語(yǔ)言是很神奇的，有時(shí)候短短幾個(gè)字就能傳遞出豐富的意思。
就像中文里的新詞“十動(dòng)然拒、喜大普奔、累覺(jué)不愛(ài)、人艱不拆、不明覺(jué)厲……”等等，英語(yǔ)里也有很多有趣的新鮮單詞哦。
現(xiàn)在就來(lái)盤(pán)點(diǎn)一下吧。
catermelon
英文釋義：A cat in the last stages of pregnancy, so that she looks like a watermelon with legs and whiskers.

例句：
那個(gè)胖子經(jīng)常大吃甜食。
The catermelon gorged herself constantly with enormous desserts.
light-bulb moment
英文釋義：a moment of sudden inspiration, revelation, or recognition
