3.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，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)見到這樣的表示"參見"（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(guó)和蘇格蘭，人們又賦予它一個(gè)愛稱，管pinkie(pinky)，后綴-ie(-y)有"小巧可愛"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，其值無價(jià)1.

4.跪求五到十篇英語(yǔ)小文章,要比較好懂一些的,適合初一學(xué)生讀的

1.Learning:A Lifelong Career【學(xué)習(xí)：一生的事業(yè)】 As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career. 學(xué)習(xí)之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。

攝取了適量的營(yíng)養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長(zhǎng)而肌肉得以發(fā)達(dá)。同樣地，我們應(yīng)該日復(fù)一日不斷地學(xué)習(xí)以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴(kuò)充我們的智力容量。

不斷的學(xué)習(xí)提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅(qū)使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學(xué)習(xí)是在信息時(shí)代中跟時(shí)代并駕齊驅(qū)的最穩(wěn)當(dāng)?shù)姆椒?，也是在變?dòng)的世代中成功的可靠保證。

一旦學(xué)習(xí)停止，單調(diào)貧乏的生活就開始了。視學(xué)校為汲取知識(shí)的唯一場(chǎng)所是種常見的謬誤。

相反地，學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動(dòng)，只要學(xué)習(xí)停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。

更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識(shí)深處的獸性本能就會(huì)復(fù)活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們?nèi)烁竦挠Ｈ鄙賹W(xué)習(xí)將不可避免地導(dǎo)致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。

因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)作一生的事業(yè)。 2.heavy shoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】 In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole. 我認(rèn)為目前高中生的課業(yè)實(shí)在太重了，雖然說學(xué)生的確應(yīng)當(dāng)念書，但是要想長(zhǎng)大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應(yīng)該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時(shí)間。

娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，它可以讓學(xué)生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴(yán)重的情緒緊張，這對(duì)身心都有害。

我并非主張廢除學(xué)校課業(yè)，但是我認(rèn)為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對(duì)于學(xué)生和整個(gè)社會(huì)都是有益的。 3.Time【時(shí)間】 Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change. Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I've done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time. 時(shí)光一去不復(fù)返，這是我上學(xué)期清楚學(xué)到的教訓(xùn)。

我浪費(fèi)很多時(shí)間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績(jī)開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時(shí)候了。

現(xiàn)在我有一個(gè)明智運(yùn)用時(shí)間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時(shí)，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。

我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時(shí)間記錄下來?；仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀?huì)啟發(fā)我如何重新安排我的時(shí)間。

4.Work and Play【工作與娛樂】 Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tire。

5.求英語(yǔ)小短文（英漢對(duì)照）7

1THE NEWSPAPER 報(bào) 紙Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances.現(xiàn)今報(bào)紙擁有極大的價(jià)值，人人都應(yīng)該看它。

它每天提供我們各種類類的消息。它告訴我們世界政治局勢(shì)。

如果我們養(yǎng)成看報(bào)的習(xí)慣，我們就能得到足夠的知識(shí)來因應(yīng)我們的環(huán)境。學(xué)生雖然每天須做功課，但他們至少應(yīng)該勻出一兩個(gè)小時(shí)來看報(bào)。

哪些，他們不但能增加知識(shí)而且也能趕上時(shí)代。總而言之，看報(bào)對(duì)學(xué)生很有益處。

2MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.I get up at six o'clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o'clock.After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o'clock.Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.雖然我的日常生活十分單調(diào)，但我卻竭力設(shè)法去適應(yīng)它。為什么？因?yàn)槲掖蛩阕鲆粋€(gè)好學(xué)生，希望將來為國(guó)家服務(wù)。

我每天六點(diǎn)起床、洗臉?biāo)⒀篮?，就開始復(fù)習(xí)功課，七點(diǎn)鐘我就去上學(xué)。放學(xué)后，我就回家了。

我們通常在七點(diǎn)鐘吃晚餐，之后我就開始做家庭作業(yè)，希望在睡覺前把它做完。3A MODEL STUDENT 模范學(xué)生Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.你價(jià)意被稱為壞學(xué)生嗎？當(dāng)然不。

就我所知，每個(gè)人都打算做模范學(xué)生。然而，做模范學(xué)生卻不容易。

第一，他必須盡力獲得知識(shí)（求知）。一個(gè)沒有足夠知識(shí)的人是不會(huì)成功的。

第二，他必須記住促進(jìn)健康。只有強(qiáng)壯的人才能做大事。

第三，他應(yīng)該接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，沒有人會(huì)考慮和他交朋友的。

4HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何獲得快樂There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.無疑的快樂是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒有它，人生將是空虛的而且毫無意義的。

如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂，你須注意下面兩點(diǎn)。健康是快樂的要訣。

唯有身體強(qiáng)壯的人才能享受人生的樂趣。5Osaka 大阪Osaka is located at the approximate center of Japan.

6.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，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)見到這樣的表示"參見"（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(guó)和蘇格蘭，人們又賦予它一個(gè)愛稱，管pinkie(pinky)，后綴-ie(-y)有"小巧可愛"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，其值無價(jià)1.

7.20條有趣的英語(yǔ)小知識(shí)

1、According to a research project at Cambridge Uiversity, it doesn't matter what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. This is because the human mind does not read every letter。

劍橋大學(xué)的研究表明：?jiǎn)卧~中字母的順序如何不重要，重要的是第一個(gè)和最后一個(gè)字母的位置。這是因?yàn)榇竽X在閱讀時(shí)不會(huì)讀到所有字母。

2、'WAS IT A CAR OR A CAT I SAW'. This is the only English sentence which even if we read in reverse, it'll give the same sentence。 （我看到的是一輛車還是一只貓）這是英語(yǔ)中唯一一句反過來念還是一樣的句子。

3、"Goodbye" came from "God bye" which came from "God be with you"。 英語(yǔ)單詞“Goodbye”來自于“God bye”，原意是“上帝與你同在”。

4、The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog."uses every letter of the alphabet！ （這只敏捷的棕色狐貍跳過了一只懶狗）這句話用到了字母表中的所有字母！ 5、"Go", is the shortest complete sentence in the English language。 “Go”是英語(yǔ)中最短的完整句子。

6、The onion is named after the Latin word 'unio' meaning large pearl。 單詞“onion”（洋蔥）來自于拉丁詞“unio”，意思是大珍珠。

7、The word Tips is actually an acronym standing for 'To Insure Prompt Service'。 單詞“tips”（小費(fèi)）實(shí)際上是“To Insure Prompt Service”（保障快捷的服務(wù)）的首字母縮寫！ 8、The phrase 'rule of thumb' is derived from and old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb。

8.英語(yǔ)趣味小知識(shí)

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. （奧托看見了小狗，小狗的名字叫奧托） Was it a car or a cat I saw ?

所以，今天我想講幾件軼事，都是因?yàn)闆]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(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(yǔ)里，wash my hands實(shí)際上是上廁所的委婉說法。

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(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(gè)留學(xué)生就更吃驚了！ 原來，What's the good word？ 在美語(yǔ)里，是一句問候語(yǔ)，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(gè)招呼而已。

但這個(gè)留學(xué)生以為對(duì)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(gè)美國(guó)公司的管理人。
