1 have a cow
非常生气
A: When I told my mom I would be home around 2 am, she had a cow!
B: Duh!
小编闲语：当别人跟你说“have a cow”的时候，可千万别以为他真的“有一头牛”哦, 实际上，人家正生着气呢！此外“have kittens”也有同样的意思喔!
2 have a sweet tooth
爱吃甜食
I have a sweet tooth. I could eat candy for every meal!
小编闲语：想必每个女孩子都或多或少地钟爱于甜食吧！向大家透露一下，小编也是一个不折不扣的甜食爱好者呢！爱甜食爱到连牙齿都全部被糖“武装”了呢！“have a sweet tooth”这个短语听起来是不是十分生动呢？
3 My hands are tied.
我无能为力
A: Mr. Chapman, can I hand in my homework next time.? I left it at home.
B: All of the scores must be given to the office by Friday, so you must have your homework done today. It is a school rule and there is nothing I can do. My hands are tied!
小编闲语：“My hands are tied.” 在这里并不是真正“手被绑起来了”, 而是指“没办法办到”的意思。好比别人要你递东西给他，可你手头一大堆东西要忙，这时你就可以说：“I’m sorry, my hands are so tied!”
4 bite one’s tongue
保持缄默（以免出口伤人）
Our new client is so arrogant and insulting. I have to bite my tongue around her.
小编闲语：在现实生活当中，我们不可避免地会遇人不淑，甚至陷入被侮辱的境地，但为了“识大体，顾大局”，我们最好还是“忍气吞声”，以免引发不必要的争吵。这个时候就可以用“bite one’s tongue”这个短语描述自己的处境了。
5eat
使困扰，使不开心
A: What’s eating you? You’ve been so quiet all morning.
B: I bombed in my final exam.
小编闲语：当别人问你“What’s eating you?”的时候，千万别以为他在跟你开玩笑哦，人家其实是看你不太开心，关心你才问的呢！这是个在街头经常可以听到的俚语。
6in someone’s shoes
处于某人的境地
Your rent is due in two weeks! If I were in your shoes, I’d be looking for a job today instead of going to the movies.
小编闲语：“in someone’s shoes”可不是真的就让你去穿上别人的鞋哦，这里其实是“to be in someone else’s situation”的意思，不过“in someone’s shoes”听起来是不是就更传神呢？
