“ scare the bejesus out of someone ”是什么意思?

Bejesus是指jesus (Jesus)的单词, scare the bejesus out of me是一个表达极大惊奇或恐惧的成语。这种表达与scare the hell out of someone as scare the hell out of someone含义相同。这两种表达方式只有亲密的朋友才能使用,对熟人或老年人来说可能是很不礼貌的。例子: This rat is so huge that it scared the bejesus out of me. (这只老鼠很大,我真的很惊讶。)
