英語成語趣談(9)in one’s birthday suit 一絲不掛;裸露

in one’s birthday suit

[俗]一絲不掛;裸露

I guess he didn’t know I was in the house. When I walked into the living room, he was just standing in his birthday suit.

我猜他當時並不知道我在屋裡。我走進起居室時,他正一絲不掛地站在那兒!

註解:

birthday意指生日,suit意指套裝;to be in one’s birthday suit, birth出生,birthday出生那天,人出生時什麼都不穿,因此,喻指一絲不掛,裸露的樣子。

suit [sju:t; su:t]套裝,西裝
