例句:

甜心,这将是我最后一根烟。我跟你保证,我绝不会再抽烟了。
This is going to be your last cigarette, my ass.
这会是你的最后一根烟?才怪!
the man
大哥;厉害的人
例句:
O.K. Your car is fixed. There should be no more problem(s) now.
好了!你的车修好了。应该不会再有问题了!
You’ve got it taken care of just like that? You’re the man.
你这样(一下子)就搞好了啊!大哥真是厉害!
on the nose
(时间的)整点;完全
例句:
What time is it, honey?
甜心!现在几点啦?
It’s six
pm on
the nose.
B:晚上六点整。
“on the nose”除了当时间整点外,还有「完全」的意思。好比你的心事被一个朋友看透了。你就可以对他说:”Your guess was right on the nose.”(你的猜测完全正确。)
eat
使困扰;使不开心
例句:
What’s eating you? You’ve been so quiet all morning.

I bombed in my final exam.
我的期末考砸了!
“What’s eating you?”是个很常听到的俚语。当你觉得某个人好象为某事所困扰,以致整个人不大对劲,就可以用这句话来问他,到底发生什么事了。
