     对于衣服的英文单词,相信很多朋友都能够脱口而出。那么,关于衣服的英语单词短语,小伙伴们,您确定每一个都能看懂了吗?

  第一个:ants in their pant
  比如这个衣服英语单词短语ants in their pants。按照字面的意思,咱们是不是理解为“裤裆里有蚂蚁”。那么,裤裆里有蚂蚁,又是什么意思呢?在给你一个例句分析理解下:
 
  I have ants in my pants for the coming exam on Tuesday。
 
  是不是很快就能够猜出:ants in their pants,形同一种很紧张,坐立不安的状态。就像我们中文说的“热窝上的蚂蚁”。整个句子翻译为:想到周二就要考试,我真是坐立不安。
 
  第二个:caught with their pants down
  有时,人们可能会被caught with their pants down,按字面阐明就是一个人在裤子掉下来的时候被人抓到,那样的情景,该是如许的难堪啊。作为习语,它的意思就是“当一个人正在做坏事、做可耻的事件的时候被人发现了”。
  A famous singer was caught with his pants down when he was having sex with a prostitute in the back of his car last night。
  昨天晚上,一个著名歌手跟妓女在汽车后座发生性关系时被人当场抓住。

  第三个:fly by the seat of one's pants 
  When Jones started up business in the town, he didn't know anybody, so he had to fly by the seat of his pants。
  当琼斯在这个镇子开始做生意时,他一个人都不认识,所以只好全靠自己摸索。 
  这句话中英语英语单词短语fly by the seat of one's pants指的是有些时候在做某件事的时候不清楚的引导,也缺乏足够的常识,只能靠直觉,这时就可以说fly by the seat of one's pants。

  第四个:burn a hole in your pocket
  裤子通常都有装东西的口袋,形容一个人花钱如流水可能说“就像口袋上烧了个洞(burn a hole in your pocket)”。在汉语中,咱们也常用诸如“有点钱就烧得好受”、“烧包”来形容这样的人,看来英语跟中文是有很多必由之路之处的。例如:
  I am sure he'll spend his wages in a few days because the money is burning a hole in his pocket。
  我肯定不出多少天他就会将工资全部花光,由于他是个有钱留不住的人。 
 
  此外,还有一些衣服英语单词短语:自负的人(People who are too big for their boots);取代别人(fill their shoes);爱摆架子(a real stuffed shirt);直爽坦率(wears his heart on his sleeve);制胜法宝(a card up his sleeve)等等。
