迷你对话学地道口语第194期:勃然大怒

　　迷你对话：
A: Mum, Mark proposed today.
妈妈，今天Mark向我求婚了。
B: Mark? That Christian¹? You didn’t accept it, did you?
Mark? 那个基督教徒？你没答应她，对吧？
A: Yes, I did. I love him, Mum. And he doesn’t mind getting married in our church.
是的，我没答应，但是我爱他。他不介意在我们的教堂举行婚礼。
B: Oh, silly girl! I can almost see your father hitting the roof.
真是个傻姑娘！我能想象得出你爸爸暴跳如雷的样子。
地道表达：
hit the roof
解词释义：
roof本意是“屋顶”，引申为“顶点”，hit the roof意为“到达顶点”。在美国俚语中，用它来表示“勃然大怒，暴跳如雷”的意思。
支持范例：
Your father's gonna hit the roof when he sees what you did to his car!
你父亲在看见你对他的车都干了些什么的时候，会暴跳如雷的。
That was a close call. I'm lucky she didn't see me. She would have really hit the roof.
真危险啊。好在她没看见我。不然，她非火冒三丈不可。
My mother hit the roof when she saw my grades.
妈妈看到我的成绩之后大发雷霆。
