head, 头,clouds,云,in the clouds 在云里面
那么have one's head in the clouds字面意就是把脑袋放到天上的云里面,云里面朦朦胧胧,什么也看不清,所以就用这句短语来形容心不在焉,开小差
我们汉语里面有一句坐飞机来形容开小差,心不在焉,二者都是在天空上,和英语里面的have one's head in the clouds有异曲同工之妙。
1. 上课的时候不要总是心不在焉:
Don't have your head in the clouds when you are having a class.
2. 其实Have one's head in the clouds也可以变换着说,我们可以说Someone's head is in the clouds这样一个完整的句子来形容某人心不在焉。
比如,他今天心不在焉,他是怎么了?
His head is in the clouds today. What happened to him?
