(五) 酗酒:
1. hit the bottle : to start to drink a lot of alcohol regularly, especially in order to forget your problems
备注: ''hit the bottle'' 是非正式的用法。
例:
When his wife died he hit the bottle again. (老婆死后,他又开始酗酒了。)
My sister's been hitting the bottle a lot lately and her work is starting to suffer. (我姐姐最近酗酒,工作情况越来越糟。)
补充: 类似用法还有 ''take to the bottle'' 等等。
例:
After his divorce he took to the bottle. (离婚后,他开始酗酒。)
He says he's lost too many years to the bottle, and that he's giving up alcohol. (他说他酗酒太多年了,现在正在戒酒。)
2. drown your sorrows : to drink a lot of alcohol with the purpose of getting drunk, in order to forget your problems
例:
After his girlfriend left he spent the evening drowning his sorrows in a local bar. (他那天跟女友分了手,然后在附近的酒吧买醉。)
You can't just sit around day after day drowning your sorrows in whiskey. (你们不能每天就坐在这借酒消愁。)
(六) 酒鬼:
1. alcoholic : someone who drinks too much alcohol and cannot stop
例:
I usually have a drink or two after work, but I don't think I'm an alcoholic. (我每天下班都会喝一两杯,但我认为我不算酒鬼。)
2. drunk : someone who is drunk or who often gets drunk - use this especially about someone you see in a public place such as a street or a bar
例:

5. have a drink problem : to be unable to stop the habit of drinking too much alcohol, so that it has a bad effect on your life

例:
My sister has a drink problem but she won't admit it. (我姐姐酗酒,但她自己不这么觉得。)
From everything you tell me, it sounds as if your husband may have a drinking problem. (从你的描述看,你丈夫应该是酗酒。)
6. lush : someone who is often drunk - often used humorously
备注: ''lush'' 常用于美式英语口语中,有点开玩笑的意思。
例:

What are you drinking, you big lush? (你在喝什么?酒鬼。)
学习提升英语的,还可以试试以下几个方面,我认为还是很有帮助的
1、加强英语的词汇量和语法方面的知识,这是基础。
2、多朗诵一些脍炙人口的英文,最好是会背诵,培养语感。
3、听你喜欢的英语歌曲,还有看欧美电影,保持兴趣的同时学到口语。
4、若有机会的话,跟老外多说英语。比如现在的网上英语学习就可以和外教一对一进行学习和试听。
