That's a lot of bull!
一派胡言!
a lot of bull 在美國(guó)是一條非常流行的罵人口語(yǔ),最開(kāi)始從黑幫流傳出來(lái)的,這里的bull事實(shí)上原本是bullshit,即“瞎扯,胡說(shuō)”的意思,所以這條口語(yǔ)的正確意思是:“一派胡言,胡扯,胡說(shuō)八道”。因此,當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"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!"。

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?
