脱掉字幕:
1.It's the big day. 今天是个好日子。
重要的日子不一定要用important表示,老外和我们一样说大日子big day。比如朋友结婚、亲人生日、大学毕业等,都可以用It's the big day!来表示。
此外,同义的说法还可以是red-letter day,这个短语也是有一定起源的。在很久以前,人们普遍使用教会的日历,日历上用红色标出那些重要的基督教节日和与圣人有关系的节日,以便于大家识别,提前做庆祝准备。
2.I couldn't sleep a wink. 我简直没合过眼。
Sleep a wink中的wink是“眨眼,使眼色”的意思。Sleep a wink的意思是“睡一会儿,打个盹儿”,也可以说take a nap。
