英语谚语和来历

英语谚语和来历【篇一:英语谚语和来历】以下是英语中经常使用的短句,然而其中一些短句的出处却是出乎人们意料之外的。
这张列表的来源是the book of beginnings。
(绝版了)10、always a bridesmaid, never a bride总是伴娘,永远不是新娘。
这个短句是李斯德林漱口水的广告语!为了促进他们的产品,李斯德林的生产商在当时雇用了一些想要安定下来却一直被挂起的有个人经验的女孩。
1920年,广告第一次放映,它描述了一个场景解释了这些女孩为什么没有成功的可能的原因。
以下是广告的全部:可怜的艾德娜快要30岁了,她的很多女朋友要么已经结婚了要么快要喜结良缘了。
她也是多么希望步入婚姻的殿堂做新娘而不是伴娘啊!~ 然而,所有的浪漫与她总是迅速终结。
有一个原因。
大家都瞒着她,她有口臭,没有人会告诉她,即使是她最亲密的朋友也没有告诉她。
这个广告帮助工厂销售了百万瓶漱口水,并且这个新兴的英语也流传了下来。
9、bark up the wrong tree错怪了某人这句话要追溯到以打猎为主要运动的时代,这时的动物们被用来追踪、捕猎和取回猎物。
这个应用,尤其针对狗。
狗在当时被用来追踪浣熊,一般都在夜晚进行。
狗是被训练过的,可以在浣熊的藏身之树前大叫。
当然,狗也有犯错的时候,它可能对着错误的树大叫。
8、be on a good footing有一个良好的基础与其他人,尤其是和那些身处高位的人有良好的人际关系表明了你和他们“有良好的基础”。
对于这个短语是从哪来的,有两种说法。
有人说这句话可以追溯到早期学徒的实践。
这是一个传统,作为学徒工作的第一天,他要邀请他所有的同事喝饮料。
这个新学徒付账。
如果大家认为他是一个慷慨的东道主,他就会交到朋友。
他的朋友们永远也不会忘记他的盛情款待。
当回顾这花销了多少钱时,被说成是初学者得到了“良好的基础”。
第二个来历与一个早期的人类解剖学的怪异解释有关,尤其是一个人的足趾的长度。

英语口语速递;换新手机说成 change a new phone,如何表达

英语口语速递;换新手机说成 change a new phone,如何表达
change a new phone 错在哪儿?我们说“换个新手机”是要“新的换掉旧的”
表达“新旧两者的互换”change 后必须加名词复数(一新一旧可是两个哦)
例:
She's just changed jobs.
她刚换了工作。
(两份工作互换)
May I change rooms?
我可不可以换一个房间?
We changed seats in the interval.
中间休息时,我们交换了一下座位。
(两个座位互换)
所以想换新手机了正确说法是:I want to change phones.
change后面加名词单数又是表示什么呢?change my phone是什么意思Change+名词单数:在不换的基础上做改变。
例:
I want to change my car.
我想改变一下我的车子。
(改变车子的装饰外观)
I want to change my job.
我想改变一下我的工作。
(改变工作方式或内容)
所以I want to change my phone.我想给手机做点改变。
(换个壁纸、换个手机壳……)

[例] "That's done it" said Manby, tearing up the agreement. "Now we've burned our boats behind us and we've no option but to go forward with the project.""事已如此,"曼贝一边说,一边撕掉协议书,"现在我们已破釜沉舟,除按计划前进外,别无选择。

英语习语典故:changelikeProteus变幻莫测
在希腊神话中,普鲁斯特(Proteus)是海神波塞冬的儿子,生来就是绝顶的预言家,绰号为“海上老人” (the old man of the sea)。
他常常替父亲看守海豹。
每天中午,他从海面中出来,混在海豹群中睡觉。
这时候如果有人捉住他,他就会告诉这个人所请求的预言。
希腊史诗《奥德赛》上面说,特洛伊战争后,斯巴达国王在返国途中,被吹到一个荒岛上,幸亏抓住了普鲁斯特,请他指引正确的航线才能顺利回国。
后来,奥德赛在外漂泊十年,他的儿子也是靠着普鲁斯特的预言,才能父子团圆。
上天为了避免普鲁斯特泄露天机,便赋予他神力,让他可以随时变化身形,不易被人捉住。
因此单词Proteus(普鲁斯特)就被用来表示“善变的人”、“反复无常的人”,从他的名字还衍生了形容词protean(变化不定的;千变万化的)。
习语change like Proteus (像普鲁斯特那样善变)则被用来形容人的善变。
例句:The weather in my hometown always changes like Proteus. 我家乡的气候总是变幻莫测,难以捉摸。
