俚言我语

climb the wall 担心,紧张

1.????have a bone to pick with 挑骨头?or 就某事跟某人争论,抱怨某人

????例句:I have a bone to pick with you about the impolite way you spoke to my mother just now. 

翻译:你刚才对我母亲说话无礼,我要同你理论一下。

✔️ 与某人争论

️这种说法源自16世纪,是从狗啃骨头那里引申而来的。大家都知道,狗对于骨头有着极大的热情,总是啃很久,于是“a bone to pick”就被用来指代“需要长时间讨论的事情”。

2.clear the air 清新空气?or 消除不愉快的气氛;澄清事实

????例句:I got your back. It's time to clear the air. 

翻译:我支持你!是时候澄清真相了!

✔️消除误会

️这个习语源于这样一个事实,当空气中烟雾弥漫时,是很难看到东西的。有时候,当人们非常生气,或讨厌某个人时,他们会被这些情感影响。clear the air就是坦诚地说出问题并解决的过程。
