“我饿了”你还在用 I'm hungry 来表达?out啦,除了hungry,英语里有很多非常地道的表达方式,在英美人日常生活当中几乎天天用到,今天就和大家一起来学一学!
be starving
starve作为动词,是饥饿,饿死的意思,to be starving 表示非常饿,是口语中非常实用的表达方式,如果后面再加上 to death 则表示饿得要死啦。
I’m starving. I really need to grab something to eat now.
我快饿死了,我真的要吃点东西了。
Honey, is lunch ready? I’m starving to death!
亲爱的,午饭好了吗?我饿的要命啊。
could eat a horse
字面是饿的可以把整匹马给吃下去,当然并不是真的要吃下整匹马,在此是形容特别饿,饿得不行,得要吃东西的意思。
Oh man, I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse.
嘿哥儿们,我饿得不行了。
You know what. I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse.

be growling
My stomach is growling.我肚子饿得咕咕叫,得要吃东西啦。
My stomach is growling. I gotta get something to eat.

My stomach is growling. I haven’t eaten all day.

have a wolf in my stomach
I have a wolf in my stomach.我胃里有只饿狼?不是哦,千万不要逐字翻译英文句子,这是说你胃空空荡荡的,恨不得马上就要如狼似虎地进行狼吞虎咽了。
I haven't had anything since this morning. I have a wolf in my stomach.
打从早上开始我就啥也没吃,我饿得不行了/ 我快饿坏了~

可以吃下一头牛,和刚才的吃下一匹马类似,都是比如饿得厉害,想大量吃东西。ox是英文里是公牛,和bull一样的意思。
