为了帮助大家雅思备考，提升自己的雅思口语成绩，小编整理了雅思口语备考相关：雅思口语一些习惯用语

一：与动物相关的习语.

[实际意思] 一箭双雕；一举两得。

相信这个习语童鞋们都已经知道啦~ 但是能运用的时候记得要用哦~

2. Put on the dog

[实际意思] 炫耀、摆阔。竭力表现自我，好像自己非常重要、非常富有。但实际并非如此。

我们中文里面也有鳄鱼的眼泪这种说法哦，形容人假惺惺的掉眼泪~

4. Rain cats and dogs

不要傻傻的再用expensive这么普通的词了~ Lexical Resource UP UP UP!!!

8. An eye for an eye

[字面意思]：以眼还眼。

[实际意思]报复，复仇，惩罚。说明：A tooth for a tooth 的意思是“以牙还牙”。这两条成语可放在一起用，也可用任何一个，意思一样。

[实际意思] 指的是抓紧时间工作，强调不停顿哦~

E.g.: I have to work against the clock to finish my thesis before the holiday finishes. Otherwise my supervisor will not be happy with me.

[实际意思] 突然；没有料到。常跟动词come 连用。

E.g.: The news of his marriage came completely out of the blue. It was only last month that we learnt that he had broken with his girl friend.
