今日短語
Away with the fairies 心不在焉、不切實(shí)際
今日短語
一說到仙女 “fairies”，人們可能會聯(lián)想到夢幻的世界。但是英國人常用表達(dá) “to be away with the fairies 飄到了仙女的國度” 來幽默地形容 “狀態(tài)、舉止奇怪，就仿佛思緒不在這個世界，心不在焉”，我們也可以用它來形容人“不切實(shí)際，異想天開”。
例句
Sorry, what did you say? I was away with the fairies. Would you mind saying it again?
不好意思，你說什么？剛剛我在開小差。你能再說一遍嗎？
