1. Snow job

说好的雪呢?有些事听起来不错，而结果却令人失望。英文里snow job指的是“靠油嘴滑舌(试图进行的欺骗或劝诱)”。例如：They’d been promised a big return on their investments,but all they got was a snow job.(有人跟他们承诺投资会有高回报，可这些只不过是花言巧语的哄骗罢了。)

2. A snowflake in hell

地狱里也会有雪花吗?也许机会相当渺茫。当你感觉一件事几乎毫无希望时，可以用上这个习语。例如：

- Do you think this will work out?

(你觉得会成功吗?)

- They have as much chance as a snowflake in hell.

(他们几乎毫无希望。)

3. Be snowed under

被埋在雪下面是什么样子?肯定不会很惬意。当你忙完了一天的工作，发现家里还有一大堆事情要处理时，你肯定要累趴下了。例如：I’d love to come, but I’m completely snowed under at themoment. (我很想来，但眼下实在是忙得没功夫。)

4. Be snowed in/up

雪下得太大了，都出不了门了，英文里可以用上面这个短语，表示被大雪困住了。例如：Theywere snowed in for a week.(他们被大雪困了一个星期。)

5. As white as snow

看到这个短语，你会不会想起白雪公主?它意指“洁白如雪”，例如：Her skin was as white as snow. (她的肌肤如雪一般洁白。)
