少兒英語口語：15個(gè)有關(guān)“熱”的單詞如何表達(dá)(2)

　　6 – a hot spot

　　熱點(diǎn)

　　This expression has two meanings。 It can refer to a region where there is a lot of active conflict and violence。 For example， if two countries were fighting about some territory on their border， and attacking each other， that would be a hot spot。 It can refer to a place that is lively (a lot of activity) and popular， like a nightclub or a busy tourist place。

　　這個(gè)表達(dá)有兩層含義。它可以指沖突暴力發(fā)生較多的地方。例如，如果兩個(gè)國家如果在邊界上發(fā)生了領(lǐng)土沖突，并開始互相襲擊，這個(gè)區(qū)域就會(huì)成為一個(gè)“熱點(diǎn)”。它同時(shí)也可以指城市里某個(gè)充滿活力、人氣旺盛之地，比如說夜店或人流較多的旅游景點(diǎn)。

　　7 – a hot-button issue

　　熱點(diǎn)話題

　　A hot-button issue is a controversial topic that people often have strong opinions about， so it can make people get passionate， emotional， or even angry when discussing it。 Things like abortion and immigration tend to be hot-button issues。

　　hot-button issue指有爭議性的話題，人們通常會(huì)對(duì)其有鮮明強(qiáng)烈的立場，因此這樣的話題會(huì)讓人投入討論，情緒化，甚至在討論的時(shí)候生氣。通常墮胎、移民這樣的話題會(huì)是熱點(diǎn)話題。

　　8 – hot off the press

　　新鮮出爐(指書、雜志、報(bào)紙等)

　　9 – full of hot air

　　夸夸其談

　　Saying someone is full of hot air means the person is full of nonsense; they are saying things that are ridiculous and shouldn’t be taken seriously。 For example， “Marketers are full of hot air。 They make all these promises and then things are never as good as they claim。”

　　如果說某個(gè)人“full of hot air”，那就意味著這個(gè)人在夸夸其談，總說一些無厘頭的事情，不能當(dāng)真。例如，“搞推銷的只會(huì)瞎扯，他們就會(huì)開空頭支票，最后結(jié)果沒有一個(gè)像他們承諾的那樣好。”

　　10 – hot under the collar
