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.
