【早间答题】

cookie=饼干,那 a tough cookie=?

别查词典直接选:

A.质量过硬的商

B.过期变味的饼干

C.很有主见的人

答案选C

a tough cookie一个很有主见的人

" a tough cookie",—块硬硬的小饼干,难道是烤糊了的饼干？

“ tough"在形容人的时候,是指一个人“很坚强,很有主意,不太会受到别人的影响”,所以" a tough cookie"指的

a person who knows what they want and is not easily

influenced by other people",清楚地知道自己的目标,坚定不移,不容易受到他人影响

举个例子:

Self-confident, ambitious and positive paula is a tough cookie who is bound to do well

自信,远志,乐观, Paula坚定又有主见,注定会成功。

除此以外还可以形容

A strong, determined person who is not easily intimidated, discouraged, or defeated."一个坚强、坚定的、不容易被吓倒、泄气、打败的人

举例:

She had a difficult childhood, but she's a tough cookie. I know

shell be a success in the future

她的童年很艰苦,但她很坚强。我知道她未来会成功。
