情境:你和朋友在讨论某位同事喜怒形于色,这时应该怎么说?

(A) shoulder (B)face (C)sleeve

正确解答:(C)

比尔是个会把感受表现在脸上的人。

原来是这个意思!

wear one's heart on one's sleeve喜怒形于色

从字面上来看,这个习语是指将心穿在袖子上,也就是将心思显露在外的意思。

早期的西方社会有个习俗,会将女性的缎带别在爱人的袖子上,所以产生这样的说法。

wear 可以用 have pin 代替。

Allen: It's easy. He wears his heart on his sleeve.艾伦:很容易啊,他的表情都写在脸上。

Betsy: So it's easy to get along with him, right?贝齐:那他应该很好相处吧?

Allen: I wouldn't say so. He has an unpredictable temper.艾伦:我可不会这么说,他的脾气说变就变。
