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(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)公司的管理人員給公司一個(gè)駐外分部發(fā)了一份。

和人打招呼，你可以說“What's up,bro?” Do me a solid：出門在外，問路是少不了的功課。如果你在問路的時(shí)候還是用“Would you please do me a favor……”開頭，未免顯得老土。

你應(yīng)該說：“Hey can you do me a solid？”，可別小看這樣個(gè)小小的調(diào)整，只是改了一個(gè)詞，你就顯得非?！袄辖绷耍?“The 10”、“The 5”、“The 101”：美國(guó)有大批的高速公路，如果你有朋友在那里，他可能會(huì)開車帶你到處逛逛。如果這時(shí)你們向當(dāng)?shù)厝藛柭返脑?，他們?huì)以以上方式告訴你高速公路的方向。

小貼士 1.作為游客，無論你的英語多么地道，總可能有一些奸商想打你的主意。這里再教你一招：如果你認(rèn)為有人在捉弄或是欺騙你的話，你就可以這么說：“Don't jerk my chain！”意思是別想欺騙我！學(xué)會(huì)了這句話，你的“西游”之路上麻煩就會(huì)少很多了。

2.吃了這么多的美食，玩了這么多地方，讓人感覺這樣逍遙的旅行有些不真實(shí)了，這時(shí)你可以來一句“I'm keeping it real”，在任何城市中，你說這句話可都是對(duì)這個(gè)城市一個(gè)極高的評(píng)價(jià)。

7.誰有小學(xué)英語趣味小知識(shí)

英語趣味小知識(shí)讓我們學(xué)習(xí)一些有趣的小知識(shí)吧。

以下是一些的英語和漢語對(duì)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(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)的英語趣味小知識(shí)職場(chǎng)英語 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.

8.跪求五到十篇英語小文章,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。

9.英語中有趣的短語或小知識(shí)

關(guān)于小知識(shí)的：

在生活中我們經(jīng)?？吹接⑽淖帜福且馑紖s各不相同?，F(xiàn)在給大家舉幾個(gè)例子：

處方箋上的“R”：在醫(yī)院的處方上印有一個(gè)大寫字母“R”，意思是“取下列藥品”。圖書統(tǒng)一書號(hào)上的“R”：有的圖書統(tǒng)一書號(hào)后面印有一個(gè)“R”和兩組數(shù)字，這里的“R”表示該書是少年兒童讀物。商標(biāo)上的“R”：我們經(jīng)?？吹皆谏唐钒b的一角上印有一個(gè)“R”標(biāo)記，它表示這些商品的商標(biāo)是經(jīng)過注冊(cè)的。注冊(cè)商標(biāo)符號(hào)是世界通用的。電影上的“R”：是Restricted的第一字母。在美國(guó)指限級(jí)電影，未滿17歲者必須有成年的監(jiān)護(hù)者帶領(lǐng)才能入場(chǎng)。熒光屏上的“R”：當(dāng)我們收看電視節(jié)目時(shí)，有時(shí)電視屏幕會(huì)出現(xiàn)一個(gè)標(biāo)記，并且還會(huì)一閃一閃的，它是英文Repeat的第一個(gè)字母，表示“慢鏡頭重放”。

另外，幾何和工程圖中的“R”表示半徑；熱學(xué)中的“R”表示普通氣體常數(shù)；電學(xué)中“R”表示電阻；試卷中的“R”表示正確。
