其实小编老板说的"You re really something"不是“你是个东西”×这个意思,而是
“你真厉害”,“你666”√
的意思。
something 除了表示“某物”还可以用来表示“
真厉害、很重要
”的意思。
牛津释义
If you say that a person or thing is something or isreally something, you mean that you are very impressed by them.当你形容某人或某物是"something"时,这说明你对它们印象极其深刻。
例句:
Jane has been quite something since she was in college.
在大学简妮就是个风云人物了。
The Eight Hundred was really something!
《八佰》那部电影很棒!
不过注意!这个表达在某些场景下也可能会有不同的含义,例如:
My new phone broke the first day I had it. It’s really something!
