关键词:like two peas in a pod 一模一样
短语释义:今天我们要学习的短语是like two peas in a pod。Pea指豌豆,pod蚕豆,豆荚。Like two peas in a pod,这里的like并不是指喜欢,而是“像”的意思,整个短语字面意思是“看起来就像一个豆荚里的两个豌豆”。This simile ['s?m?l?] derives, of course, from the fact that two peas from the same pod are virtually indistinguishable. 一个豌豆荚里的两颗豌豆看起来当然是特别相像的。所以这个短语like two peas in a pod就是指一模一样。还有一个和like two peas in a pod比较像的短语是peas and carrots,比喻形影不离,因为豌豆和胡萝卜搭配起来口感很不错。回顾一下,今天的节目中我们学习了两个和豌豆peas有关的短语,一个是like two peas in a pod一模一样,第二个是peas and carrots形影不离。
