學期初給大家介紹了與「眼耳口鼻」有關的英語慣用語(Idioms)，反應不錯。我的學生對這組合也頗感興趣，現在再介紹另一組，亦是利用身體各部分來描繪或敘述一些與生活有關的情況，頗為有趣。這一組全是以 “h”為首的 “head, hair, heart, hand”，是否更容易記下來？有頭有髮、得心應手！
試把head, hair, heart, hand 填入下列各句子的空格內：
Manchester United gained the upper _________ in the first half of the match but finally Liverpool won.
The residents escaped by a ______________ breath just before the building collapsed.
Some of my students always have their ___________ in the clouds and cannot focus in class.
People who attend the Sunday Masses all enjoy Father Martin's sermons which always warm the cockles of their ______________.
John is very good at telling ghost stories which always make my __________ stand on end.
Mr. Gibson seems to be bad-tempered but he really has a _____________ of gold.
The students have to finish the joint project within this week, so it is a case of all ____________ to the pump.
David manages to keep his __________ above water although he is not earning much.
【答案：1. to gain the upper hand (佔了上風) 2. to escape by a hair's breath (九死一生的逃亡) 3. to have one's head in the clouds (作白日夢) 4. to warm the cockles of one's heart (使人愉快) 5. to make one's hair stand on end (使人毛骨悚然) 6.to have a heart of gold (好心腸的人) 7. to have all hands to the pump (人人出力) 8. to keep one's head above water (未舉債)】
只要多發掘不同的語法和詞彙，即能領略到英語的趣味，把學習英語變成樂趣，用英語來溝通，便自然得心應手！ ■韓 Sir
