今日短語

炸魚條可是一道受歡迎的家常菜。不過當我們聽到某人說他有更大的魚需要炸的時候 I have bigger fish to fry，這和下廚房一點關系都沒有，實際上他的意思是說他有更要緊的事情需要處理。

例句

I know you’re upset that we’re not going away on holiday this year, but we’ve got bigger fish to fry - I think I’m going to lose my job.

Sometimes I think the police don’t worry about some petty crimes as they have bigger fish to fry.

請注意

魚如果離開了水怎么能存活呢？如果你碰到了令你不自在的情況，你就可以用 a fish out of water 來形容你的感覺。

例句

I felt like a fish out of water at the nursery party. I was the only dad there.

I was a real fish out of water when I first moved to London. I was used to the quiet country life and I didn’t know anyone.
