漢語中有許多習(xí)語都和身體部位有關(guān)，英語也不例外，下面一些例子供大家參考。

1. An eye for eye, a tooth for tooth.以眼還眼，以牙還牙。例如：

A: Are you going to tell John’s supervisor what he did?
B: Sure. He told my supervisor when I did the same thing.
A: An eye for eye, a tooth for tooth.

此句源自《漢莫拉比法典》，指用對方做事的同樣方法來報(bào)復(fù)。這與漢語中的說法十分相似，很好理解。

2. get cold feet 膽怯；例如：

A: What happened to Jim? I thought he would go skydiving with us.
B: He got cold feet.
有人會(huì)因?yàn)槟_浸入海水覺得冷而放棄游泳，“get cold feet”由“腳變涼“而轉(zhuǎn)到“膽怯”之意，十分形象。

3. I need that like I need a hole in my head.完全不需要。例如：

A: I’m having a hard time deciding what car to get.
B: Look at this one. Why not buy it?
A: I need that like I need a hole in my head.

在頭上除了眼，鼻，口之外，不需要?jiǎng)e的“洞”了，因此就轉(zhuǎn)為“完全不需要”的意思。此句生動(dòng)有趣，在口語中運(yùn)用一下很不錯(cuò)哦！

4. It’s as plain as the nose on your face.很明白，很清楚。例如：

A: Do you think Nancy is going to quit? She hasn’t said anything.
B: It’s as plain as the nose on your face.
直譯為“就像看你臉上的鼻子一樣，我看得很清楚。”

5. Let’s not split hairs.不要拘泥于細(xì)節(jié)。例如：

A: Well, I don’t agree. I should get $5.02 and you should get $4.48.
B: Let’s not split hairs, OK?
這句話直譯是“不要把頭發(fā)劈開。”本來就很細(xì)的頭發(fā)還要再分開是沒有必要的，實(shí)際是指不要過分拘泥于細(xì)小的事情，斤斤計(jì)較。

6. The blind leading the blind.盲人指路。例如：

A: Kate asked Henry to help her start a business.
B: The blind leading the blind.
A: Yeah, Henry doesn’t know anything about business.

其實(shí)這句話是“If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”的省略形式，源自《圣經(jīng)》。常常指沒有實(shí)力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者進(jìn)行領(lǐng)導(dǎo)是不會(huì)有什么好結(jié)果的。
