以下是我自己第一次看到它的時候
覺得很特別或是完全看不出來是什麼意思的片語(嗎?)或是單詞
單純分享,若能幫助到你更好,若有什麼錯誤還請多指教,謝謝大家~


vice versa   反之亦然

Generally, the left side of the brain controls the motor movements of the right side of the body, and vice versa.

quid pro quo    等價交換

是拉丁語詞彙,很常在美劇裡看到



to and fro    來回地

We went, and walked in silence to and fro along the rampart of the fortress.

bummed out    鬱悶

When you're feeling bummed out, the solution is not to keep your feelings bottled up.


tit-for-tat    以牙還牙;針鋒相對

I usually put my comments in a general, not individual context, because I don't want to do the tit-for-tat insult thing many commentators do.

off the hook    擺脫責任

學到這個詞是在看< How I Met Your Mother > 時,Barney 跟Marshel 說"Why did you get me off the hook?"
(另外,偷偷推薦這個影集,真的很好看)



one-up    勝人一等;領先某人一步

They seemed to be trying to one-up each other, even letting out full-throated snarls when they played drop shots.

willy-nilly    無可奈何的(Whether desire or not);亂糟糟的

Contrary to the impression Will was giving, breaking up with him was not a decision she'd made lightly or willy-nilly.

以上。
