American English has its own idioms. Let’s say you buy something in a shop. And you pay for it, you say: this cost
an arm and a leg! What do you really mean by
(say) so? Do you have to give them an arm and a leg? I hope not. Let’s listen to an American English conversation
(see) if we can find out what this means.
A: Did you buy that new computer?
B: Yeah, I did. But I (buy) it.
A: Why do you say so? Is there anything wrong with it?
B: Not exactly, but , as a matter of fact, it cost the way more than I (expect) it to be.
A: did you pay for it?
B: Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg.
When you say in American English that something costs an arm and a leg, it actually means that price is very, very high, much
(high)than we can expect. If you use this idiom in the United States, everyone will understand you. But this is a(n)
phrase, so don’t use it in a formal business setting.
No one knows for sure when a fire will happen, so it is (extreme) necessary to make preparations before a fire starts. Check the fire escape equipment in advance and make sure that you can find
in the dark when lights have failed. Find out
the nearest fire extinguisher(灭火器) is and read the instructions to learn how
(use) it.
Don’t lose your head when a fire breaks out. First, telephone the fire department immediately when fire just gets started. Take care not to be overcome by smoke,
can kill you quickly. Cover your mouth
a wet towel or cloth, and avoid getting into the smoke. Don’t get in an elevator, as you may get trapped if the electricity
(fail). If you can not get away
yourself, it is of great importance to hang something out of the window to attract attention as a sign of asking for help.
In short, if you make preparations before hand and take precautions(预防措施) during the fire, chances are that will survive in case of a fire if it really breaks out some day.
