说说英语单词里的那些有趣事儿

说说英语单词里的那些有趣事儿

说说英语单词里的那些有趣事儿英语单词有多少个?貌似没有准确的统计,牛津词典里有8万多条,也有的说加上地名有60多万,反正很多。

在这么多单词里面,有很多有趣的现象,让我们来一起看一看。

**********************************************1、英语单词成千上万,但只有"bookkeeper"(记账人)是具有连续3个双字母排列的单词。

2、英语中有5个元音字母a/e/i/o/u.,但"defenselessness"(无防备)和"respectlessness"(不尊重)却是最长的只含有一个元音字母的两个单词,那就是元音字母e,并且这两个单词都有15个字母。

3、"almost"(几乎)是唯一一个几个字母按字母表顺序排列的常用单词。

4、"honorificabilitudinitatibus"是最长的按一个辅音字母跟一个元音字母的顺序排列的单词,共有27个字母。

这个单词出现在大文豪莎士比亚的剧本《空爱一场》里,意思是“不胜光荣”。

5、牛津大词典中,"antidisestablishmentarianism"(反对教会与国家分开学说)曾经被认为是最长的单词,但被译为“硅酸盐沉着病”的医学语"pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis"现在则被认为是最长的单词,到底有多少个字母,自己数一数吧,只是读起来会很费劲。

6、据说,"The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick."(第六个患病的酋长的第六只羊患病了。

)是英语中最难发音的绕口令。

7、在英语中,只有一个普通单词的5个元音字母排在一起,它就是"queueing"(排队)。

学校有趣的现象作文英语In schools, interesting phenomena often arise from the interactions of students, teachers, and the environment. These occurrences can range from unique social behaviors to unexpected learning experiences. Observing these phenomena can provide valuable insights into the dynamics of school life. Here, we will explore some of the interesting phenomena that can be observed in schools.One interesting phenomenon in schools is the formation of cliques or social groups among students. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in middle and high schools, where students often form groups based on shared interests, backgrounds, or personalities. These cliques can be exclusive, making it challenging for others to join, or they can be inclusive, welcoming students from diverse backgrounds.Another fascinating phenomenon in schools is the emergence of leaders among students. These leaders oftenexhibit strong communication skills, charisma, and the ability to influence their peers. They may not hold formal leadership positions but can still have a significant impact on the social dynamics of the school.In addition to social phenomena, schools also provide a unique environment for learning. One interesting observation is how students respond to different teaching methods. Some students may thrive in traditional lecture-style classrooms, while others may excel in more hands-on, experiential learning environments. Understanding these preferences can help teachers tailor their teaching methods to better meet the needs of their students.Furthermore, schools often serve as a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds, leading to the emergence of multicultural phenomena. Students from different cultural backgrounds may bring unique perspectives and traditions to the school environment, enriching the overall experiencefor everyone.Technology has also introduced new phenomena intoschools, such as the use of social media and digital communication. These tools can facilitate communication and collaboration among students but can also present challenges, such as cyberbullying and distraction.Overall, schools are dynamic environments where interesting phenomena emerge from the interactions of students, teachers, and the environment. By observing and understanding these phenomena, we can gain valuableinsights into the complexities of school life and how best to support student learning and development.。

一些有趣的事情英语作文1. Last weekend, I went to a cat café for the first time. It was so much fun to sip on my latte while surrounded by adorable, fluffy cats. I even got to play with a few of them, and it was the perfect way to de-stress after a long week.2. The other day, I stumbled upon a street performance that completely blew me away. It was a group of dancers who were absolutely killing it with their moves. I couldn't help but stop and watch the entire performance, and it left me feeling so inspired and energized.3. A few weeks ago, I attended a cooking class with some friends, and let me tell you, it was a riot. None of us were particularly skilled in the kitchen, so there were plenty of mishaps and laughs along the way. But in the end, we managed to whip up some pretty tasty dishes, and it was a great bonding experience.4. I recently tried my hand at indoor rock climbing, and it was definitely an adrenaline rush. I was nervous at first, but once I got the hang of it, I felt like a total badass scaling those walls. It's such a cool way to challenge yourself and push your limits.5. The other night, I went to a comedy show and I wasin stitches the whole time. The comedian had the entire audience roaring with laughter, and it felt amazing to just let go and have a good laugh. It's moments like that when I realize how much joy and humor can bring people together.。

一.国人喜欢把非中国人叫老外。

就算生活在其他的国家,这种称谓也没有改变。

话说有一天,我们在一个朋友家聚会。

朋友是中国人,她丈夫是美国人。

我们聊天时,一口一个老外怎么着怎么着。

说得太多了,她丈夫插话了,我怎么到中国去,你们叫我老外,我现在在我自己的国家,你们还说叫我老外?我们都笑了,说,到哪儿你都是老外,变不了。

.我这里说的外国人,是指像我们这种,以英语为第二种语言的外国人,不是我们常称的老外。

二.。

带有汉语语音、词汇、语法等特色的“中式英语”(Chinglish) ,主要是一些人对英语使用不熟悉,硬套汉语习惯或文化模式造成的;另外翻译软件或网络搞笑也会产生这类语言文化现象。

中式英语有的令人拍案叫绝,有的让人一头雾水,还有的使人啼笑皆非。

1.“纸老虎”的妙译1946年8月,美国记者安娜-斯特朗去延安,她要采访毛泽东。

毛泽东在这次采访当中,提出了一个非常著名的论断,就是一切反动派都是纸老虎。

当时担任翻译的余光生就搜索到了一个惯用词scarecrow(稻草人);毛泽东当时就纠正了他的翻译,说“不行,我不是这个意思,我的意思是纸糊的老虎,是paper tiger”。

从此这个看起来有些雷人的词组就带领着那些生动活泼、新奇有趣的中式英语一路前进。

目前“paper tiger”(纸老虎)、“long time no see”(好久不见)、“good good study,day day up”(好好学习,天天向上)等已成为“正宗”的英语词语,并被收入权威的英语词典。

有关专家认为像这种颇具“神韵”的中式英语还在不断地增加中。

加拿大《多元文化周刊》曾经指出:具有神韵的中式英语为国际英语注入了新的活力,也为外国人了解中国人的思维方式打开了一扇窗,并将更多的中国语言文化元素注入世界多元文化之中。

2.“小弟弟”的故事德国多媒体制作人奥利弗-瑞克(中文名叫“纪韶融”)有一个著名的关于“小弟弟”的故事。

说的是他2000年在上海坐出租车时看见了车里一条标识语:“请带好随身物品”,下面一行的英文“Don‘t forget your thing”却一下子把他逗乐了,因为这句中式英语在英语文化(尤其是俚语)中表达的意思是,提醒男性乘客“别忘带走你的’小弟弟‘”。
