Answer 1

【答案】

【1】fast

【2】nervous/excited

【3】have butterflies

【4】feeling(s)

【5】不要緊張/沒關(guān)系/放松些

【解析】

本文講述了人們在緊張的時候會心跳加速，就像是蝴蝶在胃里飛來飛去，美國人經(jīng)常用這個習(xí)語來表達自己很緊張或很激動。

【1】

根據(jù)第一段中“Usually, your heart beats very fast…”可知，當(dāng)你要去給人們做演講的時候，你的心跳會很快。故填fast。

【2】

根據(jù)第二段中“They are so nervous and excited at the same time…”可知，這句話的意思是“你特別的緊張或激動”。故填nervous/excited。

【3】

根據(jù)第二段中“Actors also say they have butterflies in their stomachs before they see their movies on the theater screen.”可知，演員們在看他們的電影之前，也會說他們的胃里會有蝴蝶。故填have butterflies。

【4】

根據(jù)第二段中“Before students take a big test, they describe their feelings with this idiom.”可知，在學(xué)生參加大考之前，他們用這個成語來描述自己的感受，your表示“你的，你們的”，所以此處可以使用feeling或feelings。故填feeling(s)

【5】

根據(jù)第第一段中“It means being so nervous that you feel like there are butterflies dancing in your stomach.”可知，當(dāng)你感覺太緊張，你會覺得肚子里有蝴蝶在跳舞，所以此處those butterflies代指“緊張的感覺”，pay no attention to表示“不注意，置之不理”，所以Pay no attention to those butterflies可以翻譯為“不要緊張/沒關(guān)系/放松些”。故填不要緊張/沒關(guān)系/放松些。
