習語怎麼說?

  Eat one』s heart out 傷心、難過

  例句:

  - Bill spent a lot of time eating his heart out after his divorce.

   Bill 自從離了婚,就總是愁眉不展的。

  - Don』t eat your heart out about my new car. Go get one of your own.

   你別看著我的新車就心裏不好過,自己去買一輛嘛。

  為甚麼這麼說?

  Make the Bbed

  (準備睡覺前)舖床

  為甚麼舖床被說成是「造」床呢?因為早先的床是草舖成的,每晚睡覺前要用地上的草「做」一個「新」床。

   Proverb諺語

  Happy is he who is content.

  知足者常樂.
