【bee’s knees】
Bees carry pollen(花粉)back to the hive(蜂巢)in sacs on their legs. It is tempting to explain this phrase as alluding to the concentrated goodness to be found around a bee’s knee.
“Bee’s knees”原意为“蜜蜂的膝盖”。蜜蜂腿上有花粉筐,能携带花粉回巢,因此在蜜蜂腿上能找到珍贵的花粉。“Bee’s knees”可以用来形容出类拔萃的人或事。比如:
1)I know Ari. He’s the bee’s knees.
我认识阿里,他是一个十分杰出的人。
2)You are the bee’s knees.
你是行家里手。
3)If something was the best of its kind, youmight say it was the bee’s knees.
