掃把星

英文:a walking disaster (n.)

說明:walking 在此當形容詞用,意為「活的」,如 a walking dictionary (活字典)、a walking encyclopedia (活百科全書)。A walking disaster 字面意思為「活災難」,指的是帶來災難的人,也就是我們常說的「掃把星」。

例句:

  • Kevin got fired from another job because he kept on messing up his boss’s instructions. What a walking disaster! (凱文又被炒魷魚了,因為他不斷搞砸他老闆交代的事。真是掃把星!)
  • I heard Amy fell down the stairs the other day. She’s just a walking disaster! (我聽說艾美幾天前摔下樓梯。她真是個掃把星!)
