1.Seldom have I met a girl who s had such a gift of gab like Lilys.我几乎从未见过像莉莉这样有口才的女孩子。“口才”的英语表达法是the gift of gab。一般情况下，该短语强调的是“讲话的能力”，与讲话的实际内容没有关系。2.She s a rough diamond . Although she seems to be careless, she does everything tiptop.她是个外粗内秀的人。别看她大大咧咧的，干起事来总是顶呱呱的。3.When it comes to teaching grammar, she can be a notch above all the others.她教课很棒。论教语法，她比其他任何人都略胜一筹。4. You know her company? She has a big drag with the boss.你知道她的公司吧?她在老板那儿很吃得开。have a big drag 是个地道的口语形式，直译为“有很大的牵扯”，意指“吃得开”。5.She s so honey-lipped that she knows how to tailor her words to please the ears of different people.她嘴特别甜，很会见什么人说什么话。中国人习惯把“嘴甜的”说成是sweet-mouthed。但是，英美人认为应该用honey-lipped才更符合他们的习惯。6. She has taste on fashion.她眼光很独到啊。7.I m sure she can do a good job in the business. She has a lot on the ball . 我认为她肯定能做好这份工作。她很能干。“很能干”在英语中有很多种说法，比如：be able to do... be capable of ...但是to have a lt on the ball 更符合英美人的口语习惯。8.She has a mind like a steel trap . Nothing needs to be explained twice to her.她脑瓜很好使。什么事情都不用说第二遍。
