Moonshine 的用法
這個字是「月光」之意,但也指私釀烈酒。
因為釀私酒並不合法,都是在月光底下偷偷摸摸地。
例句:Moonshine is illegally distilled homemade whisky, usually with very high alcohol content. It got its name because it was normally distilled at night "by the light of the moon." Most moonshine is distilled in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia.
4、mug shot
這不是指被馬克杯擊中。mug為馬克杯,18世紀初英國流行怪異面孔裝飾造型的馬克杯,因此mug遂有「面孔」的意思。歹徒被捕後到警察局get a mug shot,即指被拍照存檔。
例句:There is a mug shot of the escaped convict in the newspaper.
