二、Fun Stuff
1、Get the hang of something 学会做某事，掌握窍门
当我们说 “get the hang of something”，意思就是 “学会了做某件事情的要领，明白怎么做这件事情”。
例句
I can’t get the hang of this new computer system – could you help me, please?
我不会用这个新的计算机系统，你能不能帮我一把？

2、Once bitten, twice shy 一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳
表达 “once bitten, twice shy” 的意思是 “在第一次做某件事情时，有了不愉快的经历，因此第二次再做时会害怕、小心或忧虑”，类似于汉语里说的 “一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳”。
例句
After Fangfang was sick on the rollercoaster, I don’t think she’ll go on one again – once bitten, twice shy!
在芳芳上次坐过山车感觉恶心吐了之后，我看她不敢再坐了 —— 俗话说：一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳！

3、Rue the day 后悔莫及
表达 “rue the day” 指 “对某个情况或经历感到极度的愤怒、悲痛和懊悔”，通常用来表达我们觉得他人做错了事情，因此会 “追悔莫及”。有时候也可以说 “rue the day that happened”。
例句
She will rue the day she bought that motorbike. It looks like it’s broken.
她会后悔买了那辆摩托车的，看起来像是已经坏了。
I can’t believe he spoke to me like that in the meeting. He will rue the day that happened.
