埃姆愛雜談，全領域感悟分享
英語俗語非常多，要把這些都學完，這個任務量可是非常巨大的。即時我們打定主意，要學某一方面的所有idioms, 也是非常艱巨的，而且我們還要學怎樣更加恰當的使用這些俗語。有一些idioms是比較常用的，但是也有很大一部分，是很少出現在日常生活中的。
所以如果你打定主意要學非常local的英文idioms的話，小編建議，不用列一個長長的清單出來，這樣會給自己超大壓力。我們不妨從一些有趣的主題開始，去展開學習。小編給大家分享一下一些常用的idioms吧，都是和吃相關的表達，所以大家應該不會感到枯燥。
1. a piece of cake!
通常指某些事情非常容易，很簡單。
例如： I'm confident I passed the exam ， It was a piece of cake ！
2. (to) put all your eggs in one basket
這個短語表示你沒有去風險均攤。通常用來形容錢或者機遇，或者未來和希望上面
字面含義是如果把所有雞蛋放在一個籃子裡，我們就沒有了風險的承擔能力，一旦發生意外，就將失去一切。
例如：While my brother trained to be a professional footballer ， he also studied a degree in engineering. Because my dad told him not to put all of his eggs in one basket.
My uncle invested all of his savings into a company that went bankrupt. I don't know why he put all of his eggs in one basket.
3. (to) be in a pickle
我們通常會在比較棘手的環境下，例如遇到困難的時候使用這個idiom，通常會說to be in a bit of a pickle. 這個當問題不是那麼嚴峻的時候可以用。
例如：We're in a pickle ， We've just locked the keys in the car!
I promised to pick up my sister form the ariport, but I'm still at work and I can't leave yet! I'm in a bit of a pickle ， can you help ？
4. to bite off more than one can chew
這是小編最喜歡的俗語，這是當你嘗試幹某事 ， 但是太難了，做不成的時候可以使用。做不成也許是因為你技能不夠，也許是因為你沒時間去做。
例如：He's been working back late every night this week trying to finish the project. I think he's bitten off more than he can chew.
I'm so sorry ！ I haven't got time to meet you for lunch today . I'm organising my sister's surprise party ， and I've bitten off more than I can chew ！ There's so much to do ！
5. to butter someone up
你非常友好的對待某人，然後你就能得到那些人的回報了。
例如：I know that Paul has a spare ticket to the concert ， Perhaps if we butter him up ， he might offer it to us ！
He'll have to butter his boss up if he wants to take extra leave at Christmas.
6. in a nutshell
這個短語表示用非常簡單的語言去描述某物，儘量做到用最少的單詞來描述清楚。
例如：當和朋友談論電影的時候，我們可以非常簡單的概括故事出來，It's a complicated story ， but in a nutshell, it's about three astronauts who disappear for about thirty years before returning to earth with no memory of anything that had happened ！
I don't want to explain their whole history, but in a nutshell, they just wanted different things out of life . She wanted travel and adventure, he wanted to focus on his career . So in the end ， they broke up .
