迷你对话: A: Mary seems depressed. What's the matter? Mary看起来很不开心,她怎么啦? B: She didn't expect to get a kick in the teeth after a day's hard work. 她没有想到自己辛辛苦苦干了一天的活却受到责备。 A: Poor girl! 可怜的孩子。 地道表达:get a kick in the teeth 解词释义:kick是“踢”的意思,牙齿被“踢”掉了一脚,比喻为“受到重大挫折”。 支持范例: Mary worked hard to clean up John's room, but all she got for her trouble was a kick in the teeth. 玛丽辛辛苦苦把约翰的房间打扫干净,不料她所得到的却是一番侮辱。 Jim got away with cheating in the test, while Sam got a kick in the teeth. 吉姆在考试时作弊却逃避了惩罚,而山姆则受到责备。
