400 867 2009英文中，有許多口語句子的意思往往不能從字面上去理解，下面我們來看看有哪些容易誤譯的句子吧。
1. Tell me about it!
A: Do you know under the newly reformed tax plan, the rich people actually pay less tax?
B : Yeah, tell me about it! My neighbor is a millionaire and he told me that his tax rate would be reduced by fifty percent.
在這里，tell me about it不是要求對方告訴你什么事，而是附和，并帶有驚訝的成分。
再如：
A: Under such harsh economic down turns, the working class can hardly make ends meet.
B : Tell me about it! In my family alone two people got laid off. I don't know how I can make the mortgage payment this month.
2. What else is new?
A : Hey, do you know the new governor is going to cut the funding for education?
B: What else is new? We all know he represents big businesses. Education is not his top priority.
在這里，What else is new表示，這種結局是預料之中的事，不算什么新聞。
所以，根據上下文，也可說“這算不上什么新聞”。
再如：
A : Yesterday my daughter gave me a gift wish list for her 15th birthday Among other things she asks for a laptop computer!
B: What else is new? At least she hasn't asked for a car. Wait till next year!
3.zero hour
(x)零點
(〇）關鍵時刻
這個慣用語始于1917年第一次世界大戰期間，用來表示發動某一項軍事行動的時刻。
負責下令的軍官會看著手表上的秒針倒數計時，一旦秒針走到零點，就會下達出動指令。
后來hour跳脫了軍事用語的局限，泛指生活中各種情況里的“關鍵、決定性時刻"
4.a babe in arms
扶不起的阿斗
解析：babe（注意！不是“baby”）在這里解釋為“天真，不諳世故而易受騙者”，如同“襁褓中的嬰兒”。
例：The chairman's son is a babe in arms.
He doesn't have the ability to be the CEO of the company.
