black sheep
“black sheep”直译为“黑色的羊”,但它也有“败家子,害群之马”的意思,就像“black dog”你可以翻译成“黑色的狗狗”,但它也可以成为“抑郁症”的代名词,即沮丧,意志消沉。
“black sheep”这个短语来源于一群白羊中的黑羊,显得格外扎眼,另外人们认为黑羊毛比白羊毛价格便宜。

bite the bullet
“bite”有“咬”的意思,“bullet”有“子弹”的意思,那么,“bite the bullet”就是“咬子弹”的意思?这样翻译也不是不对,因为据说过去战时人们治疗伤员,为了减轻他们的痛苦,就会让伤员“bite the bullet”。So,它也有“咬紧牙关,硬着头皮去做”的意思。

《工作狂》
《绝命毒师》
