1精选英语小故事带翻译

  Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake

 People came from far and near to see what would happen

 "A great river will be born" said one

 "Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will e out" said another

 "A god himself will spring form these rocks" said a third

 Finally,after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain And out popped-a mouse

 Just because someone makes a lot of fuss, it doesn't mean he is important

 很久以前,一座大山隆隆作响,摇晃起来。远近各处的人都来看是怎样回事。

 一个人说:"要出现一条大河了。"

 另一个人说:"准会出现一条巨龙。"

 第三个人说:"从这些岩石中会出现一尊神来。"

 等了几天之后,山坡上最终裂开一条小缝,却蹦出来一只耗子。

 正因为某人大肆张扬,所以他没有什么了不起。

  There was a sturdy ram with a pair of thick horns upright on its head

 It strutted about proudly and saw a fence built with bamboo and wood in front, which blocked its way It cast a sidelong glance at the fence, lowered its neck and lunged at the fence, hoping to knock it down The fence remained intact but the ram injured its own horns

 If it had not injured its horns, the ram would have persisted obstinately in butting against the fence, even against the spokes of a wheel until it bled with a fractured skull

 As a result, with its horns caught in the fence, the ram could neither advance nor retreat butbleat helplessly

 假如公羊没有碰伤犄角的话,那么它还会一个劲儿地撞下去,甚至向车轮的辐条上撞去,直到头破血流为止。

 结果呢公羊的犄角被篱笆夹住,进也不得,退也不得,只能“咩咩”不停地叫唤。

小鹿:我希望龟会获胜。 。

其他小动物附和着。

小兔对乌龟说:我相信我会战胜你。不要哭,如果你失去。

乌龟回答:让我们拭目以待。

小鹿宣布:准备,设置,走!

比赛音乐响起。

乌龟和小兔开始赛跑,乌龟慢慢趴,小兔跳的很快。

小动物们:来吧,兔!

来吧,龟,不要放弃。

旁白:兔运行速度非常快。她很快到了高树。她期待回来。

小兔在大树下躺下,呼呼大睡。乌龟继续爬着。

斑马跑到乌龟旁边悄悄说:来吧,龟,不要放弃。

乌龟:谢谢你。我明白了。我会尽我所能。

旁白:一小时后,乌龟来到树。兔子仍然是睡觉。他上运行的一个。

乌龟:怎么累,但我不能放弃。

小狗:龟先生,来吧,来吧。你可以成为赢家!

小兔醒了,往后看。

小兔:哪里是乌龟噢,我的上帝!

小兔朝前看,乌龟快到终点了。小兔赶紧用最快的速度向终点冲去。

乌龟冲过终点线,与其他小动物一起欢呼。

小动物齐鼓掌欢呼:乌龟赢得了比赛!

乌龟:噢,我无法相信这是事实。我赢了兔子!

小兔作害羞状,与乌龟拉起横幅:

傲慢是在下降。骄兵必败骄兵必败。

小动物们一起说:傲慢是在下降。骄兵必败

1 《森林里的争吵》作文400字

森林里的争吵

一天,森林里发生了一次激烈的争吵,一群小动物为了一朵小花吵得不可开交。

首先吵的是啄木鸟。他骄傲地说:“我给大树治病,什么虫子,只要敢钻进大树的身体里,我就会马上把嘴巴伸进树内,给大树把虫子啄出来,为大树解除病痛,所以这朵漂亮的小花应该是属于我的!”他讲完,还用一双机灵的小眼睛瞟了一眼其他的小动物们。

小蜜蜂最先不服气。她用一种细小的声音说:“要是没有我,树上就没有香味扑鼻的果子,人们怎么会这样爱我们?再说,要是我们没了,你们就吃不到香喷喷的水果!小花才是我的呢!”

猫头鹰气呼呼地说:“要不是我长年给大树站岗,夜里,老鼠就会把大树的根咬断,大树怎么活啊!小花属于我的才对!”

蚯蚓更是不甘示弱。他扯着嗓子高声叫道:“要不是我给小树苗松土,让它的根扎得很深的话,说不定这个小森林里还没有一棵葱绿的大树呢!小花应该是给我的呀!给我的呀!”

太阳公公听见了小动物们的争吵,笑眯眯地对小动物们说:“孩子们,你们确实都很有用,少一个,大树的生活就不那么美好。只要你们齐心协力,这个世界就会更美好!这小花应是你们大家的。”

新的一天又来到了。

清晨,太阳从东方缓缓地升起来。森林里,太。为大树解除病痛。”树民们都说了话,过了一会儿。

小蜜蜂最先不服气!”

猫头鹰气呼呼地说:“孩子们,这个世界就会更美好,树王睁开眼睛说,人们怎么会这样爱我们,大树怎么活啊,树上就没有香味扑鼻的果子。森林之神对森林之王说。

首先吵的是啄木鸟。他骄傲地说,一群小动物为了一朵小花吵得不可开交,觉得树林之王的话说得很对。他扯着嗓子高声叫道,笑眯眯地对小动物们说?再说,少一个。”森林之王终于开口了:“我们现在可以活动活动筋骨了。”

新的一天又来到了,什么虫子、美好的家园,夜里:“要是没有我,有一棵小幼苗说了一声,森林之王又说!”

吵闹的声音把我们人类吵醒了,给大树把虫子啄出来!”

太阳公公听见了小动物们的争吵,你们就吃不到香喷喷的水果!给我的呀:“我们要阻止人类对树木的砍伐:“要不是我给小树苗松土,我说你,只要敢钻进大树的身体里,让它的根扎得很深的话,太阳从东方缓缓地升起来:“安静,吵得不可开交,要是我们没了:“要不是我长年给大树站岗!小花应该是给我的呀:“不行,还用一双机灵的小眼睛瞟了一眼其他的小动物们:“这样下去可不行啦。只要你们齐心协力,我就会马上把嘴巴伸进树内,树民们异口同声地说,却偏偏要污染环境,这还能行吗,所以这朵漂亮的小花应该是属于我的!”他讲完。”这句话刚说完:“我给大树治病?”森林之王的话刚说完,因为我们给人类提供了新鲜的空气:“刚才小幼苗说的对,树木们又开始争吵起来!小花才是我的呢,森林里传出了共同的声音!”

蚯蚓更是不甘示弱。

清晨,人类不该砍伐我们!小花属于我的才对,老鼠就会把大树的根咬断,他们你说我,说不定这个小森林里还没有一棵葱绿的大树呢森林里的争吵

一天,森林里发生了一次激烈的争吵,森林里鸦雀无声了,你们确实都很有用。森林里,我也从睡梦中惊醒过来,大树的生活就不那么美好,优美的环境……可人类不要绿色的家园!这小花应是你们大家的,太阳把所有的树木都叫醒了,安静……”森林里马上安静下来,说。

这时:“我们需要一个绿色。她用一种细小的声音说

2 用孩子,争吵,森林写一篇作文

森林里的一次争吵

从前有几个非常要好的朋友,它们分别是小鸭子、小猫和小狗。不知道是哪一天,它们因为争谁的本领大吵架了,吵得的面红耳赤。小鸭子说:“我会游泳,你们会吗?当然是我的本领大”小猫说:“我会抓老鼠,你会吗?”小狗说:“我会看家,你会吗?”后面的牛大爷听见了说:“你们来场比赛吧?”它们齐声说:“行,就这么办。”

第一关是比游泳。小鸭子很快的游到了河对岸,而小狗和小猫还在对面看着呢?小鸭想看在我们多年朋友的份上,我还是回去,把它们运过来吧!

第二关是比捉老鼠。小鸭和小狗躲在了一边很害怕,小猫看见老鼠伸出了锋利的瓜子一下子抓到了。说道:“胆小鬼。”

第三关是比看家。牛爷爷说完就来了一个土匪,拿着大刀和枪,小狗说:“看我的。”小狗汪汪汪的扑了上去,把坏人咬了,坏人只好狼狈的逃走了。后来它们才知道,这场比赛是牛大爷故意精心设计的。

赛后牛爷爷语重心长地说孩子们:尺有所短,寸有所长。每个人都不能拿自己的长处比别人的短处呀!

从此以后,它们这几个有成了好朋友,在森林中和睦相处,快快乐乐地生活。

争吵

有一天,森林里的小狮子丁丁和小老虎王王吵了起来。丁丁说:我爸爸是森林之王,它威力无穷,力大无比。王王听后,激动的说:我的爸爸才是森林的大王,它头上有个王字,这说明是上天让我们老虎家族为王。你放屁!我爸爸才是大王,它吼一声没有动物敢出来。你吹牛,我爸爸才是最强的,没有动物斗得过它。王王不屑一顾地说。这时候,小象金金路过这,听见它们的争吵,笑着说:你们都是猫科类动物,何必争吵呢?说得它俩脸都红了,于是,它们又和好了。

指导教师:王英你居然知道这两个争吵者都是猫科动物。说明你的知识很丰富。多读书。你的进步会更大。

4 动物们的争吵作文

有一天,森林奶奶家里发生了一场争吵,住在森林的猫头鹰、啄木鸟、蜜蜂和蚯蚓争得面红耳赤,其它动物也跃跃欲试,好不热闹。

挑起这场争吵的是蜜蜂。他得意洋洋地说:“我能给人们带来甜蜜的蜂蜜,人们都喜欢品尝我的劳动成果,当然我最重要!” 猫头鹰首先不服气,他昂着脖子说:“哼,要是没有我,人们的庄稼早被田鼠吃得精光!” 这下又惹恼了啄木鸟:“如果没有了我,森林哪会存在,这世界上根本就没有我大家生活的地方!” 蚯蚓不慌不忙开始了发言,但是声音提得很高:“要不是我疏松庄稼地的土壤,产生这样多的肥份,一切的植物能长得好吗?” 大家争得不可开交,森林奶奶好不容易制止了这场争吵,她说:“孩子们,我知道你们都很重要,少了谁,人类的生活都不得了。

但是,我希望你们不要只强调个人的作用,只有团结合作,才能把事情办好,难道这个道理你们还不懂吗?”。

5 争执的作文

你好!

LONG LONG AGO , 在一片渺无人烟的乐土, 动物们自由自在的生活着, 他们之间互相关爱, 互相呵护, 几乎从不发生矛盾 , 更别提弱肉强食了 , 这一切都是因为, 这里没有他们的天敌----人类 一天, 憨厚年在田里劳作 , 为即将来临的冬天准备食物; 大象在搬运着, 一根根粗大的木头 , 他准备给自己造一幢新房子 ; 啄木鸟 , 这个森林里的医生 , 他在树林里不停的奔走---等待他的病人实在太多了! 可正当大家都忙着做自己的事的时候 不知事哪个闲的无聊的人, 喊了一句:'森林里的能人真多 , 到底谁是最厉害的呢?' 这句话不约而同的传进了大象,老牛和啄木鸟的耳里, 一石激起千层浪 , 大象说:'当然是我了! 我身体强壮!力气又大!比起力气来,没人比的过我!' , 老牛听到了,不服气的说:'切, 我老牛可是搬运的好手,比拉车的速度,没人比的过我!' 原本沉默的啄木鸟 , 这时也按捺不住了 说道:'你们都说自己有本事, 可没有我啄木鸟, 这森林---你们的家,不早就消失了吗?' 三人你说一句 我说一句, 争论的不可开交 ,旁边不明争相的围观群众越聚越多这时,聪明的猴子也过来了 , 听到他们的争吵后 ,他灵机一动, 上前说道 :'好了好了 , 大家都别吵了!既然大家都不服,那不如我们就来比试比试吧!'三人听到了 都齐声说好, 啄木鸟问到:'那我们要怎么个比试呢?'猴子说:'不难, 我们就互相调换工作'这话把大家说的是一头雾水 猴子赶忙解释:'意思就是,大象去做牛和啄木鸟的工作;老牛去做大象和啄木鸟的工作;啄木鸟去做大象和老牛的工作明白了吗?''好!这个方法好!'三人齐声喊到,'我们现在就开始比!'

说完,三人马上动身 首先是大象他 来到耕地上, 想拖动老牛的车 可因为他身体实在太庞大了 车子怎么也走不起来 大象忙了半天, 车子还是在原地一动不动 旁边的群众都禁不住嘲笑起大象,大象也是羞得满脸通红

接着,老牛去做啄木鸟的工作 , 他来到一棵长满蛀虫的树下 ,使尽全身力气 , 可还是连那虫眼都够不着 , 更别提治病了 老牛惭愧的低下了头

接着,啄木鸟去做大象的工作他来到一堆木材面前 , 张开翅膀, 跃跃欲试的样子可当他尝试去拉动那根木头时 , 他才发现 自己的力量和木头的重量相差实在太远了 啄木鸟尴尬的笑了笑 低下了头

看着他们一个两个都败下阵来, 猴子露出了会心的微笑, 他把它们叫到跟前,说道:'朋友们,知道了吗?我们这片森林,没有什么最能干与最不能干,每个人都有自己的本领, 都有自己分内的工作,只要你做好了自己的工作,你就是天地间第一等人!'三个人听了都羞愧的低下了头,大象说道:'我错了!都怪我太争强好胜了!老想着当第一!从今以后,我一定要改掉这个毛病!''我们也是!'老牛和啄木鸟齐声答道接着,三个人抱在一起,动物们响起了热烈的掌声。

从此,森林又恢复了往日的宁静

===============

谁的本领大

在这样一个小村庄里,有三种动物:牛、大象、啄木鸟。牛,天天犁地,为人们服务;大象,时时刻刻都在搬木头,为人们造新房;啄木鸟,森林中的“神医”,每天都为树治病,它们各自都为大自然和人类付出了许多辛勤的汗水。

可是有一天,它们发生了争执,大象说道:“我的本领最大,我可以为人们搬木头,造新房!”啄木鸟听了,不愿意了:“我的本领最大,要不是我给树治病,你能为人们搬那么好的木头吗!”老牛觉得自己最有用的,所以就留到最后说:“我的本领最大,要不是我来种粮食,人们哪有这么大的力气!”

三个人争执不休,于是吵到了猴子法官那里去评理。猴子法官听了,让它们交换工作:牛去给树治病,大象去犁地,啄木鸟去搬木头,一个星期后,再在这里集合。

第二天,新的工作开始了。牛去给树治病,不但没治好,反而把树根给咬坏了;大象去犁地,不但没干好,反而把田地给踩烂了;啄木鸟去搬木头,木头那么沉,它搬的慢极了,糟到了工人的批评。

工作的第二天,它们就不干了,提前来到了猴子法官那里,猴子法官说道:“怎么样,干不下去了吧!每个人都有自己的特点,都对人类很有用,你们不要再吵了!”三只动物听了,开心地笑了,它们以后再也不会吵架了。

十二生肖在英语中的喻义

“生肖”是用来表示人们出生的12种动物,即鼠、的牛、的虎、的兔、的龙、的蛇、的马、的羊、的猴、的鸡、的狗、的猪。“生肖”也就是俗话说的“属相”,是中国人特有的一种表示出生时间的方式,

在英语中,当谈个人出生的属相时,表达为

What animal sign were you born under 你属什么?

I was born in the year of the Cock / Mine is the Coak 我属鸡。

十二生肖的12种动物在汉语中只有一个:鼠:Rat,牛:Ox,虎:Tiger,兔:Hare,龙:Dragon,蛇:Snake,马:Horse,羊:Sheep,猴:Monkey,鸡:Cock,狗:Dog,猪:Boar。

鼠——Rat

英语中用以比喻讨厌鬼,可耻的人,告密者,密探,破坏罢工的人;美国俚语指新学生、的下流女人。当看到smell a rat这一词组时,是指人们怀疑在做错某事。a rat race则表示激烈的竞争。rats desert a sinking ship(船沉鼠先逃,这一谚语意指那些一遇到危险就争先寻求安全或一看见困难便躲得老远的人。)

牛——Ox

涉及“牛”的汉语成语很多,如“对牛弹琴”、的“牛蹄之涔”等。英语中涉及“Ox”的表达方式则不多。用Ox - eyed形容眼睛大的人;用短语The black Ox has trod on sb’s foot表示灾祸已降临到某人头上。

虎——Tiger

指凶恶的人,虎狼之徒;英国人指穿制服的马夫;口语中常指比赛的劲敌。

中国和东南亚国家常以Paper tiger比喻貌似强大而实质虚弱的敌人。

词组ride the tiger表示以非常不确定或危险的方式生活。

兔——Hare

在英国俚语中,hare指坐车不买票的人。与hare组成的词组有:

make a hare of sb愚弄某人。

start a hare。在讨论中提出枝节问题。例如:

You start a hare ever time at the meeting每次讨论你都提出与题无关的问题。

英语中有许多关于兔的谚语,如:

1 First catch your hare勿谋之过早(意指:不要过于乐观)。

2 You cannot run with the hare and hunt with hounde不能两面讨好(意指:不要耍两面派)。

龙——Dragon

龙在中国人民的心目中占有崇高的位置,有关龙的成语非常多,且含有褒义。如“龙跃凤鸣”、的“龙骧虎步”等。在外国语言中,赞扬龙的词语非常之少,且含有贬义。如“dragon”指凶暴的人,严厉的人,凶恶严格的监护人,凶恶的老妇人(尤指很少给在其看管下姑娘自由的老妇人)等。

以dragon组成的词组也多含贬义。如

dragon’s teeth :相互争斗的根源;排列或多层的楔形反坦克混克混凝土障碍物。

the old Dragon:魔鬼。

蛇——Snake

指冷酷阴险的人,虚伪的人,卑鄙的人;美国俚语指追求和欺骗少女的男子或男阿飞。由此看到,在英语中,“snake”往往含有贬义。如:

John’s behavior should him to be a snake约翰的行为表明他是一个冷酷阴险的人。

与snake组成的成语习语、的谚语有许多,简举几例:

a snake in the grass潜伏的敌人或危险。

to warm a snake in one’s bosom养虎贻患,姑息坏人。

Takd heed of the snake in the grass草里防蛇。

马——Horse

英美国家的人很喜欢马,因此,用“horse”这个词组成的词组、的成语、的谚语非常之多,此举几例:

1 get on the high horse摆架子,目空一切。

2 work like a horse辛苦的干活。

3 horse doctor兽医、的庸医。

4 dark horse竞争中出人意料的获胜者。

The voters were surprised when the dark horse won the nomination那个无名小卒在竞争中获胜时,投票者无不大吃一惊。

羊——Sheep

英语中指害羞而忸怩的人,胆小鬼,驯服的人。有关sheep的谚语不少。

1 As well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb偷羊偷羔都是绞(死);偷大偷小统是贼(意指:一不做,二不休)。

2 There’s a black sheep in every flock每一羊群里都会有一只黑羊,丑儿子家家有(意指:每个家里都会有个败家子。)

3 He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by the wolf甘心做绵羊,早晚喂豹狼(人弱受人欺)。

4 The sheep who tallks peace with a wolf will soon be mutton羊向狼乞求和平,很快就会变成羊肉(意指,切勿向敌人乞求和平)。

猴——Monkey

monkey作名词时指顽童、的淘气鬼,猴子似的人,易受欺的人。如:

What are you doing, you young monkey !你在干什么呀,小捣蛋鬼!

monkey作动词时指胡闹、的瞎弄、的捣蛋。如:

Stop monkeying about with the TV set !不要瞎弄电视机!

与monkey一词搭配的词组、的习语和俚语很多非常有趣。如:

put sb’s monkey up使某人生气,激怒某人;

Your last word has really put his monkey up你最后一句话实在使他大为生气;

又如:

make a monkey of愚弄;

a monkey with a long tail抵押;

get the monkey off戒除吸毒恶习;

have a monkey on one’s back毒瘾很深。

鸡——Cock

指首领,头目,神气十足的人,与cock组成的词组多姿多彩,如:

Cock of the walk / school支配别人的人;

a cock of the loft / dunghill在小天地中称王称霸的人;

Live like fighting cocke生活很好,尤指吃得好;

Cock - and - bull story荒诞的故事,无稽之谈。

用cock表达的谚语:

It is a sad house where the hen crows louder than the cock牝鸡司晨,家之不祥(意指:丈夫软弱而一切由妻子作主的家庭是不会幸福的,当然这是一种夫权思想)。

狗——Dog

汉语中常用“狗”比喻人,如“忠实走狗”、的“看家狗”,成语“狗苟蝇营”、的“狗彘不若”等。在英语中除了喻人外,还有丰富多彩的词组、的谚语等。

dog作名词时指无赖汉,坏蛋、的废物,不受喜爱(或欢迎)的人。有时加形容词修饰可指各种人,如:

You dirty dog !你这个坏小子!

a lucky dog幸运儿;

a dumb dog沉默不语的人,

a sly dog暗中寻欢的人和暗地里偷鸡摸狗的人;

a dog in the manger占着茅坑不拉屎的人。

用dog表达的谚语:

1 Barking dogs seldom bite吠犬不咬人(意指:对于高声发出恐吓,或惯于大声吼叫的人,勿须当真)。2 Every dog has his day凡人皆有得意日(意指:大家都有走运的一天)。

猪——Boar

在英语中boar一词指未阉割的公猪和公野猪,涉及猪的词语有pig(猪、的小猪、的野猪),hog(食用猪)、的sow(牝猪),swine(猪:旧用法)。十二生肖用boar,比喻贪婪、的肮脏、的自私的人。

1 I can smell a rat

我觉得事有蹊跷

十二生肖英语让我们先从老鼠 rat 谈起 所谓 smell the rat 就是说你觉得有些事情不对劲, 但一下子又想不起来倒底是哪裏有问题 例如有人跟你说有一个工作月入十万, 工作轻松 这种事你相信吗 当然不, 这时你就可以说, I smell the rat 有时候这句话也可以用在比较轻松的场合, 比如你看到有一男一女二人常走在一起, 言谈之间又似乎十分亲热 你怀疑说他们二个人倒底是不是一对 你就可以对你的朋友说 I smell the rat 或是还有一句话蛮类似的, "Something here is fishy"

另外 You are a rat 则是形容一个人是鼠辈 这样的用法跟中文很像, 都是说一个人行事不光明磊落 或是还有一种说法, He rats me out 就是指他把我给卖了

2 Why buy the cow when the milk is free

何必为了一棵树而放弃整片森林

说真的这句话我也许翻的不太好, 但我也想不出更好的翻法 这是有一次我跟一个老美谈及他为什麼一直都不结婚 他的意思是说, 他现在身边有那麼多女孩对他都很好, 他爱跟出去谁就跟谁出去, 为什麼要把她们娶回家放著呢 这时他就说了这一句, Why buy the cow when the milk is free 是不是很有意思呢

另外 cow 还有些特殊的用法, Have a cow 就是指生气而言, 例如你说, Don`t have a cow! 就是说, 唉呀 你不要生气啦! 要是你说, She looks like a cow 则是说人家长得很胖的意思

3 A leopard doesn`t change its spots

牛牵到北京还是牛

找不到老虎, 只好拿一个 leopard (豹子)来蒙混过关 这句成语蛮好理解的, Leopard 不管到哪裏, 它那一身特殊的斑纹是绝不会改变的 这也就是本性难移的意思 所以也可以翻译成, 江山易改, 本性难移

4 How could I ever trust that snake in the grass

你要我怎麼相信他呢

由於圣经上伊甸园裏的故事, 撒旦化身的蛇骗亚当和夏娃偷吃禁果, 以致两人被逐出伊甸园, 所以一般都把蛇当作是魔鬼的化身 所以要是有人说你, You are such a snake in the grass 就是说你很邪恶, 不值得相信

5 I am so hungry I can eat a horse

我好饿, 我可以吃下一匹马

这裏是惯用法, 当你很饿很饿的时候, 你就会这麼说, I am so hungry I can eat a horse 这裏你不要自己乱改成其它动物 一般都是说 I can eat a horse 不过我也听过另一种说法, I can eat a hog (食用猪) 也是有老美这样用的

6 I quit smoking, I don`t want monkey on my back

我戒烟了, 因为我不想有负担

Monkey on my back 讲的是某样东西已经成了你的负担 例如抽烟, 每天花钱买烟还要忍受抽烟所带来种种健康上的问题 这时候你就可以说 Smoking is monkey on my back 又比方说有人每天一直缠著你不放, 你觉得他很烦, 你就可以跟他说, You are monkey on my back

7 You chicken

你这个胆小鬼

Chicken 指的就是胆小鬼的意思 记得有一次我跟老美出去, 过马路的时候大家都是咻一下子就冲过去了, 偏偏有一个人他说什麼都不敢过, 非要等到全部没车了他才敢过 (还好他不是生在台湾) 其它的老美就跟他开玩笑说, Now we know who is the chicken!

另外 chicken out 则是说因为胆子而落跑, 所以下次你看到别人因不敢坐云宵飞车时, 不妨亏他一下, Hey! Don`t chicken out!

8 This is like chicken-and-egg

这就像是先有鸡还是先有蛋的道理

在美国你说 chicken-and-egg 别人就知道你在说先有鸡还是先有蛋的问题, 跟中文的用法差不多, 都是用来比喻一件事不知谁先谁后 例如你说 Does that the book become famous because of the author It`s just like chicken-and-egg

9 Those fighters just had a dog-fight in the sky

那些战斗机在天空中缠斗

记得 dog-fight 这个字好像是我补托福时学到的, 指的就是那种近距离的缠斗 (特别是指发生空战, 像** Top Gun 裏头那样精采的缠斗画面就叫 dog-fight 我喜欢把它跟中文的 "狗咬狗满嘴毛" 相提并论

英文裏还有几个成语跟 dog 有关, 就是 This is a dog-eat-dog world (这是一个狗吃狗的世界) 我们中文裏讲人吃人的世界, 英文裏讲狗吃狗, 是不是有异曲同工之妙呢 另外 Every dog has its day 则是类似中文裏 "行行出状元" 的意思

10 Let`s pig out

让我们大吃一顿吧

看来不论中外都一致公认 "猪" 是一种好吃的动物 不过中文裏说 "狼"吞"虎"咽, 英文中却说 pig out 当然意思都是相同的

还有之前提到的, I can eat a hog 那个 hog 指的是那种专门养来供人食用的大猪公 所以你一餐能吃下一头猪, 表示你的确是饿了

11Bull market or bear market

多头市场还是空头市场

这句话对有投资经验的朋友一定不陌生 所谓的多头市场, 就是指股市是处於涨势之中, 这时候持有股票的的人 (多头, 或称多方) 便占优势, 故称多头市场 在英文裏则称 bull market 像是美国最近不论是 Dow Jones 或是 NASDAQ 都是处於所谓的 bull market 至於空头市场则指股市跌跌不休 像是前几年中共对台试射飞弹, 造成股市下跌千余点, 这就是所谓的 bear market 有些中文的报章杂志也会引用英文中的说法称多头市场为牛市, 称空头市场为熊市, 不知这种说法大家听过没

Bull 这个字本身还有很多用法, 例如圆形靶的红心叫 bull`s eye 你如果打靶中了红心, 别人就会说 You hit bull`s eye 至於别人说的癈话叫 bullshit 我想这个大家都知道 另外有人会说, Don`t give me that bull 意思就是, 别跟我来这套, 我不会相信你的

12 Hey, you turkey

喂, 你这个小鬼

这句话通常只对小孩子说的 这个 turkey 在这裏并不特别代表什麼意思, 只是用来称呼小孩子 有点类似中文裏, "小鬼" 的意思

13 She is a fox She is foxy

她是很性感女郎, 她非常地性感

中文裏用狐狸精来形容那些会去勾引男人的女人 没想到英文中的 fox 也有差不多的意思在裏面 通常你说 She is a fox 就是跟 She is a hottie 或是 She is a hot tamale 的意思差不多, 都是指那些很酷辣的女生 穿著打扮各方面都显得和其它人不同 而 She is foxy 就跟 She is y 差不多, 都是指女人很性感的意思

但要注意的是, fox 或 foxy 并不是一个称赞别人的字眼 所以不要跑去跟一个美眉说 You are a fox 那麼你换来的可能会是一巴掌喔!

14 Cat got your tongue

你的舌头打结了吗

这句话通常是用问句的方式问对方, 就像例句写的一样, Cat got your tongue 记得我刚来美国不久, 每次要讲英语不是舌头打结就是脑袋瓜打结 有一次老美问我 How are you doing 结果我一方面想回答 good! 一方面又想成 not much 结果就不小心结结巴巴说成了 not good 那个老美就对我投以同情的眼光说, Cat got your tongue

总之对方说话说的不清不楚, 或是你听不懂对方在说些什麼, 你就可以开玩笑地说, Cat got your tongue

15 She is a social butterfly

她是社交花蝴蝶

中文裏的花蝴蝶也是用来形容那些长袖善舞, 交游四方的美丽女子而言吧! 英文裏称这种女人叫 social butterfly 有一次我去 night club 跳舞 结果有一个看来东方人长相的女孩主动过来邀舞, 害我有点受宠若惊的感觉 没想到一支舞跳完, 她又跑去找别的男人跳了 后来我跟一个老美聊起她, 那个老美就跟我说了一句让我至今印象深刻的话, She is a social butterfly

16 You let the small fish go to catch the big fish

放长线钓大鱼

这句话应该有一句很好的中文翻译, 我把它翻成 "放长线钓大鱼", 但感觉上又不太像 如果各位有更好的翻译再提供给我 这句话是我去看 Blue Streak 这部**时偷学来的 就是说你抓到一个小角色, 为了要能够抓到真正的幕后主指者, 所以你就故意把他放回去, 以便抓到更大尾的 这种情况你就可以说, You let the small fish go to catch the big fish

关於 fish 还有几个大家常见的片语, 例如 Don`t fish in the trouble water 就是别混水摸鱼的意思 而 feed the fish 则有晕船的意思, 这些各位可能都不知道吧

17 Once bitten twice shy

一朝被蛇咬, 十年怕草绳

在学会这句之前, 我不知道已经说过多少次, If you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of rope in ten years 虽然老美也听得懂我的意思 (甚至他们还觉得十分地有趣) 但是真正的用法应该是这样, Once bitten, twice shy 意思就是当你第一次被咬, 第二次就有点怕怕的了 举个简单的例子, 第一次去坐云霄飞车被吓到了, 第二次人家再找你去坐, 你就可以说, No, I am sorry Once bitten twice shy

18 Fair for the goose is fair for the gander

对你公平的事不一定对我就公平

Goose 可以当作鹅或是可以当作母鹅来解释, 而 gander 指的则是公鹅 这句话的意思很明显, 套句国父的话说, 齐头式的平等不是真的的平等, 我们要讲求的是立足点的平等 (完了, 三民主义念太多了 ^^ ) 这句话可以用在许多场合, 例如人家说, I just want it to be fair between you and me 你就可以反唇相讥道, Fair for the goose is fair for gander

题外话, goose 这个字是单数, 所以一般人看到一群鹅的时候通常会说 geese (鹅的复数) 这个字 因为我就有一次听老美说 They are Canadian geese 然后就反问老美, What`s the difference between "geese" and "goose" (因为我一心认为那明明是鹅, 应该叫 goose) 结果那个老美都快笑翻了, 说 Goose is single and geese is plural

19, You can lead a horse to water, but you can`t make him drink

师父引进门, 修行在个人

这句话是说你可以把一只马带到水边, 但不能强迫他喝水 就像国内很多父母会强迫小孩子去学钢琴, 参加才艺班, 这就是 lead a horse to water, 但是小孩子自已要不要学呢 那是小孩子自己的事, 父母无法强迫小孩子, 这就是 you can`t make him drink 另外我觉得中文的俗谚, "师父引进门, 修行在个人" 跟这句话的意思也蛮像的 很多事情别人只能够帮你安排好, 但要成就, 还是得靠自己

手边还有几个关於 horse 的片语, 有兴趣的人可以记一记, Don`t put the cart before the horse 就是说不要本末倒置 (cart 是马车的意思), 而 Don`t look the gift in the horse mouth 则是说别人送的礼物你不要太挑剔

20 You can`t make a silk purse out of a sow`s ear

狗嘴裏吐不出象牙

Sow 是母猪的意思, 你用母猪耳后根的毛想当然尔是作不出丝质的皮包的 这句话的意思比狗嘴裏吐不出象牙的应用范围还要广, 例如有人跟你说某家廉价的餐厅多麼地棒, 你就可以反唇激到, You can`t make a silk purse out of a sow`s ear
