趣味英語(yǔ)小知識(shí) a)Ten animals I slam in a net. 我把十只動(dòng)物一網(wǎng)打盡 你注意到這句話有什么特別之處嗎？對(duì)了，無(wú)論從左到右，還是從右到左，字母排列順序都是一樣的，英語(yǔ)把這叫做Palindromes 回文（指順讀和倒讀都一樣的詞語(yǔ)），關(guān)于動(dòng)物的回文還有以下的例子 Otto saw pup ; pup was Otto. （奧托看見(jiàn)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(jiàn)的是條老鼠？） b)the bee's knees 又來(lái)形容最好的至高無(wú)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(rèn)為是高高在上的一流歌手。） 該表現(xiàn)起源于20年代的美國(guó)，僅僅因?yàn)閎ee'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(chǎng)合的對(duì)話中經(jīng)常使用。

所以，今天我想講幾件軼事，都是因?yàn)闆](méi)有理解聽(tīng)到看到的東西而鬧出的笑話。也許，從他們的經(jīng)驗(yàn)中，你也可以學(xué)到一些東西。
第一個(gè)故事發(fā)生在秘魯，一位美國(guó)婦女在餐館里用餐。她問(wèn)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(kāi)。服務(wù)員攔住他們，說(shuō)： That's Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands. 在英語(yǔ)里，wash my hands實(shí)際上是上廁所的委婉說(shuō)法。
那個(gè)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(gè)留學(xué)生在國(guó)外的學(xué)校第一天上學(xué)，心里又興奮又緊張。
一個(gè)美國(guó)人見(jiàn)到一張新面孔，為了表示友好，就問(wèn)： Hi! What's the good word？ 留學(xué)生一聽(tīng)到這個(gè)，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(wèn)問(wèn)他好了。于是他吞吞吐吐地問(wèn)： Hello. What's the good word？ 老美聽(tīng)了，很隨意地說(shuō)： Oh, not much. 這下，這個(gè)留學(xué)生就更吃驚了！ 原來(lái)，What's the good word？ 在美語(yǔ)里，是一句問(wèn)候語(yǔ)，意思是“你還好嗎？”但問(wèn)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(gè)招呼而已。
但這個(gè)留學(xué)生以為對(duì)方真的在問(wèn)什么是Good word，所以鬧了笑話，不過(guò)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(gè)美國(guó)公司的管理人員給公司一個(gè)駐外分部發(fā)了一份。
2.英語(yǔ)小知識(shí)
讓我們學(xué)習(xí)一些有趣的小知識(shí)吧。
以下是一些的英語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)對(duì)手指的稱(chēng)呼： 1.thumb ：大拇指。與漢語(yǔ)相映成趣的是，英語(yǔ)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(dòng)得手都不好使了，竟把茶杯摔了。2. forefinger ：又稱(chēng)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(shuō)，forefinger應(yīng)為"第一指"。從功用上看，此手指伸出時(shí)有標(biāo)示或指向的作用。
在一些英語(yǔ)工具書(shū)中，我們會(huì)見(jiàn)到這樣的表示"參見(jiàn)"（index）含義的手型符號(hào)。3. middle finger ：中指。
此指居中，名正言順，且與漢語(yǔ)說(shuō)法也一致。4. ring finger：無(wú)名指。
從世界各地的婚俗習(xí)慣來(lái)說(shuō)，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(guó)和蘇格蘭，人們又賦予它一個(gè)愛(ài)稱(chēng)，管pinkie(pinky)，后綴-ie(-y)有"小巧可愛(ài)"之意。和時(shí)間有關(guān)的英語(yǔ)趣味小知識(shí)職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ) 2010-02-24 17:52:16 閱讀264 評(píng)論0 字號(hào)：大中小 訂閱 （一） 時(shí)間是金，其值無(wú)價(jià)1.
