It is 11 a.m. and I'm having my first cup of coffee today. While doing this, let me share with you an English idiom about coffee:
早上11点,我正在喝我今天第一杯咖啡。让我一边喝着咖啡,一边和你们分享一个关于咖啡的英文习语吧:
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Wake up and smell the coffee 字面上的意思是 [起身嗅嗅咖啡]。真正的意思是提醒对方要赶紧看清实情 -- 实情并非如对方以为的那样。
例子:
Your boyfriend has been too busy to spend time with you on your birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas Day,New Year's Day and even the Mid-Autumn Festival? Wake up and smell the coffee, he is probably seeing someone else!你的男朋友一直太忙,没空陪你过生日,情人节,圣诞节, 新年甚至中秋节?起身嗅嗅咖啡吧(不要蒙在鼓里了),他大概是和别人约会去了!
