雅思口語素材：悠閑舒適的生活
連續兩天，早晨5點就起床了。起來洗澡，洗衣服，然后坐在電腦前面寫東西，喝一杯白開水。外面依然是冬天和暗夜。
閱讀的心得，和大家分享。
an entirely new phase of existencea butterfly idleness;nothing to do, nobody to be responsibleto, and untroubled with financial uneasiness...San Francisco was Paradise to me. I lived at the best hotel, exhibited my clothes in the most conspicuousplaces, infested the opera...I spend monty with a free hand, and meantime watched the stock sales with an interested eye.
尤其是后面兩個句子，說花錢大手大腳，就是spend money with a free hand非常形象的表達，如果說揮金如土可以寫成 squander money like water 但是最為美麗的是后面卻用了一個interested eye 這個表達方法。
infeste the opera也是一個非常有意思的說法，infest有兩個含義，第一是：to spread or swarm in or over in a troublesomemanner 比如 a slum infested with crime就是說一個犯罪成災的貧民窟，再比如 shark-infested waters說這片水域里面鯊魚非常多。
第二個是 to live in or on as a parasite 像寄生在上面似的。如果說某人對非常上癮，就可以說infest。
首句中Butterfly idleness說作者自己清閑得如同蝴蝶一樣這樣的修辭是我們自己創造不出來的。而通過閱讀，就學會了。
如果雅思口語考題問你閑時候都怎么度過，你就可以用到這個單詞了。你可以說：...actually seldom do I have free time because I spend much time in working and learning. Learning is a life-long process. I learn music, language, and movie. Nevertheless, occasionally, I enjoy the butterfly idleness. It is an entirely new phase of existence. However, I am not the one who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth so I dare not spend the money with a free hand...
