【句子】You've met Griffin. The kid's a doorknob. 【ModernFamilyS3E18】 【发音】/juːv/ /met/ /ˈgrɪf.ɪn/ /ðə/ /kɪdz/ /ə/ /ˈdɔː.nɒb/ /ˈdɔːr.nɑːb/ 【发音技巧】met Griffin失去爆破；kid's a连读； 【翻译】你们也见过格里芬了，他就是个蠢蛋。 【适用场合】 今天我们来学习一个单词，doorknob，这个单词本来的含义是：“门把手”； doorknob如果一旦用来描述人，指的意思是“极度愚蠢的；脑子不怎么灵光的；不怎么聪明的”；这种用法其实来源于as dumb as a doorknob；来看看这个短语所对应的英文解释； exceptionally foolish, dim-witted, or unintelligent，有点像中文里的“蠢得像一块木头”； eg: You thought you could fix the washing machine on your own, so you just started pulling it apart? I swear, sometimes you can be as dumb as a doorknob, Larry. 你以为你能自己修好洗衣机，就直接动手把它拆了？说真的，拉里，你有的时候真的是蠢得像一块木头。 eg: I used to think that she was as dumb as a doorknob when we were kids, but she grew up to be a physicist. 小的时候我还以为她笨得要命，没想到她长大以后成了物理学家。 英文中我们还可以说：as dead as a doorknob，可以理解成中文的“死得透透的”，用来描述动物；或者说某个东西“不再存在的；消失的；失灵的；不再起到作用的”，相当于be defunct； 日常生活中运用的时候，这样的两个短语当中的第一个as也会经常被省略，意思是没有变化的。 eg: A: "Is the squirrel dead? Poke it with a stick and check." B: "Yep, dead as a doorknob." A：“这松鼠死了吗？用棍子戳戳看。” B：“嗯，死得透透的了。” eg: Any animal unlucky enough to run out into this busy street will end up dead as a doorknob. 任何不幸跑到这条繁忙马路上的动物，最后都会死得透透的。 eg: Oh, that idea from last week's meeting is as dead as a doorknob—the CEO just vetoed it. 唉，上周会议上的那个想法已经凉透了，CEO刚刚否决了它。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 Are you dumb as a doorknob?
