Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Idioms 255. The idiom today is to be
-
bitten by the bug or to have the bug or have the bug for something. Okay. Let's
-
take a look at the note here. If someone is bitten by the bug, he or she is very
-
excited or very interested in something. We often say someone has been bitten by
-
the something bug. Okay. Let's take a look at ... Let's continue here. The idea alludes
-
to that it is like someone got bitten by a bug that made them addicted to
-
something. So once you got bitten by it, you can't help yourself anymore. So
-
that's kind of like the idea behind it. All right. Let's look at several examples
-
here. Example number one. Her son got bitten by the travel bug. That's a
-
common one. We often say the travel bug. He likes to take as many backpacking
-
trips as he can. So he became a backpacker. Maybe he did one trip and
-
then he came back and he saved money did another trip and did another trip and
-
another trip. We say somebody got to travel bug. Well that's a common one. It
-
doesn't have to be backpacking too. It could be anything with travel. If
-
somebody really just fell in love with traveling and they you know, every year
-
they plan at least the one or two trips to go traveling somewhere that they cut
-
the travel bug. They can't get rid of it. All right.Let's look at number two. Her
-
daughter has been bitten by the rap dancing bug. The only thing she wants to
-
do is learn and practice more dance ... rap dancing moves. Yeah. So she got the
-
rap dancing bug or the last one you know, we could reverse it.
-
Another way you could say, Jack has the bug for extreme sports or he has an
-
extreme sports bug too. You can also say it that way. Every weekend he loves nothing
-
more than to go skydiving , mountain climbing , bungee jumping, etc . So and any
-
one of them. But he really he's really into that high that natural high of the
-
extreme sport. So he's got a bug for it. That's the way we could say it . Okay.
-
Anyway I hope you got it . I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
