sheets /ʃiːts/●(be) three sheets to the ˈwind (old-fashioned) (be) drunk 醉得东倒西歪◆By 11 o’clock he was three sheets to the wind and we had to take him home in a cab.到 11 点他已经烂醉如泥，我们只好打车把他送回家。 OPP stone-cold sober ORIGIN This idiom comes from sailing: if three sheets (= the ropes attached to the sails) are loose, the wind blows the sails about and the boat moves in a very unsteady way. 这个习语源于航海：如果三根帆脚索（sheets）都松了，风就会把帆吹得东摇西摆，导致船只颠簸。 |
