I really had a cow.Diven注释：no-show 没有出现，没有露脸。出现，露脸可以表达为，show up。Have a cow 在Diven教你说英语-俚语风暴（三）中有介绍，不记得的同学赶快去复习一下吧！2. 被放鸽子 be stood upI was stood up by Paul yesterday. When I found him and asked him why today, he told me he had totally forgotten our date.Diven注释：date 一般指男女之间的约会。如果是商务约会，一般可以使用appointment和engagement。3. 忙的不可开交 be up to ones neckIm really up to my neck in work. Would you mind lending me a hand?Diven注释：up to ones neck 是一种形象的表达方式。表示事情多的像洪水猛兽，快要漫过人的脖子了。非常形象吧！4. 淡定 Dont have a cow!You look terrible. Theres nothing serious. Dont have a cow.Diven注释：Dont have a cow. 其中，cow可以理解为“母兽”。抱着一个母兽在怀里当然不能淡定。这个表达很形象。“淡定”的拓展说法：chill out 别激动！ Take a chill pill。吃颗定心丸吧！5. 人气 popularityThe actors popularity is rising.Diven注释：popularity 表示人气。过气、过时的人或物是 a has-been;东山再起是 a comeback.6. 宅男宅女 homebodyA homebody is a person who prefers to stay at home and seldom goes out.Diven注释：第一，宅男宅女叫 homebody, 或者 shut-in; 第二，一天到晚坐在沙发上看电视的人叫 couch potato;第三，说脑子要发霉了，就是Your brain will rot!7. 赘肉 spare tireNo girl wants that spare tire.
