Donny 在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是吴琼要问的：毛骨悚然。

Donny: 吴琼，昨天的电影好不好看？

吴琼: 别提了，讲吸血鬼的，吓死我了。怎么说来着，I was scared to death!

Donny: I told you you would be scared to death and you didn't believe me.

吴琼: 早知道听你的就对了。特别是女主角被变成吸血鬼那段，简直毛骨悚然，吓得我汗毛都立起来了! 对了，美语里有类似的说法吗？

Donny: Yeah. We say the scene made my hair stand on end.

吴琼: hair, 是毛发，stand on end 立起来。连在一起，to make one's hair stand on end 吓得人毛发都立起来了。所以要说那一幕吓得我汗毛都立起来了，就可以讲 the scene made my hair stand on end.

Donny: Right. Speaking of blood-sucking vampires, there is another way of saying you are scared to death. You can say it made my blood run cold.

吴琼: blood 是血，cold 是寒冷。to make one's blood run cold 让血都变冷了，也就是中文里说的吓得我浑身冰凉吧？

Donny: Exactly. I am taking my girlfriend Rachel to see the movie tonight.

吴琼: 什么？Rachel 不是特别胆小吗？The movie will make her hair stand on end.

Donny: I know.... When she is scared to death, I will be there to comfort her. She will think I am her knight in shining armor.

吴琼: 啊，你想让 Rachel 觉得你是 her knight in shining armor 身穿闪亮盔甲的骑士？?；に挠⑿?？我看你啊，八成是别有用心。

Donny: (haha) 言归正传，还是说说你今天都学了什么吧!

吴琼: 第一，吓死了是 scared to death；

第二，吓得毛发倒立是 to make one's hair stand on end；

第三：吓得浑身冰凉是 to make one's blood run cold.
