Butterflies in the stomach, 在某个场合心里紧张,忐忑不安。
其实最初这个短语是医学术语,Wikipedia 解释说:Butterflies in the stomach is a medical condition characterized by the physical sensation of a "fluttery" or "tickling" (hence butterflies) feeling in the stomach.
后来引申的意思就是泛指紧张的心情,例如
Before the debate Jane was very nervous so I griped her hand and asked her to calm down. When her name was announced she stood up and whispered to me “I am getting butterflies in the stomach now”.
其实这个短语跟中文里有个形容词“心中如小鹿乱撞”很相似,也是同样的比拟。 |
