1.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。

2.誰有小學(xué)英語趣味小知識

英語趣味小知識讓我們學(xué)習(xí)一些有趣的小知識吧。

以下是一些的英語和漢語對手指的稱呼： 1.thumb ：大拇指。與漢語相映成趣的是，英語的all(fingers and ) thumbs也表示"笨手笨腳"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這么笨呢，好像連襯衫都扣不上了。

（2）He was so excited that his fingers were all thumbs and he dropped the teacup.他激動得手都不好使了，竟把茶杯摔了。2. forefinger ：又稱index finger，即食指。

前綴fore-表示"位置靠前的"（placed at the front），所以從排位上說，forefinger應(yīng)為"第一指"。從功用上看，此手指伸出時有標示或指向的作用。

在一些英語工具書中，我們會見到這樣的表示"參見"（index）含義的手型符號。3. middle finger ：中指。

此指居中，名正言順，且與漢語說法也一致。4. ring finger：無名指。

從世界各地的婚俗習(xí)慣來說，結(jié)婚戒指（wedding ring）戴在這一手指（通常指左手）之上，表示已婚。5. little finger： 顧名思義為小指。

在美國和蘇格蘭，人們又賦予它一個愛稱，管pinkie(pinky)，后綴-ie(-y)有"小巧可愛"之意。和時間有關(guān)的英語趣味小知識職場英語 2010-02-24 17:52:16 閱讀264 評論0 字號：大中小 訂閱 （一） 時間是金，其值無價1. Time is money.（時間就是金錢或一寸光陰一寸金）2. Time flies.（光陰似箭，日月如梭）3.
