英语成语趣谈(9)in one’s birthday suit 一丝不挂;裸露

in one’s birthday suit

[俗]一丝不挂;裸露

I guess he didn’t know I was in the house. When I walked into the living room, he was just standing in his birthday suit.

我猜他当时并不知道我在屋里。我走进起居室时,他正一丝不挂地站在那儿!

注解:

birthday意指生日,suit意指套装;to be in one’s birthday suit, birth出生,birthday出生那天,人出生时什么都不穿,因此,喻指一丝不挂,裸露的样子。

suit [sju:t; su:t]套装,西装
