I was dog-tired when I got home last night.
秒懂解释
dog-tired ['dɔɡ'taiəd]
adj. [口语、常作后置定语]
极疲乏的,精疲力竭的,疲惫不堪的,累坏了的 [亦作dog-weary]
狗子在熟睡的时候,不论周围环境多嘈杂都吵不醒它。人们认为是狗子太累了,就用 dog-tired 来形容非常疲惫,精疲力竭的状态。也就是我们常说的“累成狗”。
举个栗子
I was dog-tired after working the whole day in the garden.
我在花园里干了一整天的活,累死了。
By dusk we were dog-tired and heading for home.
到了傍晚我们累趴下了,于是回家。
