种时尚，哪一天当外星人来到地球时，他们会跟谁更亲近些？你想想谁会先被请去参观他们的飞船？， Note: The popular images of the aliens are all hairless in madern movies ,as if they are the next kin to the bald people.That’s why George is saying that people will want to become bald in the future to look like the alien’s relatives. 现代电影中，外星人总是一光头的形象出现，就好像是秃子门的同类。所以George 说未来大家都希望自己变成秃头，以便看上去更像外星人的亲戚
