moon away 虚度时光Dont't moon away the Mid-autumn Festival.
找点事儿做吧,不要虚度了中秋佳节哦。over the moon 欣喜若狂She is over the moon about the two holidays.
连着两个节假日,她高兴极了。(呵呵,的确让人感到over the moon呢。)aim/level at the moon 想入非非, 野心太大脚踏实地,Don's aim at the moon哦~as changeable as the moon 像月亮一样善变,反复无常Exactly!用月亮来比喻善变还真是贴切呢。What can I do with her? She is as changeable as the moon.
她反复无常,我真拿她没办法。bark/bay at the moon/bay the moon 空嚷嚷,徒劳,枉费心机狗有时会对着月亮吠叫,借以吓唬月亮,可是无论它再怎么凶猛咆哮都只是白费力气而已。后来人们就用bay the moon或bark at the moon来比喻空嚷,徒劳,无事空扰。boast above/beyond the moon 捧上天, 海阔天空地吹牛对着月亮叫(bark at the moon)都是枉费心机了,boast above the moon更是吹大牛了。cast beyond the moon 痴心妄想; 胡乱猜测, 想入非非cover oneself with the moon 露宿(指流浪汉与失业者)这句英语谚语与中文中的以天为被,以地为席有异曲同工之妙呢,都是指露宿。cry/ask/wish for the moon 想做办不到的事情, 想要得不到的东西不要向你的男朋友ask for the moon了,有些幼稚了啊。dark of the moon 月黑时full of the moon 月圆; 满月时(make) believe/think that the moon is made of green cheese (要人)相信最荒唐的事; 愚蠢到极点, 愚弄人old moon in new moon's arms 新月抱残月(指上弦月出现时,另外半边受地球的反光,隐隐显出圆月的轮廓)once in a blue moon 极少; 千载难逢blue moon 本意指一个月中的第二次满月,据推算,这种天文现象至少要相隔32个月才会出现一次,也算很罕见了。因而日常生活中,人们常用once in a blue moon来形容机会难得,千载难逢。pay/offer the moon 支付一大笔款项月亮本是可望而不可得的,竟想要买下来,那岂不是要天价!praise above/beyond the moon 过分颂扬; 捧天上promise sb. the moon 对某人作无法兑现的许诺shoot the moon (为避债)乘黑夜搬家the man in the moon 月中人(指月面的黑斑); 假想的人The moon does not heed the barking of dogs. (=Does the moon care for the barking of a dog?) 月亮不理狗的狂吠; 对无稽责难置之不理。这句与上面的徒劳,枉费心机对应。The moon is a moon still, whether it shines or not. 不管显露不显露, 月亮总是月亮。The moon is not seen where the sun shines. 太阳一出,月亮失色;小巫见大来自:http://language.chinadaily.com.cn/2016-09/14/content_26796442.htm
