1.英语趣味小知识

趣味英语小知识 a)Ten animals I slam in a net. 我把十只动物一网打尽 你注意到这句话有什么特别之处吗?对了,无论从左到右,还是从右到左,字母排列顺序都是一样的,英语把这叫做Palindromes 回文(指顺读和倒读都一样的词语),关于动物的回文还有以下的例子 Otto saw pup ; pup was Otto. (奥托看见了小狗,小狗的名字叫奥托) Was it a car or a cat I saw ? Was it a rat I saw ? (我刚才看见的是条老鼠?) b)the bee's knees 又来形容最好的至高无上的东西。

[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。

或莫说年纪小人生容易老) Time and tide wait for no man.(岁月不待人) Time cannot be won again.(时间一去不再来) Time is , time was , and time is past.(现在有时间,过去有时间,时间一去不复返) Time lost can not be recalled.(光阴一去不复返) Time flies like an arrow , and time lost never returns.(光阴似箭,一去不返) (三)时间是尺,万物皆检 Time tries friends as fire tries gold.(时间考验朋友,烈火考验黄金) Time tries truth.(时间检验真理) Time is the father of truth.(时间是真理之父) Time will tell.(时间能说明问题) Time brings the truth to light.(时间使真相大白。或时间一到,真理自明。)

Time and chance reveal all secrets.(时间与机会能提示一切秘密) Time consecrates: what is gray with age becomes religion.(时间考验一切,经得起时间考验的就为人所信仰) Time reveals(discloses) all things.(万事日久自明) Time tries all.(时间检验一切) (四)时间是秤,衡量权质 There is no time like the present.(现在正是时候) Take time by the forelock.(把握目前的时机) To choose time is to save time.(选择时间就是节省时间) Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.(今日事,今日毕) Procrastination is the thief of time.(拖延为时间之窃贼) One of these days is none of these days.(拖延时日,终难实现。或:改天改天,不知哪天) Tomorrow never comes.(明天无尽头,明日何其多) What may be done at any time will be done at no time.(常将今日推明日,推到后来无踪迹) (五)时间是水,淘金流沙 Time works wonders.(时间可以创造奇迹或时间的效力不可思议) Time works great changes.(时间可以产生巨大的变化) Times change.(时代正在改变) 英语趣味小知识(2)——你会犯这样的错误吗? 你会犯这样的错误吗? 英语有时候真是莫名其妙,你觉得你明明懂了,可实际上你又没有懂。

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。

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。
