If something is a piece of cake, we mean it’s really easy to do – simple, quick and stress-free.

一起来学习一个新短语,让你的英语听起来更地道、更有趣。Word We Use是一个新的系列播客,帮你理解像“a piece of cake”一样的俚语。


A piece of cake,可能你之前听说过,字面意思是,一块蛋糕,甜甜软软的美味。

但在英文中,当我们说一件事儿是 A piece of cake,我们真正的意思是——这件事小菜一碟,轻而易举。

这里是一些你可能会听到的场景。

当你想答应别人的请求,并表达这很简单时:
  • Sure. It's a piece of cake.
这句话在日常生活中也很常见:
  • Folding laundry? Honestly, piece of cake for me, but my brother finds it more difficult!
你可以在公司和学校都用到它:
  • That quiz last week? Oh, total piece of cake. I got every question right.
用来鼓励或者安慰别人时:
  • Go on, try it, you'll see, it's a piece of cake!
遇到看似有挑战的事情时,你可以这样告诉别人,别担心,也没有特别难:
  • Climbing that hill? Piece of cake!
你还可以用它来比喻那些虽然不是实际动作,但一样轻轻松松的事:
  • Solving mysteries? He makes it look like a piece of cake.
