These Rhyming Phrases Are 'Easy-Peasy' to Use
這些押韻片語「非常易於」使用

There are hundreds of English words and phrases that are made by putting two rhyming words together. Not only are these words fun to use in conversation, they're "easy-peasy" — or very easy — to learn.

Let's say you're going to the movies with your partner, but you get to the cinema and find that there are hundreds of people there. You could say that it's "chock-a-block," meaning that it is very full of people or things.

Your partner might suggest seeing a horror movie instead of getting tickets to the blockbuster everyone else is at the cinema to see. But you might say that horror movies give you the "heebie-jeebies." The "heebie-jeebies" is a state of being scared or worried.

When you finally choose a film to see, the tickets could cost much more than you expected. You might think to yourself, "Holy moly, these are expensive!" This phrase is used in a similar way as "oh my God," and you can say it when you're surprised by something.

Let's say you're in the car on the way home from the cinema and someone rear-ends you. After checking the damage to the car, you might say to your partner, "Don't worry, it's just a fender bender" — meaning a small accident.

英文有時會將兩個押韻的字放在一起,形成單字或片語。 在對話中使用這些字詞不只有趣,學起來也特別簡單。以下提供一些例子。chock-a-block指擠得水泄不通,充滿著人群或物品;heebie-jeebie形容焦慮不安,害怕或擔憂的狀態;Holy moly則是指我的天哪!
