英語趣味小知識讓我們學習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慣來說，結婚戒指（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.

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，從他們的經驗中，你也可以學到一些東西。
第一個故事發(fā)生在秘魯，一位美國婦女在餐館里用餐。她問服務員： Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands？ 服務員把她帶到洗手間，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。
那個服務員按照字面意思理解，結果鬧了笑話。 還有一次，一個留學生在國外的學校第一天上學，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。

西方人眼中的數字 生活中的數字（number）無處不在，但有寫數字帶有固定的象征意義。
由于中西方國家文化背景和風俗習慣的不同，它的意義和用法也有很大的差異，聽我來介紹一下吧。就像咱們中國人（Chinese）偏愛數字8(eight)和6(six)，忌諱4(four)一樣，西方人認為3(three)和7(seven)是大吉大利的數字，會給人帶來幸福和快樂。
西方文化認為世界（the world）是由大地（land），海洋（sea）與天空（sky）三者合成的；大自然由動物（animal），植物（plant）和礦物構成，所以他們就特別喜歡3這個數字。但是西方人認為13 (thirteen)是個不祥的數字。
重大活動不安排在13號，請客避免13人入席，電影院里沒有第13排和13號座位。這是因為耶穌受難的前夜，和12個門徒共進晚餐，師徒13人中出現了一個叛徒猶大，因此，信奉基督教的民族都認為13是個不祥的數字。
國家的奧秘 拓展孩子對英美文化和歷史的了解，本期學科學習給您和孩子提供了這方面的內容，歡迎查看！“英國”的種種表達：英國的全稱是大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯合王國（The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland），簡稱為聯合王國，縮寫為the U.K. 。英國由兩個大島組成，一個是大不列顛，另一個是愛爾蘭島北部。
大不列顛由威爾士（Wales），英格蘭（England）和蘇格蘭（Scotland）三部分組成，其中英格蘭面積最大，人口最多，所以人們談起英國的時候常常稱之為England或者Britain。國家名稱和大寫字母 大家一定都知道我們的祖國的英語名稱是China吧！但是提到PRC，可能很多同學就不知道了，其實PRC也是中國的意思！在英語中，為了使用方便，很多國家名稱都可以用幾個簡單的大寫字母來代替，如： PRC =the People's Republic of China中國（中華人民共和國） CAN = Canada 加拿大 US = USA = the United States of America 美國（美利堅合眾國） UK = the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)英國（大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯合王國） 大寫字母不僅能代表國家名稱的縮略形式，還有許多的用途，例如：廁所WC；世界貿易組織WTO；光盤CD等。
大家不妨搜集一下，把這些有意義的大寫字母都放在一起，好好領略領略大寫字母的魅力吧！ 西方的進餐禮儀 歐美國家（country）的餐桌大多是長方形的，男主人（host）坐在桌子的一端，女主人（hostess）坐在另一端，通常安排座位時要盡量避免兩位男賓或兩位女賓并坐在一起。 就餐時，身體（body）要坐得端正，身體和餐桌間距離以能使用刀（knife）、叉（fork）、匙（spoon）和飲食方便為度，手臂不要放在桌上，也不要張開妨礙別人。
餐巾只用于擦嘴（mouth）和手（hands），切不可用來擦拭餐具和擦鼻涕、擦汗。用餐完畢后收起餐巾放在盤子（plate）右方。
使用knife, fork和spoon時，不要弄出聲音，不用時，也不要用手擺弄刀叉玩。當一道菜吃完，或不想再吃時，就把刀和叉并排放在一起，刀叉的柄朝自己胸部。
如未吃完，只是為了談話暫時停吃，就把刀叉擺成“八”字形，這樣服務員就不會把盤子收走。 女主人通常是主持整個宴會（party）的主人，大家注意她的動作。
入席時，特別是小型宴會，一般總要等女賓先坐下后，男賓才坐下。男賓最好還要幫鄰座的女賓拉椅子。
上菜后，一般要等女主人動手吃后，客人們（guests）才吃。宴會結束時，也由她領頭離席。
西方的進餐禮儀還有很多呢，學習英語時老師也會給孩子講到相關內容。如果有機會和孩子一起吃西餐，或者其他正餐時，何不提醒孩子注意這些餐桌禮儀呢，讓孩子變得更禮貌，更文雅。
在美國打的 你經常打的嗎？Do you often take a taxi？ 那么你們知道在美國“打的”的規(guī)矩嗎？俗話說： “When in Rome, do as Romans do.”（入鄉(xiāng)隨俗）， 所以我們也要知道一些人家的風俗。In America, if you sit ahead when you take a taxi,the driver will be very happy. 在美國，如果你坐在車前座上，司機會很高興，他會一路上與你談笑風生。
But if you sit at the back, the driver will not say a word to you. 但是，如果你坐在后座上，司機則跟你一句話也不說。即便你主動搭訕，人家也愛搭不理的。
原來啊，如果你坐在前面，說明你把司機當作了朋友；你若坐在了后面，便表明對方成了純粹為你服務的司機，你們就是雇傭關系了?，F在人們往往還是尋求金錢（money）以外的尊重（respect）與友誼（friendship），這看上去雖然只是個座位的問題，但卻體現了人與人之間的尊重。
所以啊，如果您有機會在美國打的“take a taxi”，可要記得坐在前面??！貓貓的萬種風情 1. fat cat 肥貓，指“為競選出錢的富翁；享有特權或謀取特權的人；有錢有勢的人，大亨。” 2. cool cat 酷貓，指“時髦人（尤指嗜好冷爵士樂的人）；嗜好搖滾樂的人；做出孤傲冷漠的樣子的人”。
3. hepcat 迷戀爵士樂的貓，指“爵士（或搖擺舞）音樂迷；爵士（或搖擺舞）樂隊樂師。 4. copy cat 好模仿的貓，指“盲目的模仿者（通常為兒童之間的用語）”。
5. hell cat 好發(fā)脾氣的貓，指“潑婦，巫婆”。關于hell cat 是巫婆的說法要追溯到中世紀，那是迷信。

9.有趣的英語小知識
來到美國，說到吃，肯定很多人的第一個反應是The Big Apple，不過千萬別誤會，這可是你吃不了的蘋果，它其實是紐約市的“昵稱”。
如果你旅游的目的地是The Big Apple，那我們可要說Congratulations（恭喜）了，那可是個美食之都。 關鍵詞一：食 The Big Apple：來到美國，說到吃，肯定很多人的第一個反應是The Big Apple，不過千萬別誤會，這可是你吃不了的蘋果，它其實是紐約市的“昵稱”。
如果你旅游的目的地是The Big Apple，那我們可要說Congratulations（恭喜）了，那可是個美食之都。 Hero：首先，你該到飯店去點一份hero。
別擔心，服務生不會當你是“吃英雄”的瘋子。Hero是紐約人管大個兒意大利潛水艇三明治的叫法。
當然，如果你一下子吃了十個Heroes，可能別人就會說話了：“Look at that strange gal!She's really out in left field！”這里，out in left field 專門用來形容那些古怪或者是莫名其妙的人。 Surf n'Turf：當然，美食并不只是在紐約才有，如果你有興趣，不妨到“天使之城”洛杉磯逛一圈，Surf n'Turf就是一種在洛杉磯非常普及的美食，其中主食是海鮮及牛排，可能會比較貴，但還有很多叫“dives”的便宜餐廳，你可以以合理的價格買到。

Surf n'Turf：當然，美食并不只是在紐約才有，如果你有興趣，不妨到“天使之城”洛杉磯逛一圈，Surf n'Turf就是一種在洛杉磯非常普及的美食，其中主食是海鮮及牛排，可能會比較貴，但還有很多叫“dives”的便宜餐廳，你可以以合理的價格買到這種美食。 Taco Stand:Taco Stand是另一種在洛杉磯及附近的加州城市都很常見的美食，tacos來自于拉丁美洲，但在美國加州也非常的流行。
“stand”是一種街邊小攤，你可以在那兒買到一些速食。一般這要比McDonalds（麥當勞）或是Burger King（漢堡王）那樣的速食連鎖店要便宜，但是食物要可口的多哦！ Franks：在美國的街頭，你經常會碰到一些Street vendors（街頭小販）高嚷著“Franks”，這時候你可千萬別以為他們在尋找名叫Frank的人，Franks在這里是“熱狗”的意思。
這些小販就正在Selling Hot dogs（賣熱狗）。 關鍵詞二：玩 “Bro”、“Dude”、“Brother”、“Amigo”：在美國，所有這些詞都是用來稱呼男性朋友的常用詞。
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。如果你在問路的時候還是用“Would you please do me a favor……”開頭，未免顯得老土。
你應該說：“Hey can you do me a solid？”，可別小看這樣個小小的調整，只是改了一個詞，你就顯得非?！袄辖绷?！ “The 10”、“The 5”、“The 101”：美國有大批的高速公路，如果你有朋友在那里，他可能會開車帶你到處逛逛。如果這時你們向當地人問路的話，他們會以以上方式告訴你高速公路的方向。
比如“To get to the Hollywood sign,you need to get on the Ten and……”（要去好萊塢方向的話，你得先上10號高速公路，然后……） $10 cover：如果你還想體會下美國的夜生活，你可能會在酒吧門口看到這樣一行字“$10 cover”，這時候，你可千萬別浪費時間猜它的意思，趕快掏出10美元吧，否則你可無法進去。 Hail a cab：體驗過美國的夜生活，從酒吧出來時候已經很晚了。
這時候可能你的朋友會建議你：“Hey,you should hail a cab.”這時你可千萬別心疼錢了，人家是讓你趕快叫部出租車回旅店呢。養(yǎng)好精神，第二天才能繼續(xù)快樂“西游”哦。
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！學會了這句話，你的“西游”之路上麻煩就會少很多了。
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了，這時你可以來一句“I'm keeping it real”，在任何城市中，你說這句話可都是對這個城市一個極高的評價。
