大家好，歡迎收聽 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。I'm Feifei.
Phil
And I'm Phil. We have an expression about things that scare you – they 'make your hair stand on end'.
Feifei
“Make your hair stand on end” 的字面意思是 “讓你的毛發(fā)都直立起來”，它類似于中文里的成語 “寒毛直豎”。當(dāng)你受到驚嚇或感到害怕時(shí)，你就可以用 “make my hair stand on end” 來告訴別人 “我很害怕，嚇得我寒毛都豎起來了”。這個(gè)成語真生動(dòng)，聽上去就嚇人！Phil, tell us what makes your hair stand on end.
Phil
I can't stand mice, and my house is full of them! When I see one, it makes my hair stand on end!
Feifei
你家有老鼠！我根本不敢想象這個(gè)畫面。快說點(diǎn)別的。What other things are you scared of? What makes your hair stand on end?
Phil
You know when you see great big spiders – really hairy ones? Even if I just think of them, they make my hair stand on end.
Feifei
大蜘蛛確實(shí)也很嚇人。難道只有動(dòng)物才能讓你寒毛直豎嗎？Is there anything else that can make your hair stand on end?
Phil
OK, maybe heights. I remember being high up on a mountain, and looking down at the rocks below. It really made my hair stand on end!
Feifei
Has anyone ever said you're easily scared? Let's listen to some more examples.
Examples
Being on a scary fairground ride makes my hair stand on end.
Hearing footsteps outside my window on a dark night made my hair stand on end.
If I saw a shark while I was swimming in the sea, it would make my hair stand on end.

你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。以上我們學(xué)習(xí)了成語 “make your hair stand on end” 的用法。它的意思是 “很害怕，嚇得人寒毛直豎”。注意， “make your hair stand on end” 當(dāng)中的代詞 “your” 可以用 “my”、“his”、“her” 等代詞來替換。比如，我們可以說 “make my hair stand on end” 或者 “make his hair stand on end”。
Phil
Another way that we say it is that something 'makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up'.
Feifei
“Make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up（嚇得人脖子后面的寒毛都立起來了）”。這個(gè)成語的意思和 “make your hair stand on end” 的意思完全一樣。And seeing as you've said that mice, spiders and heights all make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, remind me never to go on a walk in the countryside with you!
Phil
I think I need to stay in the city – too many things in the countryside make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Feifei
So, you'll definitely be here to record the next terrifying episode of Authentic Real English. See you next time!
Phil
Bye.
