汉语中有许多习语都和身体部位有关，英语也不例外，下面一些例子供大家参考。

1. An eye for eye, a tooth for tooth.以眼还眼，以牙还牙。例如：

A: Are you going to tell John’s supervisor what he did?
B: Sure. He told my supervisor when I did the same thing.
A: An eye for eye, a tooth for tooth.

此句源自《汉莫拉比法典》，指用对方做事的同样方法来报复。这与汉语中的说法十分相似，很好理解。

2. get cold feet 胆怯；例如：

A: What happened to Jim? I thought he would go skydiving with us.
B: He got cold feet.
有人会因为脚浸入海水觉得冷而放弃游泳，“get cold feet”由“脚变凉“而转到“胆怯”之意，十分形象。

3. I need that like I need a hole in my head.完全不需要。例如：

A: I’m having a hard time deciding what car to get.
B: Look at this one. Why not buy it?
A: I need that like I need a hole in my head.

在头上除了眼，鼻，口之外，不需要别的“洞”了，因此就转为“完全不需要”的意思。此句生动有趣，在口语中运用一下很不错哦！

4. It’s as plain as the nose on your face.很明白，很清楚。例如：

A: Do you think Nancy is going to quit? She hasn’t said anything.
B: It’s as plain as the nose on your face.
直译为“就像看你脸上的鼻子一样，我看得很清楚。”

5. Let’s not split hairs.不要拘泥于细节。例如：

A: Well, I don’t agree. I should get $5.02 and you should get $4.48.
B: Let’s not split hairs, OK?
这句话直译是“不要把头发劈开。”本来就很细的头发还要再分开是没有必要的，实际是指不要过分拘泥于细小的事情，斤斤计较。

6. The blind leading the blind.盲人指路。例如：

A: Kate asked Henry to help her start a business.
B: The blind leading the blind.
A: Yeah, Henry doesn’t know anything about business.

其实这句话是“If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”的省略形式，源自《圣经》。常常指没有实力的领导者进行领导是不会有什么好结果的。
