大家好,今天來分享一個習語:Donkey's year. 我們都知道,donkey 是驢,year 是年,組合在一起,是驢的年嗎? 當然不是。
donkey's year|a very long time很久的時間,猴年馬月。
看看例子怎麼用:
① I saw the road was digged and filled
again and again. it won't be finished for
donkey's years.
我看見那條路挖了又填,填了又挖,完工得要等到猴年馬月。
② It's monkey's yearssince we've met last
time.
自從上次見面後我們好些年沒見面了。
③ She has been steered clear of me for
donkey's years. I won't let her go as long
as I get her.
她很長時間都一直躲著我,只要我逮住她,我就不會讓她就這麼算了。
