Adam喝了点酒壮了壮胆,想约Lisa出去,但是他被拒绝了。 eg: Joe gets into a lot of fights when he drinks, and I suspect that Dutch courage is to blame. Joe一喝酒总是喜欢跟别人打架,我怀疑是酒精惹的祸。 eg: It was Dutch courage that made the football fan attack the policeman. 都是酒精的作用,才会使那位球迷攻击了那位警察。 eg: I was afraid of having to tell my wife about what had happened, so I went to the pub to get some Dutch courage. 我很害怕要跟我的妻子坦白发生了什么事,所以我去了酒吧,喝了点酒壮壮胆。 【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 几杯酒下肚,Tom觉得自己能面对任何事情。
