你不能不知道的趣味英语知识The Big Apple:来到美国,说到吃,肯定很多人的第一个反响是The Big Apple,不过千万别误会,这可是你吃不了的苹果,它其实是纽约市的“昵称”。
如果你旅游的目的地是The Big Apple,那我们可要说Congratulations(恭喜)了,那可是个美食之都。
Hero:首先,你该到饭店去点一份hero。
别担忧,效劳生不会当你是“吃英雄”的疯子。
Hero是纽约人管大个儿意大利潜水艇三明治的叫法。
当然,如果你一下子吃了十个Heroes,可能别人就会说话了:“Look at that strange gal!She’s really out in left field!”这里,out in left field 专门用来形容那些乖僻或者是莫名其妙的人。
Surf n’Turf:当然,美食并不只是在纽约才有,如果你有兴趣,不妨到“天使之城”洛杉矶逛一圈,Surf n’Turf就是一种在洛杉矶非常普及的美食,其中主食是海鲜及牛排,可能会比拟贵,但还有很多叫“dives”的廉价餐厅,你可以以合理的价格买到这种美食。
Taco Stand:Taco Stand是另一种在洛杉矶及附近的加州城市都很常见的美食,tacos于拉丁美洲,但在美国加州也非常的流行。
“stand”是一种街边小摊,你可以在那儿买到一些速食。
一般这要比McDonalds(麦当劳)或是Burger King(汉堡王)那样的速食连锁店要廉价,但是食物要可口的多哦!Franks:在美国的街头,你经常会碰到一些Streetvendors(街头小贩)高嚷着“Franks”,这时候你可千万别以为他们在寻找名叫Frank的人,Franks在这里是“热狗”的意思。
这些小贩就正在Selling Hot dogs(卖热狗)。
“Bro”、“Dude”、“Brother”、“Amigo”:在美国,所有这些词都是用来称呼男性朋友的常用词。
趣味英语单词收集有些单词正看、反看都有意思,越看越有意思。
如:鼠辈造反(猜一英语单词)。
谜底是star。
因为star从后往前读,正好是rats。
又,live倒过来就是evil。
所谓:“生活”不能颠倒,颠倒过来就是“罪恶”。

这个想法是错误的。
语言是用来交换思想,进行交流沟通的!)2. The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often aspossible.(学习一门语言的方法就是要尽量多地练习说。

hit stride 脚步走顺了hit the books 撞书(用功)hit the hay 倒在稻草上(睡觉、就寝)hit the jackpot 中了头彩hit the road 上路hold your horses 勒住你的马(慢来)hang somebody out to dry 把……晾起来了(把……坑苦了) in the dark 在黑暗中(茫然,什么也不知道)in the lime light 站在聚光灯圈里(出风头)it's Greek to me 希腊文(天书)joined at the hip 连体婴(死党,从不分开的两个人)just what the doctor ordered 正是大夫说的(对症下药) keep an ear to the ground 一耳贴地(注意新动向)kick the bucket 踢水桶(翘辫子)kill two birds with one stone一箭双雕,一举两得kiss up to 讨好kitty corner 小猫的角落(斜对角)landslide 山崩(压倒性的胜利)last straw 最后一根稻草left hanging 被晾起来了(被挂起来,悬而不决)let the cat out of the bag 放出袋中猫(泄密,说漏嘴) light a fire under your butt 在屁股下点一把火(促其行动)light at the end of the tunnel 隧道末端的光(一线希望) like hot cakes 象刚出炉的蛋糕(很受欢迎的东西,抢手货) like pulling hen's teeth 跟拔母鸡的牙一样(艰苦不堪) like shooting fish in a barrel 桶里射鱼(瓮中捉鳖)like stealing candy from a baby 娃娃手里骗糖(易事)ling winded 长舌,碎嘴loose cannon 松动的大炮(一触即发的脾气)lose one's marbles 疯了,神智不清low blow 不正当的攻击,下流手段Monday morning quarterback 星期一早晨的四分卫(马后炮)monkey on one's back 背上的猴子(难以摆脱的负担)more than you can shake a finger at 屈指难数music to my ears 爱听的话my old man 我的老头(我父亲)nail in the coffin 棺材钉子(致使的一击,决定成败的最重要因素)neck and neck 马脖子靠着马脖子(齐头并进,不分轩轾)no sweat不出汗(没什么大不了)not dealing with a full deck 脑子里少几张牌(头脑不正常)off the deep end 暴跳如雷4. 四个和表面意思不同的趣味动物用语,更进一步了解英语的一些特色,加深我们对英语的认识。
(1).Goose bumps每当我们觉得身上发冷或者发麻的时候,皮肤上就会起一层鸡皮疙瘩。
英语里鸡皮疙瘩叫: goose bumps。
Goose就是鹅,bumps就是疙瘩。
至于为什么中国人说鸡皮疙瘩,而美国人却说鹅皮疙瘩就不得而知了。
例句:I know that most snakes are harmless, but I can't help it--every time I see a snake, even in a zoo, I get goose bumps all over!我知道大多数的蛇是不咬人的,但是每当我看到蛇,我全身就会起鸡皮疙瘩,哪怕是在动物园里看到蛇也是如此,真是没办法。
(2).sitting duckDuck就是鸭子。
我们不容易打到一只正在飞的鸭子,不过一只浮在水面上的鸭子却是一个很容易击中的目标。
Sitting duck从字面上解释就是:一只坐着的鸭子。
当然,sitting duck 是一个俗语,它的意思是:很容易上当受害的人。
例句:It was early on a Sunday morning and the Americans had no warning. So the battleships and destroyers were sitting ducks when the Japanese bombers swept in from the sea.那是一个星期天的清晨,美国人根本没有得到警告。
所以当日本轰炸机从海上飞来的时候,那些战舰和驱逐舰只能束手待毙。
(3).chicken feed鸡是一种很小的家禽,它的胃当然也很小,吃不了太多东西。
Feed 在这儿的意思就是喂鸡的饲料。
Chicken feed 作为俗语,它的意思就是:很小数量的钱,少得像喂鸡的饲料一样。
例句:My grandfather says that 50 years ago a salary of $5,000 a year meant you could live very comfortably. But these days $5,000 is just chicken feed;you'd have a tough time just surviving on it.我祖父说,五十年前,一年五千美元的工资意味着你可以生活的非常舒服。
可是,现在五千美元年薪真是微不足道,难以维持生活。
(4).turkey farmTurkey是火鸡,farm就是农场。
但是,turkey farm合在一起作为俗语却和农场毫无关系。
那么,什么是turkey farm呢?在每个政府机构或者私营公司里总会有一些工作能力低或者是不愿勤恳工作的人;但是,由于种种原因,领导又没有办法解雇这些人。
为了使工作不受影响,这些机构的领导往往把这些人调到一个地方,就像打入冷宫一样。
实际上也就是把他们养在那里,而这种地方就叫作turkey farm。
5.有趣的英语绕口令(1). A big black bear sat on a big black bug.(2). Bake big batches of bitter brown bread.(3). Each Easter Eddie eats eighty Easter eggs.(4). Fresh fried fish, Fish fresh fried, Fried fish fresh, Fish fried fresh.(5). Green glass globes glow greenly.(6). How many cookies could a good cook cook If a good cook could cook cookies? A good cook could cook as much cookies as a good cook who could cook cookies.(7). I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish, but if you wish the wish the witch wishes, I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.(8). Nothing is worth thousands of deaths.(9). Shut up the shutters and sit in the shop.(10). There those thousand thinkers were thinking how did the other three thieves go through.(11). Two tiny tigers take two taxis to town.(12). What noise annoys an oyster most? A noisy noise annoys an oyster most.五.论文总结:随着英语的漫长发展,在英语的语法口语中逐渐出现一种新型的口语模式,便是人们常说的“趣味英语”。
