上个周末英国下大雪了！尤其英国北部冷成汪不说，还交通瘫痪了。
大家都知道雪的英文是"Snow"，可是"Snow"加上别的词语就不只是"雪"这么简单了~
1. Snow job
An effort to deceive, overwhelm, or persuade with insincere talk, especially flattery. 这个短语不是雪地工作的意思，而是形容人花言巧语，油嘴滑舌。
例句：
The whole thing is just another snow job by the government. （这整件事都是政府在油嘴滑舌罢了。）
They'd been promised a big return on their investment, but all they got was a snow job. （有人和他们承诺这次投资会有高回报，可是这只不过是花言巧语罢了。）
2. A snowflake in hell
"Snowflake"是雪花的意思，在地狱里会有雪花吗？显然不会，这个短语就是形容希望渺茫，几乎不可能的意思。
例句：Mary wants to win the competition without any practices？ That is as much chance as a snowflake in hell. （Mary不练习就想赢得这场比赛吗？这几乎是不可能的。）
3. Be snowed under
大家有没有想过被困在雪下是怎样的感受呢？应该会挣扎着很难起身吧。这个短语的意思就是有许多繁琐的事情要处理，脱不了身。
例句：I would like to come to the party with you, but I am afraid I am snowed under at the moment. （我也很想和你去party，可是我实在没法脱身。）
4. Be snowed in/up
这个短语就是形容被雪困住了，雪太大出不了门。以后就不用说一句长长的，I can not go out because of the heavy snow 啦。
直接说：I am snowed in/up. （我被大雪困住了。）
5. Snow sb into doing something
To persuade someone to believe or support something, especially by lying to them，这个短语在美语中比较常用，意思是说服某人去相信某件事情，多数是贬义，形容欺骗某人。
例句：Millions of readers were snowed into believing it was a true story. （读者们都被他们说服并且相信这是个真实的故事。）
