甜品的英文习语翻译了解一下

喜欢吃甜品吗?哪种甜品是你的最爱,除了美味之外,你对甜品了解多少,据说有许多英文习语都与甜品有关。甜品翻译看一下。


吃货福音,你想不到的菜单翻译

1. piece of cake

大家对这个习语很熟悉啦,和中文里的“小菜一碟”类似,形容非常容易的事情。

The exam was a piece of cake.
考试很简单。

还有一个有趣的习语easy as pie,像做馅饼一样简单,也形容很容易,不费吹灰之力。

2. have your cake and eat it (too)

鱼与熊掌无法兼得,你怎么能吃掉蛋糕而又保有它呢?所以说这个习语多用于否定句。

You can't have your cake and eat it - if you want more local services, you can't expect to pay less tax.
你不能二者兼得——想获得更多的地方服务就不能指望少付税金。

Roger can't make up his mind whether to go to college or get a job. You can't eat your cake and have it, too.

罗杰下不了决心是上大学还是找工作, 两者不可兼得。
