  【例句】After Sam lost the wrestling match he was black and blue.

  山姆輸了摔跤比賽后(臉上)青一塊紫一塊的。

  Black sheep of the family

  含義:一群白羊里面就你一只黑的,這種家族畫風和別人明顯不一樣的就可以說“Black sheep of the family“——注意了,和我們傳統(tǒng)意義上說的”鶴立雞群“不一樣,這個詞組是帶有貶義的。

  【例句】My sisters are so successful. One is a doctor, the other is an engineer but I'm the black sheep of the family. My parents hate me sometimes because I get pretty bad grades. :(

  我的姐姐都很成功:一個是醫(yī)生,另一個是工程師,只有我是“壞了一鍋湯的老鼠屎”——我的父母有時候真的很討厭我,因為我成績差的不行。
