2.傻瓜好使 have a mind like a steel trap

小舒的脑瓜特别好使，什么事一点就通

第三篇 脾气和性格 temper and personality

1.偷懒耍滑头 goof-off

小王总是偷懒耍滑头，上班时，不是打电话就是跑到医务室去看病

Xiao wang’s always goofing-off –either making phone calls or going to the clinic to see                        doctors during office time

汉语中偷懒耍滑头很接近英语goof-off 这一短语的意思，此语主要用于逃避工作或故意偷懒的场合

Eg: stop goofing-off and get down to work 别偷懒耍滑了，开始工作吧！

杰克很聪明，如果他不偷懒，一定会得到更高的分数了

Jack’s clever ,he could get ever higher scores if he didn’t goof-off

李明因为上班偷懒而被开除了。Li ming had been fired for goofing-off at work

3．大动肝火 be up in arms

由于最近几个月的销售业绩不佳，老板正在大动肝火

The boss is up in arms about the company’s poor sales record in the past few months

汉语中 大动肝火或 愤怒己极之类的概念除了可以用短语fly into a rage 和be filled with indignation 外，还可以用习语be up in arms来表达，此语的意思是 举起双臂，抖动拳头表示愤怒

你未经也许就用来 爸爸的汽车，这使得他大为恼火

Dad is up arms because u used his cars without asking for his permission

你为什么要为这么一点小事而如此大动肝火呢？

Why should u fly into such a rage at a small thing like this ?
