5.有什么日常生活中的常識,全英文的
The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees. Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year. Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened. On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, jujube berries, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko. The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves. After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in". Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing. Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils. Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance. The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored NewY . .Atthattime, together. The meal is more luxurious than usual.

6.英語趣味小知識
趣味英語小知識 a)Ten animals I slam in a net. 我把十只動物一網(wǎng)打盡 你注意到這句話有什么特別之處嗎?對了,無論從左到右,還是從右到左,字母排列順序都是一樣的,英語把這叫做Palindromes 回文(指順讀和倒讀都一樣的詞語),關(guān)于動物的回文還有以下的例子 Otto saw pup ; pup was Otto. (奧托看見了小狗,小狗的名字叫奧托) Was it a car or a cat I saw ? Was it a rat I saw ? (我剛才看見的是條老鼠?) b)the bee's knees 又來形容最好的至高無上的東西。
[例] She is a very poor singer but she thinks she's the bee's knees. (她五音不全卻自認為是高高在上的一流歌手。) 該表現(xiàn)起源于20年代的美國,僅僅因為bee's 和 knees押韻,瑯瑯上口,迅速得到流傳,直到現(xiàn)在, 還在日常生活非正式場合的對話中經(jīng)常使用。
和時間有關(guān)的英語趣味小知識(一)時間是金,其值無價 Time is money.(時間就是金錢或一寸光陰一寸金) Time flies.(光陰似箭,日月如梭) Time has wings.(光陰去如飛) Time is a file that wears and makes no noise.(光陰如銼,細磨無聲) Time stays not the fool's leisure.(時間不等閑逛的傻瓜) Time and I against any two.(和時間攜起手來,一人抵兩人) Time is life and when the idle man kills time, he kills himself.(時間就是生命,懶人消耗時間就是消耗自己的生命?;驎r間就是生命,節(jié)省時間,就是延長生命) Time spent in vice or folly is doubly lost.(消磨于惡習(xí)或愚行的時間是加倍的損失) (二)時間是風(fēng),去而不返 Time undermines us.(光陰暗中催人才。
或莫說年紀(jì)小人生容易老) Time and tide wait for no man.(歲月不待人) Time cannot be won again.(時間一去不再來) Time is , time was , and time is past.(現(xiàn)在有時間,過去有時間,時間一去不復(fù)返) Time lost can not be recalled.(光陰一去不復(fù)返) Time flies like an arrow , and time lost never returns.(光陰似箭,一去不返) (三)時間是尺,萬物皆檢 Time tries friends as fire tries gold.(時間考驗朋友,烈火考驗黃金) Time tries truth.(時間檢驗真理) Time is the father of truth.(時間是真理之父) Time will tell.(時間能說明問題) Time brings the truth to light.(時間使真相大白?;驎r間一到,真理自明。)

所以,今天我想講幾件軼事,都是因為沒有理解聽到看到的東西而鬧出的笑話。也許,從他們的經(jīng)驗中,你也可以學(xué)到一些東西。
第一個故事發(fā)生在秘魯,一位美國婦女在餐館里用餐。她問服務(wù)員: Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands? 服務(wù)員把她帶到洗手間,可不巧,正有一些工人在粉刷洗手間的墻壁。
工人們一看有人要用洗手間,就準(zhǔn)備離開。服務(wù)員攔住他們,說: That's Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands. 在英語里,wash my hands實際上是上廁所的委婉說法。
那個服務(wù)員按照字面意思理解,結(jié)果鬧了笑話。 還有一次,一個留學(xué)生在國外的學(xué)校第一天上學(xué),心里又興奮又緊張。
一個美國人見到一張新面孔,為了表示友好,就問: Hi! What's the good word? 留學(xué)生一聽到這個,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! 他猶豫再三,想,反正我也不知道,就問問他好了。于是他吞吞吐吐地問: Hello. What's the good word? 老美聽了,很隨意地說: Oh, not much. 這下,這個留學(xué)生就更吃驚了! 原來,What's the good word? 在美語里,是一句問候語,意思是“你還好嗎?”但問話的人并不指望你把遇到的高興的事情都一一告訴他,只是打個招呼而已。
但這個留學(xué)生以為對方真的在問什么是Good word,所以鬧了笑話,不過還好,也算給他歪打正著了。 下面的故事就更有意思了。
一次,一個美國公司的管理人員給公司一個駐外分部發(fā)了一份。
