- A cold day in July -
乍一看,“a cold day in July”
可以翻译为
“七月中寒冷的一天”,
七月份的天气通常来说是炎热无比的,
所以说压根儿不可能。
“ a cold day in July”
=
“ 某事几乎不可能发生或发生概率极低”
例句:

they keep good terms with each other.
想要让他们和好如初,那简直就是天方夜谭。

就是我们常说的“ 让人不开心的星期一综合症”,
用一句话来形容,就是 上班的心情很丧。

从同学疲惫的脸上,我能看出来他们都得了星期一综合症。
5
- steal a march on sb -
steal a march on sb
不能理解成“偷了个三月”哦~
If you steal a march on someone,
you get an advantage over that person by acting before they do
因为这里的 march 首字母没有大写
所以不能理解为三月
而要解释为行进
steal 是偷,所以这个短语指的就是
那些先偷偷走了一步的人
也就是 抢先一步的人
例句:
We are going to answer this puzzle , but our opponents stole a march on us.
我们正要回答这个谜语,但是我们的对手抢先一步了。
