Can anybody help me with these two words? 厚&薄. Hello, there all. My question is how to express these two things in English? Please check if I use them right or wrong. You should wear a thick jacket because it's freezing outside. My textbook is vert thick. It's nearly 500 pages, Even though it's a thin jacket , it can help me get rid of the sunburn. How thick is the floor? Thanks a lot.

'As thick as a brick' is an insult, of course ... if it is true yo can say it, but don't want them to hear it unless you are deliberately insulting them - 'Oh, that Tom, he's as thich as a brick' yes, please wear your thick (or heavy) jacket.

Thanks laogui32. This phrase is funny- as thick as a brick=笨蛋. Could I say "Tom is as thick as a brick"? (Sorry fot Tom :) ) One more question. How to say '天气很冷,请穿一件厚外套.' in English? Is 'It's pretty cold outside, please put on your thick jacket.' right? Thanks. :)

There are MANY uses for thick, and many different meanings, thin too... Biru shuo - As thick as thieves - extremely close; as thick as a brick = bendan; through thick and thin; the thin edge of the wedge; the wicket keeper took a catch off a thick edge (cricket)
