美国习惯用语：毫不出色 相当平庸(音频)

例如，在今天要学的第一个习惯用语里shakes就是名词，而且根据习惯这个短语里的shake还带有复数词尾-s。这个习惯用语是：no great shakes。No great shakes这个习惯用语听来意思是没引起多大的.震动。换句话说也就是平凡普通、中不溜秋的东西或者事情。

我们来听个例子。说话的人在对朋友评论自己昨晚看的一场电影。我们听听他是否欣赏这部片子。

例句-1：Well, it was no great shakes. The story was mediocre and the acting was just so-so. I was bored except for that new actress - she can’t act but she’s a beautiful woman.

他说：嗯，这片子毫不出色。故事情节一般，演技也不过如此。除了里面的一位新的女明星之外，其它方面都让我觉得腻烦。这位新星不会演戏，但她是个美女。
