   在日常生活中,有的时候我们会觉得自己好像站在十字路口,不知道往哪儿走才好。如果我们做出错误的决定,就可能会陷于困境,in the doghouse。Doghouse就是狗睡觉的房子,也就是狗窝。In the doghouse作为俗语,它的意思就是你使某人很生气,以致你不得不在屋子外面跟自己家里的狗睡在一起,意思就是惹人生气令自己出境尴尬。


  For example:
  I've been in the doghouse with my mom and dad ever since they saw my grades from last semester. I admit that I failed math and barely 1 passed English, but these are tough courses!
  自从我妈妈和爸爸看到我上学期的成绩单以后,他们一直对我很生气。我承认,我数学不及格,英语也勉强及格。可是这些课程都是很难的啊!
  在美国人当中,离了婚再结婚的人也不少。有的时候,双方跟前夫或前妻都有孩子,结了婚两家合在一起孩子就更多了。这就会产生很多问题,不仅孩子之间会发生矛盾,而且还会影响夫妇之间的感情。下面就是一个丈夫在说他生活中的麻烦。
  My wife and I each has a son from our first marriages. Somehow, her son always likes to disturb my son when he's doing his homework. The other day I tried to discipline him and that got me in the doghouse with my wife。
  我跟我太太之前的婚姻都有一个儿子。不知怎么回事,每当我儿子做功课的时候,她的儿子总是喜欢捣乱。那天,我想给他定点规矩,结果却使我太太对我很生气。
  表示处境困难的习惯用语还有between a rock and a hard place。Rock是石头,hard place是坚硬的地方,石头本来就是硬的,如果夹在石头和另一种很坚硬的东西中间,相信处境一定很艰难。
  For example:
  Lisa finds herself between a rock and a hard place. If she decides to stay with her husband, she'll be beaten from time to time or even killed one day. If she is determined 2 to divorce him, he probably will kill her before she hires a lawyer。
  利萨发现自己真是进退两难。要是她决定和她丈夫继续过下去,她会不断地挨打,或者甚至哪天被打死。要是她决心跟他离婚,她可能还没有找到律师,就被她丈夫杀了。

adv.仅仅,几乎没有,几乎不
  • The male bird is barely distinguishable from the female.雄鸟和雌鸟几乎无法辨别。
  • He took barely enough money to keep the children in bread.他赚很少的钱仅够孩子们勉强糊口。
adj.坚定的;有决心的
  • I have determined on going to Tibet after graduation.我已决定毕业后去西藏。
  • He determined to view the rooms behind the office.他决定查看一下办公室后面的房间。
