16 分钟Hi there, this is Harry, and welcome back to my podcast where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language, where we look at phrasal verbs, expressions, idiomatic phrases, everything that will help you to use English in a better way, either in your conversational English with your friends, family, colleagues, or in business English and for the podcast.
Now, if you know of anybody that you think will enjoy it, well, why don't you give them the details and they can join in?
And I will give my contact details at the end of this particular podcast and you can pass it on to them.
And if you wish to contact me, well, of course you'll have the details then.
Okay, so what are we going to talk about?
Well, today we're going to look at some idioms, and we're talking about idyms connected with friendship in a loose way.
So as always, I'll give you the specific details about these and then I'll go down through them one by one to give you some examples.
And hopefully at that stage you will get a better understanding of what they mean.
So here they are, idioms about friendship through thick and thin.
Through thick and thin.
Two peas in a podium to hit it off, build bridges.
Thick as thieves, birds of a feather.
To have someone's back, to know someone inside out.
And finally, strange bedfellows.
Strange bedfellows.
Okay, so let's go through them and see what we can make of them.
Okay, so as I said, we're talking about friendship, and this is about relationship between people, either friends in college, friends on the football team, friends from early school days, friends in the office, okay?
And it doesn't matter whether they man, man, woman, woman, woman, man, woman.
Whatever it is, it works for both and all.
Okay, so first one, through thick and thin.
