Hedy老師語音講解
例句
The referee saw the two players shouting at each other and told them to keep their shirts on.
裁判看到兩名選手對罵,於是告訴他們要冷靜。
In the mid-1800s, when this saying first came into use, a man who was going to get into a fistfight with someone often took his shirt off. It wasn't easy to fight in a stiff, starched shirt, and if you took it off, it wouldn't get wrinkled, dirty, or bloddy.
該習語最早在19世紀中期開始應用,如果一個人想要和人硬拼,他要先把襯衫脫掉。因為穿著筆挺漿硬的襯衫不太好施展拳腳,脫掉的話,還不用擔心襯衫變皺、變髒、沾上血漬。每個人都必須安裝的英語自學神器
