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，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.

2.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)公司的管理人員給公司一個(gè)駐外分部發(fā)了一份。

3.有木有哪些英語(yǔ)小知識(shí)和小故事呀

（故事） A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent." Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid. 很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈里。

有一只山羊不知在吃什么好東西，單獨(dú)落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去，正巧打斷了山羊的一只角。

牧羊人嚇得請(qǐng)求山羊不要告訴主人， 山羊說：“即使我不說，又怎能隱瞞下去呢？我的角已斷了，這是十分明顯的事實(shí)?！?. （知識(shí)） 讓我們學(xué)習(xí)一些有趣的小知識(shí)吧。

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)方把職員的人數(shù)報(bào)上來。他是這么說的： I need a head count telling the number of people in your factory, the number of people in your office, broken。

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。

詞組“rule of thumb”（經(jīng)驗(yàn)法則），是從一條古老的英國(guó)法律中來的，即：不能用超過大拇指粗細(xì)的東西打老婆。 9、The longest word in the English language ！ 英語(yǔ)中最長(zhǎng)的單詞是“”（硅酸鹽沉著?。? 10、More people in China speak English than in the United States。

會(huì)說英語(yǔ)的中國(guó)人比會(huì)說英語(yǔ)的美國(guó)人還多。 11、The word "listen" contains the same letters as"silent"。

單詞“l(fā)isten”（聽）和“silent”（安靜的）用到了一樣的字母。 12、Hoover vacuum cleaners were so popular in the UK that many people now refer to vacuuming as hoovering。

胡佛真空吸塵器在英國(guó)曾經(jīng)非常流行，到現(xiàn)在很多人還把“vacuuming”（吸塵）說成“hoovering”（胡佛ing…）。 13、Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards。

“Stressed”（壓力）倒過來拼就是“Desserts”（點(diǎn)心）。 14、The most used letter in the English alphabet is 'E', and'Q' is the least used！ 英語(yǔ)中使用最多的字母是“E”，用得最少的是“Q”。

15、Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a novel, "Gadsby", whichcontains over 50,000 words -- none of them with the letter E!。

8.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.
