Hot potato
烫手山芋;棘手问题
A hot potato is a difficult problem or situation that no one wants to solve, so they pass it on and on from one person to the next. A hot potato will burn your hands if you hold it, so you need to throw it to someone else quickly!
烫手山芋指一个没人想解决的问题或处境,所以人们互相推诿。如果你握住烫手山芋,它会灼伤你的手,因此你需要很快把它扔给其他人。
It is also the name of a game that you may have played in class, where you have to throw around a ball or other object as fast as possible.
它还是一个游戏名称(击鼓传花),你可能在课堂上玩过,你必须尽可能快速地把手上的球或其他物体丢开。
Example:
We still need to plan our presentation, but no one has the time or desire to work on it. The presentation is becoming a hot potato, so someone needs to take charge.
我们仍然需要策划发布会,但是没人有时间和意愿去做这件事。发布会成了一个烫手山芋,因此需要有人来负责。
Corny
陈旧的,老生常谈的
This is an adjective that means silly, funny or not cool.
这是个形容词,表示简单的,有趣的或者陈旧过时的。
Example:
Now that Tom is a father, he seems to constantly make “dad jokes”—corny jokes that no one laughs at.
既然汤姆已为人父,他似乎总是开一些“爸爸式玩笑”——一些陈旧过时的玩笑,没人笑得出来。
Black Friday
黑色星期五
You may have heard about this day, especially if you’re interested in shopping or discounts.
你可能听过这个日子,特别是如果你对购物或折扣感兴趣的话。
In the past—and still today—many people get two days off of work for Thanksgiving: Thursday and Friday. This effectively creates a "four-day weekend," so many people travel or do fun things during the days after Thanksgiving.
过去——如今也是——许多人感恩节会放假两天:星期四和星期五。这实际上创造了一个“四天周末”,因此许多人在感恩节过后的日子里去旅行或者做些有趣的事情。
Also, the day or two after Thanksgiving gives people a good opportunity to do some Christmas shopping, since Christmas is generally about a month after Thanksgiving. However, many people had the same idea, so the day after Thanksgiving began to be called Black Friday because it was usually a chaotic, "dark" time to go shopping since many stores were completely full of people.
而且,感恩节后的一两天给了人们一个圣诞节购物的好机会,因为圣诞节通常是在感恩节后大约一个月来临。然而,许多人都有相同的想法,所以感恩节后的日子开始被称为“黑色星期五”,因为那天许多商店都人山人海,一片混乱,是购物的“黑暗”时间。
In recent times, especially with the Internet, many stores have started having "Black Friday Sales." Sometimes there are good deals, and sometimes people just think there will be good deals, so they go to a store to see. Either way, it is still generally one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
最近,尤其是伴随着互联网的发展,许多商店开始推出“黑色星期五折扣”。有时候确实很合算,而有时候只是人们认为它们合算,所以他们会去商店逛一逛。总之,它还是一年中最繁忙的购物节之一。
