I dont want to be a third wheel.(你们俩去好了,我不想当电灯泡。),All Greek to me,来源:众所周知,希腊是世界上的四大文明古国之一。希腊语对西方各国语言文字的影响很大,曾经在英国上流社会风行一时。但是,古希腊语语法深奥繁复,多曲折变化,常被学习者视为畏途。所以,古希腊语作为一种艰涩难懂的语言形象根深蒂固,于是便和“晦涩难懂的事物”等同起来,并作为一个习语固定下来。 被人们用来表示完全不懂、一窍不通、天书比如说Math means all Greek to me,就是说我完全不懂数学。,像这样自己设计对话吧,A: Im very tired, I have to catch some Zs.B:What happened?A: I have worked on the program for over 70 hours this week!To talk turkey with you, it is all Greek to me.C: Oh, come on. How about going to a movie with us?A: Are you kidding me? I dont want to be a third wheel, you two just go ahead.,Thank you!,
