01 Apr 2021

Description

face the music字面上看再简单不过却又实在不好理解音乐为什么不用耳朵听而要去面对?难不成是四面楚歌?一起和小酱来看看真正的意思吧01“face the music”是什么意思?face the music的英文词典解释:“to meet an unpleasant situation, a danger, or the consequences of one's actions去面对不愉快的情况、危险或某个行为的后果所以face the music可以理解为:① 面对现实,直面困难; ② 接受批评(或惩罚)这个短语来源于剧场。演员们在舞台上表演时,经常会由于紧张或怯场而造成忘词等尴尬的局面,但只要音乐一响,演员就没有任何选择的余地,只能勇敢去面对。后来face the music便被用来指承担自己行为的后果。例:I really don't want to talk to the person, but I have to face the music.我真的不想和那个人说话,但我不得不面对现实。02“music to one's ears”是什么意思?music to one's ears指说的话让人爱听、令人愉快也可以翻译为“正合某人心意”例:His news is music to my ears.他的消息正合我的心意。正合某人心意;对(某人)的胃口,还可以用:up one's alley alley [ˈæli] 小街,小巷英式英语中则常用up one's street例:This job seems right up my alley. 这份工作似乎正合我的胃口。03“elevator music”是什么意思?elevator [ˈelɪveɪtə(r)] 电梯elevator music指在公共场所如电梯中连续播放的音乐通常给人的感觉是比较平淡、单调所以elevator music也用来形容一些很无聊的音乐例:I didn't like that singer at all, it sounds like elevator music.我一点也不喜欢那个歌手,听起来像电梯音乐。再来学习一个跟音乐有关的常用短语04“play it by ear”是什么意思?这个短语原是音乐用语指某人仅凭听过的记忆就可弹奏乐曲后来引申为“随机应变,见机行事”例:We can't make a decision yet. Let's just play it by ear.我们还不能做出决定,让我们见机行事。
