我花了整个一个周末的时间,终于把地下室清理干净了。你肯定想象不到,我找出了多少零七八碎的旧东西,其中不知道哪来的一本天体物理学课本,里面的公式对于我来说,简直就是天书。不过,这倒让我找到了灵感,今天我们学习的习惯用语就是:Greek to me. Greek to me这个习惯用语的意思就是完全无法理解。
换句话说,就是中文里说的天书。这下你明白了吧,我对天体物理学一窍不通,所以那些公式对于我来说,就是天书。It's Greek to me.
例句-1:Finding a house to buy was complicated enough. But that's nothing compared to all the paperwork my realtor is asking me to sign. I'm looking at nearly a hundred pages of official documents full of terms I've never seen before. It's all Greek to me.
例句-2 What was so important that our daughter was always exchanging messages with her friends? Finally, I grabbed her cell phone to see for myself. But it's like she was writing in some kind of code. My wife couldn't figure it out either. It was all Greek to us.
