总想「静静」?那静静的英文怎么说呢?
“你要冷静!”的英文原来这么说
今天我们来学习一个和头发相关的短语-”keep one’s hair on”, 这个短语直译过来是,“保持好自己的头发”。但其实他是保持镇定的意思。为什么会有保持镇定的意思呢?这个短语的起源十分有趣。主要和一个单词toupee相关. Toupee一般指男士的假发。可以试想,如果两个戴假发的男士生气甚至是动起手来,可能最先遭殃的就是他们的假发了吧。这个场面也是极具戏剧性的。今天我们就来学习一下,这个短语如何用在句子中。

Toupee ['tuːpeɪ] n. 假发;男子假发
annoyed [ə'nɔɪd] adj. 恼怒的;烦闷的
