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。

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 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

1.英语趣味小知识
趣味英语小知识 a)Ten animals I slam in a.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。

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。
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.
