 口语每日一学:Blow off steam


2008-10-21 来源:国际在线 

 

        Blow off steam 减压
       
        Also, let off steam. Air or relieve one's pent-up feelings by loud talk or vigorous activity. This metaphoric term refers to easing the pressure in a steam engine.
       
        eg: Joan's shouting did not mean she was angry at you; she was just blowing off steam.
       
        Note:
       
        Blow off steam的意思是通过大声喊出来或者一些活动来释放压力,也可以说是let off steam。这种说法与早期给蒸汽机减压有关。
       
        例:Joan并非生你气才大吼的,她只是想释放点压力。
