have one's nose in a book
连鼻子都埋进了书本里，那是多么专心地在看书！所以这个短语就是"埋头看书，一直在看书"的意思。
例句：Bob has his nose in a book every time I see him. 我每次看到鲍勃他都在看书。
His nose is always in a book. He never gets any exercise. 他总是在看书，从来不锻炼。（这样可不好，生命在于运动，还是要注意锻炼身体哟！）
hit the books / pound the books
hit和pound都有"打击"的意思，但是这两个短语可不是说要打书本哦，而是"学习"的意思。或许可以想象成努力学习的时候会拼命翻书本，用力太猛了就有点在击打书本的感觉。
例句：I gotta go home and hit the books. I have finals next week. 我要回家学习了，下周期末考。
know someone or something like a book
如果仔细研读一本书的话就可以做到对它了如指掌吧，所以像了解一本书那样了解某人或某事就是说"对某人或某事知道得一清二楚"。
例句：We've been married now for thirty years - long enough to know my wife like a book. I can tell what she is thinking about before she knows it herself. 我们已经结婚三十年了，我对我的妻子非常了解。有的时候她自己还不清楚自己在想什么，我就已经知道了。（这样了解妻子的丈夫真好！）
in my book
相当于in my opinion，"在我看来，根据我的观点"。
例句：She's never lied to me, and in my book that counts for a lot. 她从不对我撒谎，我认为这很重要。
与之相反的就是not in my book，"我不这么认为"。
John: Do you think Fred is okay for the job? 你觉得弗雷德能胜任这份工作吗？
Mary: No, not in my book. 不，我不这么想。
be in somebody's good books
在某人的好书中？如果你被记在了某人的好人簿中，那当然是他对你很满意、对你的行为感到高兴啦。
例句：I cleaned the bathroom yesterday so I'm in Mum's good books. 我昨天打扫了浴室，所以妈妈对我很满意。（妈妈喜欢勤劳的孩子！）
by the book
照着书本做事，可想而知就是"严格遵守章法，完全按规矩办事"。常用的搭配有：go ~; do something ~; play ~; run something ~。
例句：This is a private deal - we don't have to do everything by the book. 这是私事，没必要循规蹈矩。
take a leaf out of somebody's book
从人家的书里摘取一页，其实是"效仿，模仿"的意思，因为那种举止行为能带来成功或对自己有利。
例句：Maybe I should take a leaf out of Robert's book and start coming in at ten every morning. 也许我应该学罗伯特那样每天早上十点就到。
every trick in the book
书中的所有诡计，就是指"为了达到想要的目的而所能想到的一切办法"，无论是聪明的还是狡诈的。经常的用法是use every trick in the book to do sth，就是我们所说的"无所不用其极，使劲浑身解数"。
例句：He used every trick in the book to get Susan to sign the contract. 他千方百计让苏珊签合同。
have one's name inscribed in the book of life
inscribe是"铭记，题写，雕刻"的意思，把名字写在了生命之书上，其实就是表示"死亡"的委婉语。
例句：By the time she was twenty, her parents, brothers, and sisters had all had their names inscribed in the book of life. 在她二十岁的时候，她的双亲和兄弟姐妹都已经离世了。（这个悲剧了......）
