1. 英语单词有趣的总结(一)

idol      偶像的意思

com-全部  pens花费  ate 做 
支付所有的花费    是补偿的意思

这两个单词解释都为学习,但我们知道,student却和learner不同,都是学习的人,这里,前者表示过程,正在学习的人,后者表示结果,有成绩的学者

源出旧时一种名为hand in cap的赌博性游戏。该游戏因参加者将赌注或罚金置于帽中而得名。例如有种牌戏规定,为了给输者以有利条件赢回所输的钱,赢者必须在下一次发牌时多下赌注,并将多下的赌注即所谓罚金( forfeits)放入帽子内( hand  in the cap)。

17世纪和1 8世纪时类似赌法亦见诸赛马。为使得胜机会均等,赛马时对年龄轻、体力强、速度快的马略加载重量,这种赛马就叫做handicap race。这时handicap 一词已被赋予“不利条件”或“障碍”一义。到了19世纪,这种对强者略加不利条件或让弱者略占优势的让步赛也用于其他任何体育项目,如打高尔夫球时优者让劣者多击几次球,下棋时强手让弱手一个棋子等。如今handicap一词已不再囿于体育比赛,而且多用在更广泛的意义上。它还往往用作委婉语,表示“缺陷”,例如我们常说handicapped child(残废或弱智儿童)。

5-斜体!斜体!

bold    名次,黑体,形,大胆的,铅笔黑色的描述,输入法的B

Italics  意大利斜体  输入简写为I

underline  下划线

在19世纪的美国德克萨斯州,有一位名叫山姆•马华力(Samuel Maverick)的牧场主,被当地人看作是特立独行者。按照当时的习俗,牧场上的牛、马等牲畜都要打上本牧场的烙印,这样牲畜丢失后,人们根据身上的烙印就能识别是哪家牧场的牲畜。但这位马华力却偏偏不肯按照惯例给牲畜打上烙印。不过这样也好,以后凡是见到身上没有烙印的牲畜,大家就知道是马华力家牧场的了。马华力也因为此事而出名。

  不过,据历史学家考证,当年马华力不愿给牲畜打烙印并非出自特立独行考虑,而是对放牧之事缺乏兴趣。因为这位马华力在历史上扮演的更重要角色是一名律师和政治家。当时的德克萨斯州还属于墨西哥,正在争取独立。马华力积极参加了德克萨斯独立革命,亲自率领部队冲锋陷阵,击败了墨西哥军队,参加了墨西哥军队的投降仪式,并成为《德克萨斯独立宣言》的签署者之一。

  不管怎样,马华力在美国历史上成了特立独行的典型。他的姓氏Maverick也因此青史留名,成为了“特立独行者”的代名词。美国NBA联盟中,德州达拉斯小牛队的英文名就是Dalas Maverick,表达的就是这种叛逆不羁、特立独行的精神,译为“达拉斯特立独行队”可能更精确。着名电影“壮志凌云”中,汤姆·克鲁斯所饰演的主角的代号就是maverick(独行侠),正好契合他的性格特征。

maverick:['mæv(ə)rɪk] n.特立独行者,独行侠;没打烙印的牲畜adj.特立独行的,不按常规的;未打烙印的(牲畜)

cane翻译为藤条,手杖,细茎

加上sugar

sugarcane

就成了甘蔗,甜甜的植物长茎

river是河流

rival沿河对立的人,翻译为,对手

9-handsome

hand一招手,来了很多some,美的mind少女,女仆

英俊的。大量的。

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传真,要求对方把职员的人数报上来。他是这么说的:

I need a head count telling the number of people in your factory, the number of people in your office, broken down by sex.

在上面的传真里,broken down by sex是“按照性别分开”的意思,但是分公司的外国职员没有理解“broken down by sex”的意思。不过break something/someone down倒是还有一个意思,就是“把某事物,把某人压服”。

结果,美国总部收到了回音。那份传真是这样说的:

Here is your head count. Here we have thirty-five people in our factory, fifteen people in our office, five people in the hospital, none broken down by sex.

(这是你要的人头数。我们的工厂里有35人,办公室15人,医院5人,无人因纵欲过度而垮掉。)

最后,他还加了一句:And if you really must know, our problem down here is with alcohol. (如果你非要知道,我们这儿的问题是饮酒过度。)

查字典,break down就是“把……压服,把……压垮”的意思,因此外国职员就把broken down by sex理解成了“因为纵欲过度而垮了”,但是在那样的语言环境下,broken down by sex实际上是“按照性别分开”的意思。美国人一下子就理解的东西,在外国人眼里,就成了匪夷所思。可见,语言学习还真是麻烦。最好的办法当然是不断积累,还有,如果有不懂的东西,一定要问明白!

动物篇

a)Ten animals I slam in a net. 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)。
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。

续动物篇

Santa Claus' reindeer(圣诞老人的驯鹿)

你知道圣诞老人的驯鹿是怎么来的吗?它们是Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863 美国作家)所写的‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’1823作品里出现的Dasher、Dancer、Prancer、Vixen、Comet、Cupid、Donner、Blitzen等8头

the world is my oyster (世界是我的牡蛎)

if the world is my oyster 经常作为“如果我的梦想得以实现的话”的意思使用。该句来源于莎士比亚的The Merry Wives of Windsor (1600)Ⅱ、ⅱ、2中,恶棍Pistol对决意不肯借钱的Sir John Falstaff说、“Why then the world's mine oyster, / Which I with sword will open.”(这个世界如同我的牡蛎一样,我可以用刀子把它撬开。)人们应用这句话是常把原文的mine该成my.这句话也常常出现在Willy Loman的台词中

8. 有趣的英语短语

在聊天中加入一些有趣的英语短语,能够让你显得评议近人。下面是我给大家整理的有趣的英语短语的相关知识,供大家参阅!

有趣的英语短语1

1. To walk on air 洋洋得意

在形容一个人很高兴,很得意的时候,中文经常说这个人走路轻飘飘,好像腾云驾雾一样。英文里也有类似的说法,就是to walk on air。

Susan has been walking on air ever since she got an official letter that she's been accepted as a graate student at the University of

California. 苏珊收到加州大学正式通知书录取她为研究生以后,她就一直很得意洋洋的。

2. To walk the plank 被解雇

Plank就是很厚的木板。据说,过去海盗拦截船只后会逼迫没有利用价值的人们走到一块木板上,然后将他们推进海里。To walk the plank的说法由此得来,现在多指“被除名”。

When you take over the store, think twice about making the

manager walk the plank. It may not be easy to find another one as honest and efficient as he is. 你接管店铺的时候,解雇经理这个问题要三思而行。因为要找一个像他那样老实又有效率的经理恐怕不是那么容易的。

3. To walk the floor 心神不宁

My roommate has been walking the floor for weeks trying to decide whether to ask his girl friend to marry him. He loves her, but he's not sure he's ready to settle down and have a family. 我同屋近几个星期都一直心神不宁的,他在考虑到底要不要向他女朋友求婚。他很爱她,但是他自己也不清楚他现在是否做好了安家立业的准备。

4. To walk down the aisle 结婚

西方人结婚一般都要在教堂里举行婚礼。在举行婚礼时,新娘穿着白色的礼服,挽着父亲的手,随着结婚进行曲从教堂入口一直走到主持婚礼的牧师面前。因此,to walk down the aisle就是“结婚”的意思。

Yesterday, John walked down the aisle to get married to his girlfriend.昨天,约翰和他的女朋友结婚了。

5. green with envy, green eyed 嫉妒,“眼红”

在外国我们用green eyed绿眼来形容嫉妒,而中国则用红眼病来表达嫉妒,两个相反的颜色来表示同一个意思,多么有趣啊!

green在中英文语言环境中表达的意思也存在着差异。先看be green with envy,这是个非常口语化的短语,意思是:羡慕极了。古代的不列颠人似乎认为心里一妒忌,脸色就发绿。注意这个词,有些书上把它解释成"非常怨恨",但是这一表达方式并没有那么强烈的意味。例如:

Wait till you see my new skirt. You're going to be absolutely green with envy. 你等着看我的新裙子吧,准叫你羡慕得不得了。

We were all green with envy when we learned that Jack had gotten a date with the most beautiful girl in our class. 知道Jack跟我们班的“班花”约会的时候,我们都羡慕极了。

最有意思的还是green-eyed。在西方,人们把嫉妒心强的人成为green-eyed monster。嫉妒心太强,难免做出一些坏事,称为魔鬼也算恰当,但为什么这个魔鬼一定是绿眼睛的呢?在希腊神话中,天王Zeus(宙斯)有7位妻子,第七位是他的姐姐Hera(赫拉)。赫拉是个绝顶美女,但是脾气不好,特别爱嫉妒

别人,这一点可是让Zeus吃尽了苦头。而这位有着醉人green eyes的女神,也成了英语中表达嫉妒的一种方式。

6. a green thumb 园艺高手

“眼睛绿了”,是表示羡慕。那么“拇指绿了”是什么意思呢?to have a green thumb 是指有“高超的种植才能做的一手好园艺”。绿色的拇指,意味着“有培育花木、蔬菜等植物的才能”。例如:

Mr. White has a green thumb. His garden is always beautiful. 怀特先生有搞园艺的本领。他家的庭院总是很美的。

7.give the green light 开绿灯

Give the green light 开绿灯,这个中英文里的意思是一样的,同意的意思。 比如:They've just been given the green light to build two new supermarkets in this range. 他们同意在这个地段建两个超级市场。

3. 有头脑 be a brain

10. 初中英语语法有趣口诀

一、冠词基本用法

【速记口诀】

名词是秃子,常要戴帽子,

可数名词单,须用a或an,

辅音前用a,an在元音前,

若为特指时,则须用定冠,

复数不可数,泛指the不见,

碰到代词时,冠词均不现。

【妙语诠释】冠词是中考必考的语法知识之一,也是中考考查的主要对象。以上口诀包括的意思有:

①名词在一般情况下不单用,常常要和冠词连用;

②表示不确指的可数名词单数前要用不定冠词a或an,确指时要用定冠词the;

③如复数名词表示泛指,名词前有this,these,my,some等时就不用冠词。

二、名词单数变复数规则

【速记口诀】

单数变复数,规则要记住,

一般加s,特殊有几处:

/s/结尾,es不离后,

末尾字母o,大多加s,

两人有两菜,es不离口,

词尾f、fe,s前有v和e;

没有规则词,必须单独记。

【妙语诠释】①大部分单数可数名词变为复数要加s,但如果单词以/t、/s/发音结尾(也就是单词如果以ch,sh,s,x等结尾),则一般加es;②以o结尾的单词除了两人(negro,hero)两菜(tomato,potato)加es外,其余一般加s;③以f或fe结尾的单词一般是把f,fe变为ve再加s;④英语中还有些单词没有规则,需要特殊记忆,如child—children,mouse—mice,deer—deer,sheep—sheep,Chinese—Chinese,ox—oxen,man—men,woman—women,foot—feet,tooth—teeth。

三、名词所有格用法

【速记口诀】

名词所有格,表物是“谁的”,

若为生命词,加“’s”即可行,

词尾有s,仅把逗号择;

并列名词后,各自和共有,

前者分别加,后者最后加;

若为无生命词,of所有格,

前后须倒置,此是硬规则。

【妙语诠释】①有生命的'名词所有格一般加s,但如果名词以s结尾,则只加“’”;②并列名词所有格表示各自所有时,分别加“’s”,如果是共有,则只在最后名词加“’s”;③如果是无生命的名词则用of表示所有格,这里需要注意它们的顺序与汉语不同,A of B要翻译为B的A。

四、接不定式作宾语的动词

【速记口诀】

三个希望两答应,两个要求莫拒绝;

设法学会做决定,不要假装在选择。

【妙语诠释】三个希望两答应:hope,wish,want,agree,promise

两个要求莫拒绝:demand,ask,refuse

设法学会做决定:manage,learn,decide

不要假装在选择:petend,choose
