5个雅思口语谚语的用法及详细意思解说

1、ONE-TRICK PONY

Meaning: A pony is a small horse, which is often used for shows, competitions, and exhibitions. People teach ponies “tricks” to perform at the shows. If a pony only knows one trick, then it doesn’t have a great variety of abilities. So describing someone as a “one-trick pony” means the person has only one ability or good quality that he/she is known for, and doesn’t have any other abilities.

只会一招的小马，就是形容一个人只有一个能力或者一个好的品质被大家知道，其实也没别的真没事。用中文的成语解释就是“黔驴技穷”。

2、WEASEL OUT OF SOMETHING

Meaning: Weasels have a reputation for being sneaky. If a person ' weasels out of' some responsibility, it means they abandon their responsibility or commitment in a way that is sneaky or cowardly.

形容一个人会推诿、退出(做某事)，逃避(责任)。

3、THE LION' S SHARE

Meaning：“The lion' s share” of something is the biggest part or portion.

字面意思是狮子的那一份儿，引申为最大最多的那一份儿，最大的份额。
