英語口語頻道為大家整理的英語口語mp3下載：敗家子，供大家參考:)
講解：舊時牧羊人不喜歡黑色的，因為迷信認(rèn)為黑色是魔鬼的化身，會給人帶來厄運或災(zāi)禍。另外，黑羊毛不如白羊毛值錢，這也是一個原因。牧羊人會因羊群中有黑羊而詛咒不已。因此，a black sheep就引申為“敗類”“敗家子”的意思，與漢語中的“害群之馬”相近。例如：Joe is the Black sheep of his family. He splashed nearly a few years.喬是個敗家子。幾年內(nèi)他竟然揮霍掉十幾萬美元。
英語情景對話：
A :I don't know how John can put up with his son, who fools around without working.
B :He's out of John's hands. Nothing he can do about such a black sheep.
A :If I were him, I would give him a good talking-to. I would insist on his stopping fooling around like that.
參考中文譯文：
A :我不知道約翰為什么能容忍他的兒子整天不工作，瞎混日子。
B :他不服約翰的管教，對這樣一個敗家子，約翰無可奈何。
A :如果我是約翰，我會教訓(xùn)他一頓，堅持不能讓他再這么瞎混了。
