雅思口语常用15句

高分的雅思口语很注重小词和词组的使用，并不是通篇大词大句~ 那么，哪些小词是好用又简洁的呢？今天为大家整理了口语精华20句，每个小词附英文释义和例句，理解消化记忆一步到位~ 烤鸭们速速围观学习！

Be in the air 将要发生的事情

The feeling or idea that something new is about to happen or is going to change. 这个词组还是比较常用的，而且也很形象，什么事还悬在空中，意思就是快要发生了。

Example: From the arguments going on at the meeting, it seems that a change in policy is in the air.

Clear the air 消除误会

To settle a dispute and restore good relations. 和air相关的第二个词组，可以用在协调人际关系的话题中~

Example: We had a meeting with the workers, and I think we’ve cleared the air now.

Cost an arm and a leg 极其昂贵

To be very expensive. 不知道为什么，小雅哥第一个想法是剁手党。。。

Example: I love that fur coat. However, I don’t think I’m going to buy it because it costs an arm and a leg.

A bad egg 缺乏道德的人

Somebody who has no moral principles and should be avoided. 相信很多烤鸭的第一看法是”坏蛋”，但事实上bad egg的意思更加强调道德缺失，同“坏蛋”的含义并不完全一致。

Example: You mustn’t lend Tim money, he’s a bad egg. You’ll never see him or your money again!

In the Bag 稳操胜券

Said of an achievement which is secure.  已经进包的东西就是板上钉钉的事了~

Example: We have the deal in the bag. The client came in this morning to sign the agreement.

In the balance 未知的, 不可预测的

Said when the outcome of a situation is unknown or unpredictable. 这个词组烤鸭们可能不太熟悉，说实话小雅哥第一眼看到也没想到是”不可预测的”这个意思。而且烤鸭们还要注意，这个词组一般用作表语，如果之后又原因解释，一般用负面的。

Example: His career as a pilot is in the balance, as his eyesight does not seem good enough.

Drive a hard bargain 极力讨价还价

To have the negotiating strength and skills to get the most advantageous price and conditions. 对于这个词组，烤鸭们应该很好理解。Hard和bargain两个词很形象地解释了这个词组的意思。

Example: Amanda is negotiating the best price from the suppliers. She is driving a hard bargain.

Ring a bell 看上去或听起来非常熟悉

To look, sound or seem familiar. 一般用具体的事物作为这个动词词组的主语。

Example: That face rings a bell, where have I seen him before?

Kill two birds with one stone 一石二鸟

To complete two tasks together, with less effort than doing them separately. 这个短语的字面意思非常清楚直白。

Example: Since I’d gone to the store to buy some bread, I thought of killing two birds with one stone and invited Mr. Biggs to the party.

Be in a black mood 情绪极差

To be so negative about everything that it is impossible for anyone to reason with him/her. 黑情绪，不差才怪。。。

Example: My father has been in a black mood for days, we dare not say anything to him.

Get to the bottom of something 弄清真相

To find out the truth about something. 打破砂锅问到底，中文也很形象。

Example: I’m trying to get to the bottom of why David left without saying goodbye.

Pay a call 拜访

To visit somebody. 类似pay a visit的意思。

Example: As we’re in this neighbourhood, we might as well pay the Jacksons a call, we haven’t seen them for ages.

By chance 偶然, 意外的

Unexpectedly; with no prior planning 计划外的

Example: By chance, I bumped into my wife in the shopping mall

Round the clock 夜以继日的

To do something continuously, without a break or pause. 围着钟转，一分一秒都不停歇，再形象不过了。

Example: The ambulance services worked round the clock hauling people trapped in the building to safety.

In a tight corner 处于困境

In an extremely difficult situation 被逼到一个狭小的角落，不是出于困境还是什么？

Example: Whenever I get into a tight corner, I try to rely on quick thinking to get out of it.

以上这些表达，其实都是非常实用的~大家千万不要因为他们简单就掉以轻心哦~
