英語口語練習小對話 第163期:毛骨悚然
迷你對話：
A: My hair stood on end when I saw the bloody scene.
當我看到血淋淋的場面時我極度恐懼。
B: What scene?
什麼場面？
A: A kitten being run over by a truck.
一隻小貓被卡車碾死了。
地道表達：
hair stand on end
解詞釋義：
該成語源於《聖經》。在《聖經》第14節和第15節中有“恐懼使我渾身顫抖，身上的毛髮都豎起來了”。（Fear came upon and trembling... and the hair of my fresh stood up.）以此來形容一個人極度恐懼的感覺，與漢語中的“毛骨悚然”的語義相同。
支持範例：
What I pay would make your hair stand on end.
我所付的錢會使你嚇一跳。
The sight of the dead man made his hair stand on end.
看到死人嚇得他毛骨悚然。
She says that it makes her hair stand on end when she ooks down at hundreds of feet of empty air.
