有趣的英语冷知识（50）You're a pill你是个药片吗？不，你被嫌弃了！
Pill这个单词我想很多人都认识，是大家常见的药片的意思。英语中有一个很常见的俚语You're a pill，如果你理解成你是个药片，那就有点尴尬啦，意思差得太远了，别人在嫌弃你呢。Pill除了本意药片之外，还有个英语解释：an annoying person（令人讨厌的人，烦人精），这是个很高频的用法。所以，You're a pill的实际意思是：你真烦人；你太讨厌了。
比如：
Susan is such a pill , she always has opinions about everything.
Susan太让人讨厌了，她总是自以为是。
She always said you'd become a pill if you ever made it big.
她总是说你一旦有点成就，马上就会变成讨厌鬼。

Laura你知道吗？你是我的朋友，但有时候你也挺烦人的。
Don’t be such a pill.
别特么这么烦人！
Jay is being such a pill today. That's why I don't like him.
Jay今天太让人讨厌了。这就是为什么我不喜欢他。
