The tickets are like gold dust.
这些票很难弄到。
讲解
Gold
是“金子”,dust
有“灰尘、粉末”的意思,gold dust
就指的是“金粉”,是很珍贵,很难得的东西。所以有一个习语,like gold dust,
就是想说一个东西很难得到。比如说:球赛的决赛门票一票难求,就可以说:
The tickets for the final are like gold dust.
大家在学语言的时候,有时候很难得到反馈,Feedback are also like gold dust.
这个习语,大家用起来,可以替换be difficult to get.
发音读音上,注意 like gold dust 三个单词的连读,末尾都是辅音结尾,发音位置接近,所以省略掉,所以读起来是 like gold dust.
重点拓展我们再来学习一下和 dust 有关的的英文表达吧:
leave sb in the dust把某人远远抛在后面,使望尘莫及
She could leave every other runner in the dust.
她可以把其他的选手都远远抛在后面。

我可以轻而易举地把你甩在后面。
