美國(guó)俚語: (the)Finest,Bravest…

2006-09-04 09:12
朋友剛到紐約,發(fā)e-mail說不讀報(bào)、不看電視、只死啃教科書的英語學(xué)習(xí)法實(shí)在太危險(xiǎn)。比如,學(xué)了這么多年英語,拿起《紐約郵報(bào)》一片茫然,在紐約,媒體對(duì)警察、消防隊(duì)員、清潔工,都有不同的俚語稱謂。

Go scot-free: 安然無恙,逍遙法外

2006-08-30 09:00
雜志上讀到了這句話:“He has done serious wrong to his friends. You just wait and see. They will not let him go scot-free。” 依據(jù)句子間的邏輯關(guān)系,“not go scot-free”應(yīng)該理解為“不會(huì)放過他”或“饒不了他”。

趣解“Toady”(馬屁精)

2006-08-23 16:08
發(fā)現(xiàn)沒?toady(馬屁精)在構(gòu)詞上蠻有意思。如果去掉詞綴-y,toad(y)就變成了“癩蛤蟆”,難道“溜須拍馬者”與“癩蛤蟆”之間有什么聯(lián)系?

“哼哼哈哈”怎么說?

2006-08-16 09:33
“聽他說話真急人,哼哼哈哈老半天,也沒哼出名堂來!”“哼哼哈哈”或“嗯嗯呃呃”常用來形容某人說話吞吞吐吐﹑支支吾吾。在英語中,“哼哼哈哈”用hem and haw來表示。

老鼠給貓掛鈴鐺?!

2006-08-09 09:01
試想一下,讓一只老鼠給貓脖子上掛鈴鐺,那會(huì)是什么概念?風(fēng)險(xiǎn)系數(shù)實(shí)在太大,除非這只老鼠撐破了膽。短語bell the cat(挺身而出)確實(shí)源于寓言故事“老鼠給貓脖子上掛鈴鐺”。

Mermaid(美人魚)的來歷

2006-08-03 13:00
“她恬靜嫻雅地坐在一塊巨大的花崗石上,神情憂郁,若有所思”——這座高約1.5米的“美人魚”銅像早已成為丹麥的象征。而對(duì)于我們,認(rèn)識(shí)這位有著人的頭和身體卻拖著魚的尾巴的“美人魚”,是從讀安徒生的童話開始的。

“蜜月”的來歷

2006-08-02 09:14
對(duì)于“愛情墳?zāi)拐f”,大家往往莫衷一是;但對(duì)于婚后最初那段時(shí)光,很少有人否認(rèn)它的甜蜜。瞧!單詞honeymoon(蜂蜜+月)就是明證,很形象地形容了新婚感覺如蜂蜜般甘甜醇美……

Pipe dream: 白日夢(mèng)

2006-08-01 08:41
知不知道“煙斗”怎么說?很簡(jiǎn)單,僅用一個(gè)pipe就可形容這種“一頭帶有小吹嘴的管狀抽煙用具”。當(dāng)然,談起pipe(煙斗),免不了會(huì)想到19世紀(jì)提著煙袋吸食鴉片的煙鬼們。短語pipe dream(白日夢(mèng))還真得從煙鬼們騰云駕霧的“感覺”談起。

Have a bad hair day: 壞心情

2006-07-31 09:00
要是有人對(duì)您說“I have a bad hair day”,您可千萬別以為她在抱怨自己的發(fā)型。A bad hair day是個(gè)俚語,指的是“很不順利的一天”。 若仔細(xì)推敲一下,a bad hair day遠(yuǎn)非“不順利”三個(gè)字就能囊括的。
