从 1 月 22 日开始，我就开始寒假班的征程了。从早上到晚，势必是没有时间写原创文了。但是，学习还是不能停止的。年前年后我共有 12 天课，每天我会分享 5 个 idioms & phrases （习语和短语）。也就是说，如果你跟着我的节奏每天定量去学习，那么一个寒假你至少能掌握 60 个有意思的习语和短语。当然，你可能会问“为什么要学习习语和短语？”，这事儿我说了不算，在这里引用一段文字希望能让你感受到习语的用处——
Idiom: a manner of speaking that is natural to native speakers of a language
Every language has its own collection of wise sayings. They offer advice about how to live and also transfer some underlying ideas, principles and values of a given culture / society. These sayings are called "idioms" - or proverbs if they are longer. These combinations of words have (rarely complete sentences) a "figurative meaning" meaning, they basically work with "pictures".
如果你被这番话说服了，那么就行动起来吧。每个短语都会配上简单的英文注释和例句，相信对大家的理解会有帮助的 _
