有个客户说了这句话,我不太明白,“茅塞顿开”?

ring a bell是口语用法,意思是“记得”。

这里有一段对话,体会下ring a bell的用处吧(偶其实是想得小红旗,呵呵)

LL: Hey, Li Hua, does the name "Laura Wilson" ring any bells for you?

LH:Laura Wilson?不是那个上星期我们在网球场上碰到的那个金发女孩嘛?她为什么要为我打铃呀?她和打铃有什么关系?

LL:Oh, no! If someone asks you if something "rings a bell," then he is asking if you remember it. I just got a phone message from Laura Wilson and I can't remember who she is.

LH: Larry, 你年纪轻轻,怎么那么健忘!Laura Wilson上星期在网球场上还跟我们说她准备去当职业网球手。

LL: Oh, now I remember who she is. Once you mentioned her plan to be a professional tennis player, then her name rang a bell with me.

LH: Larry, to ring a bell这个说法很有意思。你刚才问我,Laura的名字有没有ring a bell,就是在问我记不记得Laura。那也就是说,要是我记得的话,那我脑子里就会个铃声。

LL: It's a very vivid expression and easy to remember. Right?

LH: 对,我们和她说好下个周末一起打网球,你还记得吗?Does that ring a bell?

LL: Yeah, that rings a bell. What time were we supposed to meet
