今天的每日一句是

We went rock climbing at the weekend. I loved it, but my friend refused to try it. He’s got a real yellow streak.

我们周末去攀岩了。我爱攀岩,但我的朋友拒绝尝试。他真是胆小如鼠。

讲解:

如果说某人 has a yellow streak, 那意思就是此人比较胆怯、不勇敢。

如果一个人 has a mean streak, 那此人会经常做出卑劣、尖酸刻薄的事情。

My boss won't give me a pay rise - he's got a real mean streak.

我老板才不会给我加薪呢,他实在是吝啬。
