翻譯公司帶你學(xué)雙語(yǔ)知識：酒飲別名liquid courage

看影視劇的時(shí)候經(jīng)常聽(tīng)到有人說(shuō)：“酒能壯人膽?！辈簧僦魅斯谔ど厦半U之旅前都會(huì )喝上幾杯。這樣看來(lái)，勇氣可能也不是與生俱來(lái)的哦。

Liquid courage is a nickname for alcoholic drinks. It is so named because alcoholic drinks seem to have a fortitude-enhancing effect, making you courageous enough to talk to people you wouldn't otherwise talk to, and not care about things you ordinarily would.

Liquid courage（字面意思為“液體勇氣”）是對酒精飲料的一個(gè)戲稱(chēng)。之所以有這個(gè)戲稱(chēng)是因為酒精飲料似乎有助長(cháng)勇氣的功效，喝了之后能夠讓人有膽量跟平時(shí)不太接近的人搭話(huà)，或者變得對平時(shí)很在意的事情不那么關(guān)注了。

For example:

Adam got some liquid courage up and tried to ask Lisa out, but he was turned down.

亞當喝了幾杯酒壯膽之后試圖約麗薩出去，可惜被拒絕了。
