24. Beat the band
英文解释:with much noise, excitement, or commotion; very much, very fast; outdoing all others (精力充沛地, 超过一切地 猛烈地, 出众, 显眼).
来源:This saying started in the late 1800s in Britain and then traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. One explanation of its origin is that since a band is usually loud, exciting, and colorful, anything that "beats the band" must be louder, more exciting, and more colourful. The other explanation is that people sometimes run ahead of a marching band to beat it to a certain spot. This idiom can also be used to express amazement for any astonishing achievement, as in "She can drive the tractor and she's only eight years old. If that doesn't beat the band!"
造句:He’s selling computers to beat the band since he started advertising (here means very fast and very hard).
Or it rained all day to beat the band
(大雨倾盆,终日不止。)

25. Beat your swords into plowshares
英文解释:to stop fighting and turn your attention toward peaceful activities (化干戈为玉帛).
来源:This is another of the many famous sayings that come from the Bible. In Isaiah 2:4 there appears the following sentence: "And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Swords and spears represent weapons of war. Plowshares and pruning hooks represent farming tools, which are symbols for all peaceful activities. So when a modern nation "beats its swords into plowshares," it could be manufacturing passenger planes instead of bombers, or VCRs instead of military radar systems.
造句:The prime minister would like them to beat their swords into plowshares and abandon all plans for war.

铸剑为犁,化剑为犁(百度)
联合国大厦门前有个铸剑为犁的雕像  这座青铜雕像是由叶夫根尼·武切季奇(Yevgeny Vuchetich)为了纪念第一次世界和平大会的召开而创作的,雕塑中的男子一手拿着锤子,另一只手拿着他要改铸为犁的剑,象征着人类要求终结战争,把毁灭的武器变为创造的工具,以造福全人类。

26. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
英文解释:There is no standard for beauty, so what one person likes or sees in someone or something is not necessarily what others see; different people have different opinions. 情人眼里出西施
来源:Many writers in the past have stated the idea that what one person thinks is ugly, another person may think is beautiful. The "eye" is really the mind, thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the "beholder," or the person who is looking at the person or thing.
造句:Zoey thinks her dog's haircut is cool. I guess beauty is the eye of the beholder.

27. Bed of roses
英文解释:a wonderful, pleasant situation or position; an easy, comfortable life. (幸福开心、舒舒服服、安乐窝,称心如意)
来源:English poets have used this phrase for centuries. Roses are such lovely, sweet-smelling, soft-petaled flowers that a bed of them suggests a lovely, sweet, and soft condition. The meaning was stretched to mean any easy and comfortable situation in life. However, if you really think about it, roses have thorns and a real bed of roses would probably be anything but comfortable. A similar expression used today is "bow of cherries."
造句:Compared with my old school, this one is a bed of roses.

'bed',床。人生大部分时间都在bed上。'bed of roses' 是玫瑰花床,想象一下躺在铺满无比芬香的玫瑰花床上是多么的享受,多么的心旷神怡。比喻幸福开心、舒舒服服、安乐窝,称心如意。经常人们加No/Not bed of roses来形容他们的生活多么的精疲力竭,多么的焦头烂额,多么的糟心。

28. Bee in your bonnet
英文解释:a crazy idea; an obsession with an idea (异想天开、胡思乱想、念念不忘,想的入了迷)
来源:This 16th-century expression was originally "to have a head full of bees," but it changed to "bee in one's bonnet" in Robert Herrick's "Mad Maid's Song", a poem written in 1648. It sounds better this way because of alliteration--both words beginning with the same letter. If you have a crazy idea and can't talk about anything else, it's like having a bee stuck in your hat. A similar expression is to have "bats in your belfry".
造句:Ms Zoey thinks she can teach us science. She must have a bee in her bonnet.


To have bats in your belfry

29. Beggars can't be choosers
英文解释:needy people have to take whatever they can get and cannot be concerned about the quality if they cannot afford to buy it for themselves (人在屋檐下,不得不低头;饥不择食).
来源:this proverb has been around since the mid-1500s. it means that people who need something but who have little or no control over their situations can't choose what they get. They have to accept what is offered.
造句:Beggars can't be choosers. If you don't have money to go out for pizza, you'll have to eat in the cafeteria.

有时候碰到乞丐像你讨食,你给他了之后还挑三捡四的,形容的就是"beggers can't be choosers" (乞丐没得挑),形容即使自己并不喜欢或满意,但毕竟有求于人,当然有什么就来什么。中文的另一个成语‘饥不择食’也有此意,它的意思是说需要急迫,顾不得细加选择。和 Don't look a gift horse in the mouth(不要挑选别人家送來的礼物)有点相似。

30. Behind the eight ball
英文解释:in trouble or out of luck; in a difficult position or in a bad situation with little hope of winning (处境岌岌可危的, 得胜渺茫的)
来源:this American idiom from the early 1900s comes from billiards. In the game kellypool you have to hit numbered balls into pockets of a billiard table in numerical order, except for ball number eight, which is to be pocketed last. However, if the eight ball is very close to the ball you’re trying to hit, you’re in trouble. That’s a bad position to be in. today we say that anyone “behind the eight ball” is experiencing a lot of bad luck. Other similar idioms are “in a pretty kettle of fish”, “up a creek”, “in a pickle”, “in the dog house”, and “in hot water”.
造句:My father caught me napping in the hammock instead of mowing the lawn. I’m really behind the eight ball now.

31. Bells and whistles
英文解释:impressive accessories, especially flashy, high-technology features and frills, which may sometimes be more decorative than necessary (附加特色, 点缀品…).
来源:This modern phrase became popular with the development of many kinds of new electronic and computerized equipment. The “bells and whistles” represent all sorts of super high-tech features that you don’t really need in a basic model but which make a product more fun to use (and more expensive). Note: “bells and whistles” don’t have to make any sounds.
造句:Our teacher says we’re getting a new computer with all the latest bells and whistles: CD-ROM, modem, color printer, full multimedia.

32. Better half
英文解释:either partner in marriage (老公、老婆)
来源:Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who favored strict religious discipline. They said that each person ws made up of two halves, body and soul, and that the soul was the better half because it was the spiritual side. Sir Philip Sidney, and English writer, said that a marriage was made up of two halves, and that the better half was the better spouse. Today when the phrase “better half” is used, it almost always means someone’s wife, although there’s no reason why a wife can’t use the term to describe her husband. In either case, “better half” is a compliment.
造句:I’m not making a decision until I check with my better half.
