地道表达
turn-off
1. 解释
Turn-off是关掉的意思，如：turn off the switch，表示“关掉开关”。在俚语中的意思是“让人倒胃口的东西”。这个源于一个比喻，即把那些“让人倒胃口的东西”当做像开关，电源一样可以关掉的东西，“啪”地一下给关掉，后来就用来比喻为“让人倒胃口的东西”。
2. 例句
e.g. Smelly feet are definitely a turn-off as far as I'm concerned.
脚要是有味可真恶心人, 这是我的看法。
e.g. The film was a complete turn-off.
这部电影真是让人到胃口。
