如何用英語表達筋疲力盡

累慘了、累趴下了、累死了...都能用來形容筋疲力盡的感覺，可它們在英文中又該如何表達呢?現在就告訴你!

一、習語：

dead on one’s feet

[習語點津]

因工作性質的原因，售貨員或士兵都需要長時間站立。這一習語就表示“感到雙腳很累;筋疲力盡”。

例：Mom was in the kitchen all day and was dead on her feet.媽媽在廚房忙活了一整天，累得筋疲力盡。

fit to drop

[習語點津]

drop意為“倒下”。這一習語用來形容“疲憊得快要癱倒在地上”，與be ready to drop同義。

例：After the hike they were fit to drop.徒步旅行之後，他們累得快要癱倒在地上。

二、口語：

1.I’m so spent.我太累了。

[地道解答]

一個人消耗過多力氣後，肯定會感到筋疲力盡。在這句話中，spent作形容詞，意為“筋疲力盡的.”。

例：I was very spent so I went to bed early.我太累了，所以很早就睡覺了。

ing two jobs can really wear me out.幹兩份工作真能把我累死。

[地道解答]

wear sb. out表示“使某人疲憊不堪”。wear的形容詞weary也可以表示“疲憊的”。

例：The journey wore him out, and he went straight to bed as soon as he got to the hotel.旅途令他疲憊不堪，所以他一到賓館就直接去睡覺了。

[拓展]

wipe sb. out和knock sb. out的含義和用法與之相同。

例：Standing on my feet all day really wipes me out.整天站着真把我累死了。

3.I’ve got to sit down--I’m done in!我得坐下，我累壞了!

[地道解答]

be done in表示“累壞了;精疲力竭的”。

[拓展]

be done for意為“遭殃了;完蛋了”。
