That's a lot of bull!

一派胡言!

a lot of bull 在美國是一條非常流行的罵人口語，最開始從黑幫流傳出來的，這里的bull事實(shí)上原本是bullshit，即“瞎扯，胡說”的意思，所以這條口語的正確意思是：“一派胡言，胡扯，胡說八道”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"That's a lot of bull!"時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"What you've just said is sheer nonsense!"、"Your opinion is all my eye!"、"That's sheer rubbish!"。

情景對白：

Jane: Sir, can I ask for a leave tomorrow? I promised my son to watch his piano performance.

簡：老板，明天我能請一天假嗎?我答應(yīng)兒子去看他的鋼琴表演。

Boss! That is a lot of bull! Don't you understand we are at a very critical moment now?

老板：一派胡言!你難道不明白我們現(xiàn)在正處在緊要關(guān)頭嗎?

搭配句積累：

①Our boss seems to have been seriously ill.

我們老板好像得了重病。

②Some media say that your company is on the verge of bankruptcy.

據(jù)某些媒體報(bào)道，你們公司已處于破產(chǎn)的邊緣。

③It's said that you have plagiarized another company's idea.

④According to the feedback, your products are harmful to human bodies.

根據(jù)用戶反饋，你們的產(chǎn)品對人體有害。

Sheer chance quite often plays an important part in sparking off an idea.
