俚言我语

climb the wall 担心，紧张

1.🤔have a bone to pick with 挑骨头？or 就某事跟某人争论，抱怨某人

🌰例句：I have a bone to pick with you about the impolite way you spoke to my mother just now. 

翻译：你刚才对我母亲说话无礼,我要同你理论一下。

✔️ 与某人争论

️这种说法源自16世纪，是从狗啃骨头那里引申而来的。大家都知道，狗对于骨头有着极大的热情，总是啃很久，于是“a bone to pick”就被用来指代“需要长时间讨论的事情”。

2.clear the air 清新空气？or 消除不愉快的气氛；澄清事实

🌰例句：I got your back. It's time to clear the air. 

翻译：我支持你！是时候澄清真相了！

✔️消除误会

️这个习语源于这样一个事实，当空气中烟雾弥漫时，是很难看到东西的。有时候，当人们非常生气，或讨厌某个人时，他们会被这些情感影响。clear the air就是坦诚地说出问题并解决的过程。
