【适用场合】
今天我们重点学习的是
make sb.’s toes curl 这个短语
让某个人的脚指头都卷曲起来了
这个短语到底什么意思呢？
英式英语中，一般比较常见的意思是：
让某个人感觉到非常尴尬，对某事感到不舒服；
to make sb. feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about sth.
其实也可以用来指恶心/愤怒这样的负面情绪
eg: The thought of having to give her presentation in front of an audience made her toes curl.
一想到要在观众面前做展示，她就觉得紧张不已。
eg: I don't know why, but the sound of another person chewing makes my toes curl.
我也不知道咋回事，听到另外一个人咀嚼食物的声音，让我浑身汗毛都竖起来了。
toe-curling
adj. 表示让你感觉到极度尴尬的；为某个人而感到羞愧的；
making you feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed for someone else:
eg: I saw the worst comedy act I've ever seen last night - it was absolutely toe-curling!
我昨晚见识到了我见过的最差的戏剧演技，简直让我，说不出话来。（简直让我，替他们感到耻辱）
但今天明显都不是这种尴尬的意思，那是什么意思呢？
make sb.’s toes curl
也可以指to cause one an acute feeling of joy or pleasure.
让人超级开心，兴奋不已（通常指恋爱中的情绪）
这种用法在美式英语中更常见
eg: When he leaned in to kiss me at the end of the date, it made my toes curl.
那天约会快结束时，他俯身吻了我，当时我心里小鹿乱撞。
