地道表達(dá)：

blue in the face

小編講解：

color賦予語(yǔ)言很大的生命力和感染力。不僅其他語(yǔ)言中的語(yǔ)言詞條與顏色有關(guān)，很多形象多彩的英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)也來(lái)自于顏色相關(guān)詞語(yǔ)的搭配。這里所講的blue in the face直接翻譯為“臉上的藍(lán)色”，但是實(shí)際上是指“因極度氣憤而臉色發(fā)紫”，與漢語(yǔ)中的“面紅耳赤”相似。

支持范例：

Eg.He can write me letters till he's blue in the face, I'm not going to reply.

任他沒(méi)完沒(méi)了地給我寫(xiě)信, 我就是不回信.

Eg.He was blue in the face with cold.

他冷得臉上發(fā)青。

Eg.It was icy cold-enough to turn you blue in the face.

天氣冰冷，足以?xún)龅萌四樕l(fā)紫。

Eg.My father talked to me till he was blue in the face, but it did no good; I quit school anyway.

我老爸費(fèi)了老鼻子勁勸說(shuō)我都沒(méi)有奏效，到頭來(lái)我還是退學(xué)了。

Eg.I talked to her till I was blue in the face and she still made the same mistake.

我費(fèi)盡了口舌，她還是犯同樣地的錯(cuò)誤。

Eg.Look! I've talked till I'm blue in the face. It's out of the question.

告訴你，我已經(jīng)費(fèi)盡口舌，卻毫無(wú)成效。要說(shuō)服她真的是不可能的。

Eg.You can tell her to tidy her room until you are blue in the face, but she won't listen to you.

盡管你遍地要她把自己的房間收拾干凈，他就是聽(tīng)不進(jìn)去。
