can't teach an old dog new tricks 人变老很难改变自己的习惯

You know what? You can't teach an old dog new tricks. We'll just call on the phone.你知道吗,老狗学不会新把戏。我们就打电话吧。(有可能你教他怎么用社交网络,但是他还是不会,就要打电话)

 

learn the ropes学习怎么做事情 (习语可能来自航行。你需要学习如何使用各种不同的绳子来驾驶你的船。)

When you join a company for the first time, at the beginning you don't know where thecopy machine is, you don't know where the fax machine is,you don't know how to do things around the office, so at the beginning you have to learn the ropes, learn how everything works, and then you become adjusted.如果你第1次加入一家公司,一开始你不知道复印机在哪里,传真机在哪里,你不知道怎样在办公室做事,一开始你要学会做事情,了解一切是如何运作的,然后你就会适应。

 

teach someone a lesson惩罚某人

I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget.

我要给你上一节你不会忘记的课。(某人对我做了不好的事情,我想复仇,我想给他们上一课)

 

to school someone让某人窘迫

If I'm playing basketball with a friend of mine and, you know, I'm trying to do all these things and then suddenly he just steals the ball and he goes and doesa 360 slam dunk, he schooled me.He showed me how real basketball players play and I am nothing. So he embarrassed me, he schooled me in basketball or any situation.

如果我和朋友一起打篮球,我试着去做所有这些事情,然后突然他就断了球,然后他去做了一个360度扣篮,他使我窘迫。他向我展示真正的篮球运动员打球的方式,而我什么也不是。所以他让我窘迫,他在打篮球或者其他情况下让我窘迫。

 

'A' for effort你失败了,你没有把工作做好

If somebody says: "You get an 'A' for effort", it means: "I really appreciate that you tried so hard, but it's not very good.如果某人说:"You get an 'A' for effort",意思就是:“我很欣赏你的努力,但是你做的不是很好。
