那麼，它們並不新鮮，我是說成語就像山一樣古老，對嗎？

但對你來說，它們可能是新的。

讓我們一起來學習這 10 個簡單的成語。

You meet someone at work for the first time and you start speaking, but you suddenly disagree with each other.

你在工作中第一次遇到某人，你們開始交談，但突然間彼此意見相左。

You make a bad start and you think, we should start again, right?

如果開局不利，你會想，我們應該重新開始，對嗎？

You could say, we got off on the wrong foot.

可以說，我們一開始就走錯了路。

To get off on the wrong foot, right, is to start a relationship in a bad way, usually by making a bad impression.

一開始就走錯路，對吧，就是以一種糟糕的方式開始一段關係，通常是給人留下不好的印象。

You say something wrong or you disagree, right?

你說錯了什麼，或者你不同意，對嗎？

Here's another example from one of my students, Hany.

下面是我的學生哈尼的另一個例子。

When I first met my boss, I told him that I support Tottenham.

當我第一次見到我的老闆時，我告訴他我支持托特納姆熱刺。

但不幸的是，他支持的是阿森納。

但一段時間後，我們相處得很好。

想象一下，你的鄰居經常看電視，但聲音非常非常大。

可以說，是他讓我挺起了脊樑。

My neighbour puts my back up, puts my back up.

我的鄰居為我撐腰，為我撐腰。

To put someone's back up is to annoy or irritate someone.

給人撐腰就是惹惱或刺激別人。

So if I put your back up, I annoy you and you feel angry, right?

所以，如果我把你的後背豎起來，我就會惹惱你，你就會感到生氣，對嗎？

When John criticised his wife's cooking, bad idea, in front of everyone, it really put her back up.

當約翰當著眾人的面責備妻子的廚藝是個餿主意時，這讓她很受打擊。

And she didn't speak to him for the rest of the evening.

整個晚上，她都沒有和他說話。

If it was my wife, it would be the rest of the week.

如果是我妻子，這周剩下的時間都會是這樣。

Some more examples from my students, Vladimir and Ahmed.

我的學生弗拉基米爾和艾哈邁德又舉了一些例子。

Well, obviously, the salesman put my back up when he refused to provide me with the promise discount.

很明顯，銷售員拒絕向我提供承諾的折扣，這讓我很為難。

Now, you could say and should say to your child, you need to pull your finger out.

現在，你可以也應該對孩子說，你需要把手指拔出來。

To pull your finger out means to start working harder or more quickly.

拔出手指意味著開始更努力或更快速地工作。

I'm behind with this project and I need to finish before the deadline.

這個項目我已經落後了，我需要在截止日期前完成。

And here's a nice example from my student, Timur.

我的學生 Timur 就舉了一個很好的例子。

Then I came back to work and there was a lot of work to get done.

然後我回到工作崗位，有很多工作要做。

於是，我不得不把手指拔出來。

OK, the next idiom, to have your work cut out.

This is similar to the idiom before, right?

To pull your finger out, which is advice or telling somebody.

拔出手指，即建議或告訴別人。

But here, if you have a lot of work or a big task ahead of you, to describe that situation, you can say, you have your work cut out.

但在這裡，如果你有大量的工作或艱鉅的任務要做，你就可以說 "你的任務艱鉅"。

You have your work, there you are, your work cut out.

你有你的工作，你在這裡，你的工作已經完成。

Meaning, well, you have a big task ahead of you.

And he said, oh, you've got your work cut out.

And I got really nervous because he was saying, you've got a big, difficult task ahead of you.

我非常緊張，因為他說，你面臨著一項艱鉅的任務。

And it turns out, class 12, the naughtiest children on the planet.
