酷兔英语

one's brain child.



字面意思为"某人大脑生出的孩子",引申为"某人的计划,注意,设想等"。

在普通英语中,"某人想出来的注意或办法"一般用"one's original idea"来表示。比如: To put up an ad to find such a typewriter is Mark's original idea. 贴广告找这种打字员是马克的主意。但是在日常口语中,英美人更喜欢用"one's brain child"来表示这一概念。

例如:The English Evening was such a hit. All students had bags of fun. They especially enjoyed the games section. But you know that the Evening was the Students' Union's child. 英语晚会很成功。所有的学生都很尽兴。他们尤其喜欢游戏部分。但你知道,这场晚会可是我们学生会的心血呀。

但是,如果"主意"或"想法"为复数形式,可将其写成"one's brain children"。比如:

The new ways of teaching which have been proved every effective are brain children of all teaching staff of our department. 这些行之有效的新的教学方法都是我们系全体教师共同想出来的。
