A
Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic:“Four common British expressions.” Now, before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to “Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy,” which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saving, “That exam was a piece of cake. ”
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So, for example, “I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day. ”That means “I think I'll stop here. Let's finish.”
Thank you so much for watching this program of “Four Common British Expressions.” I hope you like it, and I hope you've learned something.

【1題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well”(對(duì)于我的中國(guó)粉絲們,我也有自己的Weibo賬號(hào)。)可知,中國(guó)聽(tīng)眾可以通過(guò)Weibo和Lucy聯(lián)系。故選B項(xiàng)。
【2題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Break a leg!”小標(biāo)題下段落中“And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!””(“Break a leg!”意思是“Good luck!”所以,在比賽、面試、考試之前,替代“Good luck!”我可能會(huì)說(shuō)“Break a leg(祝你好運(yùn))”。)可知,當(dāng)John要參加英語(yǔ)演講比賽時(shí),你應(yīng)該對(duì)他說(shuō)“Break a leg(祝你好運(yùn))”。故選A項(xiàng)。
【3題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“To call it a day.”小標(biāo)題下段落中“And this means “to end a task”.”(它的意思是“結(jié)束一項(xiàng)任務(wù)”。)(句中this代指“To call it a day”)可知,當(dāng)老師說(shuō)“Let's call it a day.”時(shí),意思是“(課已結(jié)束)下課吧”。故選C項(xiàng)。
