但必须注意的是，fish用来指人时形象虽然鲜明，但往往含有贬义 由fish构成的习语也非常生动有趣如：fish in the air本意为''空中钓鱼''，喻指''方法（向）不对而达不到目的''，相当于汉语中的成语''缘木求鱼''又如：like a fish out of water喻指''如鱼离水、感到生疏''，feel the fishes喻指''葬身鱼腹；晕船'' 含fish的一些谚语更加赋有哲理性如： 1．Never offer to teach fish to swim. 不要班门弄斧.（原意为：决不要教鱼游泳 2．The best fish smell bad when they are three days old. 久居别家招人嫌原意为：鱼过三天就要臭 3．He who would catch fish must not mind getting wet. 不入虎穴，焉得虎子原意为：捉鱼不要怕鞋湿 4．There are as many good fish in the sea as ever came out of it. 纵然失去一个机会，不愁没有其他机会原意为：海里的好鱼是取之不尽的。

(这个星期五，我是否可以休一天假?)请休假用take the day off。

Could I do it later? 4.确认上司指示的内容 You did say next Tuesday at 2:00 P.M.,didn't you?（您是说在下星期二下午２点，是不是？） 任何事都必须确认一下。

What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop.
