1.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。

在美国和苏格兰，人们又赋予它一个爱称，管pinkie(pinky)，后缀-ie(-y)有"小巧可爱"之意。和时间有关的英语趣味小知识职场英语 2010-02-24 17:52:16 阅读264 评论0 字号：大中小订阅（一）时间是金，其值无价1. Time is money.（时间就是金钱或一寸光阴一寸金）2. Time flies.（光阴似箭，日月如梭）3.

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。
