大家好,我是雨霓。和上次一样,今天让我们继续来看几个描述人物性格的习语。这次我们想描述的是什么人很懒惰。除了lazy这个词以外,还可以用哪些习语表达呢?
not lift/raise a finger 不尽举手之劳:to not make any effort to help 不(肯)帮一点忙,不(愿)尽举手之劳
例句:He never lifts a finger to help with the housework. 他从不帮着做家务。
sit (around) on your backside【俚语贬义】:to do nothing 无所事事
例句:I do all the work, while all you do is sit around on your backside all day. 什么活都是我干,而你整天无所事事。
owe sb a living:If you say that someone thinks that people owe him or her a living, you mean that that person thinks that he or she deserves to be paid without having to work hard for it 有义务养活(某人)
例句:
He seems to think the world owes him a living.
他似乎觉得世人都有义务照顾他。
No one owes you a living.
没人有义务养活你。
