不知道各位宝贝们
有没有这种这种经历
明明学了十几年的英语
可美剧不开字幕还是看不懂？
即使打开字幕
却依然不知道好多短语什么意思？
其实这其中很重要的一个原因在于
美剧中出现的习语（Idiom）
很多是我们所不熟悉的
习语（Idiom）是什么?
Idioms are expressions which have a meaning that is not obvious from individual words.
习惯用语（idioms），简称习语，惯用语，是种固定的表达法，所以又叫做set phrases, 其真正意思往往不同于其组成部分的每个单词。
举个栗子，有这么一个习语drive somebody round the bend 表达的意思是让某人生气或者沮丧，但是我们可能无法从字面意思上去get到这个习语的意思。
