“child's play”不是“兒戲”

有人直接以為是“兒戲”，看起來好像有那么一點意思，其實不然，child's play真正的意思是“輕而易舉的事”，說的通俗一點可以是“小兒科”

Driving a car is not child's play.

開車并非是一件輕而易舉的事。

帶著孩子的大大的東西是什么呢?其實就是孕婦的肚子啦，big with child的意思就是“懷孕的”，“(孕婦)肚子大的”

A few moons later, she became big with child, although unmarried, which caused much gossip.

過了幾個月，她雖然沒有結婚，肚子卻大了，所以背后引起了很多議論。

(use this when an adult is being immature, acting like a child)

(尤其用在當一個成熟的成年人表現(xiàn)的像一個小孩一樣時)意思就是叫你表現(xiàn)的穩(wěn)重點，別像個小孩一樣吊兒郎當?shù)?/p>

If you can't act your age, you shouldn't be here at all.

如果你們不能表現(xiàn)得像成人，你們就不應該在這里。

在這里小編再給大家辨析一下kid和child

"Kid"is slang for a young child.

Kid是對小孩子的稱呼的俚語

"Child" has a few different meanings:

1. Legally, a child is a minor, someone who is under 18.

從法律上講，child是指未滿18歲的未成年人。

2. Biologically, a child is a young human, before puberty (which usually hits between 10 and 16 years old).

從生物學上講，child是青春期前的年輕人(青春期通常在10歲到16歲之間)。

3. Socially, a child is any son or daughter of any age. Even a grandparent is someone's child!

在社交方面，child是指兒子或女兒，不論他/她多大。甚至祖父母也是某人的child。

So while some people separate humans into children and adults, I like to remember that we all used to be children, and we all are still children to our parents. And it's always fun to act like a kid.

因此，盡管有些人把人類分為兒童和成人。但我想讓大家記著，我們都曾是孩子，對我們的父母來說，我們?nèi)匀皇呛⒆?。表現(xiàn)得像個孩子總是很有趣的。

Because "kid" is informal, you usually don't want to use it for any academic or professional writing.

因為kid是非正式的，你通常不會在任何學術或?qū)I(yè)領域內(nèi)使用kid。

The word "kid" is also used to refer to a baby goat.

kid這個詞也用來指小山羊。

今天的內(nèi)容大家都學會了嗎?

還有哪些詞是你怎么也分不清的呢?
