A：Does Tom drink a lot?
湯姆喝酒喝得很多嗎?
B：Yes, he does. He of ten has had one to many. But I advised him not to drink too much, he just boasted that he had hollow legs and nobody had ever drunk him under the table.
是的，他經(jīng)常和很多，但是當(dāng)我建議他別喝多是，他總是吹牛，說(shuō)他的酒量打得不得了，沒(méi)人能把他灌倒。
A：That's a problem. He has sort of Dutch courage and that will egg him on in doing anything.
這可是個(gè)問(wèn)題，他在酒后逞能，什么事情都會(huì)做出來(lái)的。
注釋:
1.Dutch courage
該習(xí)語(yǔ)是因?yàn)橛⒄Z(yǔ)與荷蘭之間的恩恩怨怨，積重難反，有淵源極深，而荷蘭被稱為“海盜之國(guó)”，海盜是做事魯莽的，所以就用這個(gè)詞語(yǔ)來(lái)表示“酒后之勇”。
2.have a hollow leg：千杯不醉，喝酒海量
3.drink sb under the table：把某人灌醉
4.sort of：有幾分，有那么點(diǎn)兒
5.egg sb on：慫恿某人, 煽動(dòng)某人
