Down-to-earth 實在
如果有人說你是 down-to-earth 那么意思是說你是一個很實在的人。
今日小常識
Chinese archaeologists have unearthed nearly 120 new terracotta warriors at the Qin Shihuang Unesco World Heritage site. These soldiers were built 2000 years ago to guard the first Chinese emperor Qin Shihuang’s tomb. As well as these warriors, statues of entertainers and acrobats have also been excavated.

例句

請注意
如果某個人不是 down-to-earth, 不實在，那么我們可以形容他為 head in the clouds, 意思是和現(xiàn)實脫節(jié)或者無法集中注意力。
My son always has his head in the clouds. His teachers say he never concentrates in class!
You must have your head in the clouds if you think they're going to promote you this year.
