“Show a leg” 可不是露大腿的意思，理解错了会很尴尬哦！
How would you react if a foreigner says to you, “Come on, show a leg”? Don’t worry. He’s not asking you to show him your leg. “Show a leg” is a slang term for “get up”. It is said that in Navigation Times, when sailors waked the crew up, they would ask every person lying on the beds to show their legs. Sailors distinguished their gender by seeing their legs. Men had to get up immediately for work while women could sleep a little longer. It might be the origin of this slang.
如果一个老外对你说：“Come on, show a leg”你会有什么反应呢？别担心。他并不是喊你把腿展示给他看。“Show a leg”在俚语里是“起床”的意思。据说在航海时代，水手在喊船员们起床时，会让躺在床上的人把腿伸出来。他们通过腿去判断床上躺着的人的性别。如果是男的就得马上起床干活，如果是女的就可以睡久一点。这估计就是这个俚语的起源。
