王同學(xué)在閱讀英文句子的時候看到了“behind bars”，不會翻譯詢問了英語培訓(xùn)的李老師，那么“behind bars”到底是什么意思呢？先來看兩個句子。
If he was convicted , he would spend the rest of his life behind bars .
Why are such people allowed to be free ? Why arent they all behind bars ?
是否已經(jīng)猜到behind bars 指坐牢。
對話：
James Jones is starting a new life today .
He made a terrible mess of his old life .
He has spent a year behind bars .
He has promised that he will never ever go back .
be a tall order又是什么意思呢？be a tall order 表示任務(wù)難以完成。
例句：
Finishing the work by Friday will be a tall order , but well do our best .
要在周五前完成這項工作是個艱巨的任務(wù)，但我們將會竭盡全力。
It was a tall order for the zoo to adapt a building to house the new arrivals .
對動物園來說，改造籠舍給新來的動物住是一項艱巨的任務(wù)。
