1.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，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.

3.英語(yǔ)知識(shí)方面
1-100的序數(shù)詞分為四個(gè)類。
1、第一類
first (1st) 第一
second (2nd) 第二
third (3rd) 第三
（在括號(hào)里的是縮寫形式，均在阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字后面加上相應(yīng)序數(shù)詞的最后兩個(gè)字母構(gòu)成，以下各類與此相同。）這類序數(shù)詞只有三個(gè)，在整個(gè)序數(shù)詞里面是特殊的，就和第一類基數(shù)詞一樣，需要逐個(gè)地硬記下來(lái)。
2、第二類：
fourth (4th) 第四
fifth (5th) 第五
sixth (6th) 第六
seventh (7th) 第七
eighth (8th) 第八
ninth (9th) 第九
tenth (10th) 第十
eleventh (11th) 第十一
twelfth (12th) 第十二
thirteenth (13th) 第十三
fourteenth (14th) 第十四
fifteenth (15th) 第十五
sixteenth (16th) 第十六
seventeenth (17th) 第十七
eighteenth (18th) 第十八
nineteenth (19th) 第十九
這一類序數(shù)詞共有十六個(gè)。均在相應(yīng)的基數(shù)詞后面加上后綴-th構(gòu)成。要注意其中fifth、eighth、ninth、twelth四個(gè)詞的拼法。
3、第三類：
twentieth (20th) 第二十
thirtieth (30th) 第三十
fortieth (40th) 第四十
fiftieth (50th) 第五十
sixtieth (60th) 第六十
seventieth (70th) 第七十
eightieth (80th) 第八十
ninetieth (90th) 第九十
這一類全是十位整數(shù)的序數(shù)詞，共八個(gè)。它們的構(gòu)成方法是：先將相應(yīng)的十位整數(shù)的基數(shù)詞詞尾-ty中的y改成i，然后在加上后綴-eth。
4、第四類：
thirty-first (31th) 第三十一
sixty-second (62nd) 第六十二
eighty-seventh (87th) 第八十七
ninety-eighth (98th) 第九十八
這類表示“第幾十幾”的序數(shù)詞，跟表示“幾十幾”的基數(shù)詞一樣簡(jiǎn)單。在構(gòu)成方法上均由基數(shù)詞“幾十幾”變化而來(lái)，十位數(shù)不變，僅把個(gè)位上的基數(shù)詞變成序數(shù)詞就行了。

5.英語(yǔ)基本知識(shí)有哪些
單詞 和 語(yǔ)法 一、英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)句基本結(jié)構(gòu)分析： 主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)： 主語(yǔ)：可以作主語(yǔ)的成分有名詞（如boy），主格代詞（如you），動(dòng)詞不定式，動(dòng)名詞等。
主語(yǔ)一般在句首。注意名詞單數(shù)形式常和冠詞不分家！ 謂語(yǔ)：謂語(yǔ)由動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成，是英語(yǔ)時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)變化的主角，一般在主語(yǔ)之后。
不及物動(dòng)詞（vi.）沒(méi)有賓語(yǔ)，形成主謂結(jié)構(gòu)，如：We come. 賓語(yǔ)：賓語(yǔ)位于及物動(dòng)詞之后，一般同主語(yǔ)構(gòu)成一樣，不同的是構(gòu)成賓語(yǔ)的代詞必須是‘代詞賓格’，如：me,him,them等 例：The boy needs a pen.主語(yǔ)the boy，謂語(yǔ)needs(need的第三人稱單數(shù)形式)，賓語(yǔ)a pen. 主系表結(jié)構(gòu)： 主語(yǔ)：同‘主謂賓’結(jié)構(gòu)。 聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞（Link verb）:be動(dòng)詞（am,is,are,was,were,have been）；其他聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞如：become成為，turn變成，go變。
其特點(diǎn)是聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞與其后的表語(yǔ)沒(méi)有動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，表語(yǔ)多為形容詞或副詞，既，不可能是賓語(yǔ)。 表語(yǔ)：說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)的狀態(tài)、性質(zhì)、等。
可為形容詞、副詞、名詞、代詞、不定式、分詞。當(dāng)聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞不是be，而其后是名詞和代詞時(shí)，多表達(dá)‘轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)椤猓⒁馀c動(dòng)賓關(guān)系的區(qū)別。
感官動(dòng)詞多可用作聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞：look well/面色好，sound nice/聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)，feel good/感覺(jué)好，smell bad/難聞 例：Tom is a boy.(Tom是個(gè)男孩)/主語(yǔ)為Tom，系詞為be動(dòng)詞的第三人稱單數(shù)is，表語(yǔ)為a boy There be 結(jié)構(gòu)： There be 表示‘存在有’。這里的there沒(méi)有實(shí)際意義，不可與副詞‘there那里’混淆。
此結(jié)構(gòu)后跟名詞，表示‘（存在）有某事物’ 試比較：There is a boy there.（那兒有一個(gè)男孩。）/前一個(gè)there無(wú)實(shí)意，后一個(gè)there為副詞‘那里’。
二、定語(yǔ)：定語(yǔ)是對(duì)名詞或代詞起修飾、限定作用的詞、短語(yǔ)或句子，漢語(yǔ)中常用‘……的’表示。 定語(yǔ)通常位于被修飾的成分前。
若修飾some,any,every,no構(gòu)成的復(fù)合不定代詞時(shí)，（如：something、nothing）；或不定式、分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)、從句作定語(yǔ)時(shí)，則定語(yǔ)通常置后。副詞用作定語(yǔ)時(shí)須放在名詞之后。
形容詞作定語(yǔ)： The little boy needs a blue pen.(little修飾名詞boy;blue修飾名詞pen.)/小男孩需要一支蘭色的鋼筆。 Tom is a handsome boy./Tom是個(gè)英俊的男孩。
There is a good boy./有個(gè)乖男孩。 數(shù)詞作定語(yǔ)相當(dāng)于形容詞： Two boys need two pens./兩個(gè)男孩需要兩支鋼筆。
The two boys are students./這兩個(gè)男孩是學(xué)生。 There are two boys in the room./房間里有兩個(gè)男孩。
代詞或名詞所有格作定語(yǔ)： His boy needs Tom's pen./他的男孩需要Tom的鋼筆。 His name is Tom./他的名字是湯姆。
There are two boys of Toms there./那兒有Tom家的兩個(gè)男孩。 介詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)： The boy in the classroom needs a pen of yours./教室里的男孩需要你的一支鋼筆。
The boy in blue is Tom./穿蘭色衣服的孩子是湯姆。 There are two boys of 9,and three of 10./有兩個(gè)9歲的，三個(gè)10歲的男孩。
名詞作定語(yǔ)： The boy needs a ball pen./男孩需要一支圓珠筆。 It is a ball pen./這是一支圓珠筆。
There is only one ball pen in the pencil box./這鉛筆盒里只有一支圓珠筆。 副詞作定語(yǔ)： The boy there needs a pen./那兒的男孩需要一支鋼筆。
The best boy here is Tom./這里最棒的男孩是Tom。 不定式作定語(yǔ)： The boy to write this letter needs a pen./寫這封信的男孩需要一支鋼筆。
The boy to write this letter is Tom./將要寫這封信的男孩是湯姆。 There is nothing to do today./今天無(wú)事要做。
分詞（短語(yǔ)）作定語(yǔ)： The smiling boy needs a pen bought by his mother./那個(gè)微笑的男孩需要一支他媽媽買的鋼筆。 The pen bought by her is made in China./她買的筆是中國(guó)產(chǎn)的。
There are five boys left./有五個(gè)留下的男孩。 定語(yǔ)從句： The boy who is reading needs the pen which you bought yesterday./那個(gè)在閱讀的男孩需要你昨天買的鋼筆。
The boy you will know is Tom./你將認(rèn)識(shí)的男孩叫湯姆。 There are five boys who will play the game./參加游戲的男孩有五個(gè)。

啊哈~
我是大二的~。
可以講個(gè)有哲理的趣味小短文，還要有點(diǎn)幽默，這樣才可以吸引大家的attention噢
下面這個(gè)我覺(jué)得不錯(cuò)~
你看著要哈！
A teacher said to her class:
"Who was the first man?"
“George Washington," a little boy shouted promptly.
"How do you make out that George Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher, smiling indulgently.
"Because, " said the little boy, "he was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
But at this point a larger boy held up his hand.
"Well," said the teacher to him, "who do you think was the first man?"
"I don't know what his name was," said the larger boy, "but I know it wasn't George Washington, ma'am, because the history book says George Washington married a widow, so, of course, there must have been a man ahead of him."
有個(gè)老師問(wèn)班上的學(xué)生：
“誰(shuí)是第一個(gè)男人？”
“喬治·華盛頓，”一個(gè)小男孩當(dāng)即叫道。
“你怎么知道喬治·華盛頓是第一個(gè)男人呢？”老師問(wèn)道，寬容地微笑著。
小男孩說(shuō)：“因?yàn)樗菓?zhàn)時(shí)第一，和時(shí)第一，國(guó)人心中第一?！?
這時(shí)一個(gè)大點(diǎn)兒的男孩舉起手來(lái)。
“那么，”老師對(duì)他說(shuō)，“你認(rèn)為誰(shuí)是第一個(gè)男人呢？”
“我不知道他的名字，”大點(diǎn)兒的男孩說(shuō)，“但我知道不是喬治·華盛頓，老師。因?yàn)闅v史書上說(shuō)，喬治·華盛頓取了一個(gè)寡婦，所以在他前面肯定還有一個(gè)男人?！?
然后當(dāng)然你不能就光講完故事就行啦
一是要加上自己的表情動(dòng)作
外教會(huì)比較喜歡豐富的肢體語(yǔ)言

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)了一份傳真，要求對(duì)方把職員。
8.英語(yǔ)小知識(shí)
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people's health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities. To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today. In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves. 保護(hù)環(huán)境 目前環(huán)保還存在著許多問(wèn)題。
最嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題就是空氣、水和土壤的嚴(yán)重污染。污染的空氣對(duì)人類的健康十分有害。
污染的水引起疼病，造成死亡。更有甚者，隨著現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的迅速擴(kuò)建，植被大大的減少。
為了保護(hù)環(huán)境，各國(guó)政府做了大量的工作。采用了立法措施控制大氣污染，保護(hù)森林資源和海洋資源，制止任何環(huán)境污染。
因此，在當(dāng)今的環(huán)保中政府起著最重要的作用。 我的看法是，為了保護(hù)環(huán)境，政府應(yīng)當(dāng)采取更具體的措施。
首先，應(yīng)當(dāng)通過(guò)教育的方法使人們充分謒到環(huán)境保護(hù)的重要性。第二，應(yīng)更加努力把計(jì)劃生育政策付諸實(shí)施，因?yàn)槿丝诙嗑鸵馕吨廴緡?yán)重。
最后，要嚴(yán)懲那些故意破壞環(huán)境者。使他們破壞環(huán)境就是毀滅人類自己。

The following sentence contains the 26 letters are The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. (A quick, brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.) This sentence contains 26 letters is the shortest sentence in it? Before this sentence appears in the following may be: Brick quiz whangs a jumpy veldt fox.
