今日短語(yǔ)

如果有人因?yàn)橐恍┬∈露龀霾幌喾Q或不恰當(dāng)?shù)募ち曳磻?yīng)，那么你就可以說(shuō)“they are making a song and dance about something”；也就是漢語(yǔ)里說(shuō)的“小題大做”。不過(guò)注意這是一個(gè)非正式表達(dá)。

例句

All right, calm down! You don’t have to make such a song and dance about it. You take the remote control. We can watch what you want to. I really don’t mind.

Don’t make a song and dance about it. You don’t have to have any potatoes if you don’t want.

請(qǐng)注意

另一個(gè)和 song 歌曲有關(guān)的表達(dá)是 for a song，意思是非常便宜地。

例句
