Welcome to English in a Minute!

A bicycle has two wheels. A car has four wheels.

But what has five wheels?

FIFTH WHEEL

Let's listen to Jonathan and Anna talk about being a fifth wheel.

Fifth Wheel 多余的人

Jonathan: Hey! Got any weekend plans?

Anna: Well, I'm going out to dinner with two couples. You know what that means.

Jonathan: Ouch! You are going to be the fifth wheel.

Anna: I know, but luckily the couples are really cool. So I won't feel too left out.

A car does not need a fifth wheel.

If someone is a fifth wheel, they may feel like an unimportant part of a group,usually a group of couples.

They may feel, as Anna says, 'left out.'

And that's English in a Minute.
