Hello, I’m an very interesting and intelligent man.  Today, I and color white will be teaching you some English idioms.  I bet you have never …  Ah, the world..!  Such a beautiful place…!  Uh.. how filthy..!  The environment is really important.  And if we don’t take care of environment, then something really bad will happen.  For me it’s a black and white.  In English, if something is easy for someone to understand what’s wrong and what’s right, we say, it’s “a black and white”.  It’s… it’s black and white.  Uh, so it is..!   It really is, black and white! 

 

It’s good thing I don’t get scared very easily because this place is not very nice.  What do you mean I’m a white as a sheet?  In English, if someone is very pale because they are ill or shocked or scared, we say that is “a white as a sheet”.  Oh, come one ~  I’m brave! I love rollercoasters for example.  That’s huge.. well here I go ~  That was a real white-knuckle ride!  In English, if something is very exciting or scary, we call it “a white-knuckle ride.  Like my lessons, they are real white-knuckle ride, oh yeah… so exciting, yeah .. oh, where did everybody go?  Hello, where have everybody gone? 

 

  • pale, a. Whitish in complexion; pallid. 창백한

  • a white-knuckle ride. 이 표현은 단 한번도 들어본적 없는 것이지만, 다른 두개는 자주 듣고 사용하는듯 합니다.
