[例] She is a very poor singer but she thinks she’s the bee’s knees. (她五音不全却自认为是高高在上的一流歌手。) 该表现起源于20年代的美国,仅仅因为bee’s 和 knees押韵,琅琅上口,迅速得到流传,直到现在, 还在日常生活非正式场合的对话中经常使用。

和时间有关的英语趣味小知识(一)时间是金,其值无价 Time is money.(时间就是金钱或一寸光阴一寸金) Time flies.(光阴似箭,日月如梭) Time has wings.(光阴去如飞) Time is a file that wears and makes no noise.(光阴如锉,细磨无声) Time stays not the fool’s leisure.(时间不等闲逛的傻瓜) Time and I against any two.(和时间携起手来,一人抵两人) Time is life and when the idle man kills time, he kills himself.(时间就是生命,懒人消耗时间就是消耗自己的生命。或时间就是生命,节省时间,就是延长生命) Time spent in vice or folly is doubly lost.(消磨于恶习或愚行的时间是加倍的损失) (二)时间是风,去而不返 Time undermines us.(光阴暗中催人才。

所以,今天我想讲几件轶事,都是因为没有理解听到看到的东西而闹出的笑话。也许,从他们的经验中,你也可以学到一些东西。

第一个故事发生在秘鲁,一位美国妇女在餐馆里用餐。她问服务员: Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands? 服务员把她带到洗手间,可不巧,正有一些工人在粉刷洗手间的墙壁。

工人们一看有人要用洗手间,就准备离开。服务员拦住他们,说: That’s Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands. 在英语里,wash my hands实际上是上厕所的委婉说法。

那个服务员按照字面意思理解,结果闹了笑话。 还有一次,一个留学生在国外的学校第一天上学,心里又兴奋又紧张。

一个美国人见到一张新面孔,为了表示友好,就问: Hi! What’s the good word? 留学生一听到这个,立刻傻眼了,他想, My God! I don’t know the good word. I’ve studied English for years, but no one told me about the good word! 他犹豫再三,想,反正我也不知道,就问问他好了。于是他吞吞吐吐地问: Hello. What’s the good word? 老美听了,很随意地说: Oh, not much. 这下,这个留学生就更吃惊了! 原来,What’s the good word? 在美语里,是一句问候语,意思是“你还好吗?”但问话的人并不指望你把遇到的高兴的事情都一一告诉他,只是打个招呼而已。

但这个留学生以为对方真的在问什么是Good word,所以闹了笑话,不过还好,也算给他歪打正着了。 下面的故事就更有意思了。

一次,一个美国公司的管理人员给公司一个驻外分部发了一份。

4.有趣的英语小知识

来到美国,说到吃,肯定很多人的第一个反应是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。 关键词一:食 The Big Apple:来到美国,说到吃,肯定很多人的第一个反应是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。

别担心,服务生不会当你是“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 专门用来形容那些古怪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,可能会比较贵,但还有很多叫“dives”的便宜餐0,你可以以合理的价格买到。

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,可能会比较贵,但还有很多叫“dives”的便宜餐0,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来自于拉丁美洲,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便宜,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Street vendors(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)。 关键词二:玩 “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。

和人打招呼,你可以说“What’s up,bro?” Do me a solid:出门在外,问路是少不了的功课。如果你在问路的时候还是用“Would you please do me a favor……”开头,未免显得老土。

你应该说:“Hey can you do me a solid?”,可别小看这样个小小的调整,只是改了一个词,你就显得非常“老江湖”了! “The 10”、“The 5”、“The 101”:美国有大批的高速公路,如果你有朋友在那里,他可能会开车带你到处逛逛。如果这时你们向当地人问路的话,他们会以以上方式告诉你高速公路的方向。

比如“To get to the Hollywood sign,you need to get on the Ten and……”(要去好莱坞方向的话,你得先上10号高速公路,然后……) $10 cover:如果你还想体会下美国的夜生活,你可能会在酒吧门口看到这样一行字“$10 cover”,这时候,你可千万别浪费时间猜它的意思,赶快掏出10美元吧,否则你可无法进去。 Hail a cab:体验过美国的夜生活,从酒吧出来时候已经很晚了。

这时候可能你的朋友会建议你:“Hey,you should hail a cab.”这时你可千万别心疼钱了,人家是让你赶快叫部出租车回旅店呢。养好精神,第二天才能继续快乐“西游”哦。

小贴士 1.作为游客,无论你的英语多么地道,总可能有一些奸商想打你的主意。这里再教你一招:如果你认为有人在捉弄或是欺骗你的话,你就可以这么说:“Don’t jerk my chain!”意思是别想欺骗我!学会了这句话,你的“西游”之路上麻烦就会少很多了。

2.吃了这么多的美食,玩了这么多地方,让人感觉这样逍遥的旅行有些不真实了,这时你可以来一句“I’m keeping it real”,在任何城市中,你说这句话可都是对这个城市一个极高的评价。

8.谁有小学英语趣味小知识

英语趣味小知识 让我们学习一些有趣的小知识吧。

以下是一些的英语和汉语对手指的称呼: 1.thumb :大拇指。与汉语相映成趣的是,英语的all(fingers and ) thumbs也表示”笨手笨脚”的意思,例如:(1)I’m all fingers and thumbs this morning. I don’t seem to be able to button up my shirt.今天早上我的手怎么这么笨呢,好像连衬衫都扣不上了。

(2)He was so excited that his fingers were all thumbs and he dropped the teacup.他激动得手都不好使了,竟把茶杯摔了。2. forefinger :又称index finger,即食指。

前缀fore-表示”位置靠前的”(placed at the front),所以从排位上说,forefinger应为”第一指”。从功用上看,此手指伸出时有标示或指向的作用。

在一些英语工具书中,我们会见到这样的表示”参见”(index)含义的手型符号。3. middle finger :中指。

此指居中,名正言顺,且与汉语说法也一致。4. ring finger:无名指。

从世界各地的婚俗习惯来说,结婚戒指(wedding ring)戴在这一手指(通常指左手)之上,表示已婚。5. little finger: 顾名思义为小指。
