“今晚大家不僅可以敞開(kāi)肚皮盡情的享受美食，而且還可以舞到天亮。”
2. everyone who's anyone
這是非常地道的一種用法，意思是"非常重要的人"。除此之外，美國(guó)人還會(huì)用一些其它的表達(dá)方式來(lái)代替everyone who's anyone，比如VIP= very important person，who is who，anyone who's anyone！那么中國(guó)名流，就可以是：anyone who's anyone in china。
4. What the heck...?
可能大家在看電影的時(shí)候經(jīng)常會(huì)聽(tīng)到What the hell...？或者是What on earth...?其實(shí)這三句話(huà)在日常生活中是可以互相替換著來(lái)用的，意思是究竟……? 到底……? 比如你究竟在干嘛？就可以是：What the heck are you doing?

當(dāng)人們達(dá)到一種極度亢奮狀態(tài)的時(shí)候，經(jīng)常會(huì)說(shuō)的一句話(huà)。如果大家經(jīng)常看一些娛樂(lè)節(jié)目或者演唱會(huì)，體會(huì)會(huì)更深一些！比如我們經(jīng)常聽(tīng)到歌手對(duì)觀眾大聲說(shuō)："讓我聽(tīng)到你們的聲音好不好！"如果用英文表達(dá)的話(huà)就是"can I get a whoop，whoop？"
