【English in a Minute一分钟英语】04-Dressed to kill 已有6人参与
|
|
Welcome to English in a Minute, where we teach you all about idioms in American English. Have you ever heard someone say they were "dressed to kill," don't worry, you're not in any danger -- it's just the opposite. A: Do you see that couple over there? B: Yeah, it looks like they are going into that new restaurant. They look great! A: Oh, yeah! They are dressed to kill. In American English, "dressed to kill!" is a different way of saying "dressed very attractively" or "dressed to impress." This phrase came from criminals... In the past, people who were professional criminals often dressed in fancy clothing to hide the fact that they were doing horrible things. So, if you were "dressed to kill" back then, you would be wearing a pretty nice looking outfit. And that's English in a Minute.[ 来自小组 食品科学 ] |

Dressed, as in, such a fashion to look impressive enough, for someone to compliment someone (usually a Man compliments the lady, on this situation) "if looks could kill, you'd be a weapon of mass destruction" eg:wow, Kathryn, even though this is a semi-formal, you're dressed to kill, babe! |
