有趣的英語冷知識（50）You're a pill你是個藥片嗎？不，你被嫌棄了！
Pill這個單詞我想很多人都認識，是大家常見的藥片的意思。英語中有一個很常見的俚語You're a pill，如果你了解成你是個藥片，那就有點尴尬啦，意思差得太遠了，别人在嫌棄你呢。Pill除了本意藥片之外，還有個英語解釋：an annoying person（令人讨厭的人，煩人精），這是個很高頻的用法。是以，You're a pill的實際意思是：你真煩人；你太讨厭了。
比如：
Susan is such a pill , she always has opinions about everything.
Susan太讓人讨厭了，她總是自以為是。
She always said you'd become a pill if you ever made it big.
她總是說你一旦有點成就，馬上就會變成讨厭鬼。
You know, Laura, you may be my friend, but you can be a pill sometimes.
Laura你知道嗎？你是我的朋友，但有時候你也挺煩人的。
Don’t be such a pill.
别特麼這麼煩人！
Jay is being such a pill today. That's why I don't like him.
Jay今天太讓人讨厭了。這就是為什麼我不喜歡他。
