suffer-in-silience 默默地忍耐
美語裡面真的有學不完的用法，那天聽到這詞，才曉得原來可以用得這麼簡潔，不然我自己可能會講 stand it without crying out loud...
Example: she is the kind of suffer-in-silence. No one could easily break into her heart.

Nicole's Birthday 妮小可的生日
今天是妮小可31的生日，非常歡喜地買了一個蛋糕回中央路打麻將渡過，沒有禮物的生日，再過一些時間，就不會再出現了dear baby。
Example: Happy birthday to Nicole.

take turns 輪流
turn有風水輪流轉的感覺，所以當風水轉到你的時候，就是換你的機會來囉。
Example: We take turns having our clothes washed.

dog tired 累得跟狗一樣
我一直不解的是，身為一條狗有那麼累嗎？為何不說 cow tired?? 牛要做工，應該比較累一點吧？像我最近也累得和狗一樣，除了證照考試，公司還要內部考試，考完試還得利用假日參加公司舉辦的有的沒有的會議，那還要拓展業務業績，但又沒有領很多錢，腦子快打結、內心很掙扎、認知很失調(cognitive dissonance)，馬的！很辛苦耶！
Example: I am really feeling dog tired after taking over this job that I am not sure if I like.

on a regular basis 經常/頻率很高
新聞或較正式的文章裡面，會用這個片語來代替often，看起來就滿有英文的感覺，所以和大家分享。
Example: I am trying to maintain this blog on a regular basis, because I hope this will be a place where everyone can actually learn some English.

be all ears 全神貫注
當你全部都變成耳朵的時候，還不是全神貫注是什麼，對吧？
Example: Whenever your boss speaks about the assignments, you are supposed to be all ears.

Merry Christmas 聖誕快樂
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells – lyrics

look over one's shoulder 學習
這句話是我在美國工作的時候學到的。有一天老闆找我進他的辦公室，準備教我一些工作上的專業，他就說了這句話。那時我真的聽不懂什麼意思，請教了他之後才告訴我就是別人教你的時候，你站在他的後面從背後學習他做事情的方法，所以就是學習囉。
Example: Brad, try to learn how I maintain this database by looking over my shoulder.
