篇7：Sell习语
Sell习语精选
1. hard sell 强行推销
I wanted a cheap car without a lot of extras. But the salesman gave me a hard sell so I ended up with stuff I didn't need, like leather seats, a sun roof and a lot of other things.
我本来只想买一辆没什么额外设备的廉价车，可那个推销员软磨硬泡让我买下了皮座椅、天窗之类那些并不必需的设备，
什么原因迫使他多花钱买这些装置的呢?那得归究于推销员的强行推销手段了。所以这儿hard sell意思就是“强行推销”，也就是硬让别人买东西。
2. sell a bill of goods 以花言巧语骗取信任
My friends, my opponent is selling you a bill of goods when he promises to spend more on schools and cut taxes too. You ask him how he can spend more money without raising taxes!
朋友们，我的对手既保证要给学校多拨款，又答应减税，其实这两者不可兼得。他怎么可能做到既多花钱又不加税呢?
A bill of goods意思是进货单。注意，这只是开列货品的`单子，不是实物。如果有人要你出钱买的只是货单，他很可能在行骗，因为货单只是一纸空文而已。Sell a bill of goods这个习惯用语多年来已经被广泛应用到商界以外的场合，表示“用花言巧语骗取信任”的意思，
3. sell somebody down the river 出卖某人的利益
Our boss promised he'd never sell our company to another firm. But when he got a good offer, he sold us down the river, and the new owners brought in their own people and fired us.
我们的老板曾经保证绝对不转让我们的公司，但是当别人肯出好价钱的时候，他就出卖了我们的利益。新老板把自己人都拉进公司来，却把我们炒了鱿鱼。
这个说法得上溯到150多年前美国实行黑奴制度的时代。当时一名黑奴的最大悲剧可能就是被转卖给密西西比河下游的另一个主人，因为那意味着妻离子散的命运和在棉花地里累断筋骨的操劳。当年很多黑奴就死于这种非人的待遇。所以sell down the river就是出卖某人、令人陷入厄运的意思。这个习惯用语现在多用来表示“出卖某人利益”的意思。
4. sell somebody short 小看某人
Don't sell that man short. He's one of the smartest lawyers in town. You'd be wise to hire him if you're in trouble - he seldom loses a case.
可别小看了这个人。他是城里最能干的律师之一。你要有麻烦找他才对，他从没输过一场官司。
这个短语的意思很像中国俗语“把人瞧扁了”，也就是没看到某人的长处。所以sell someone short意思就是“小看某人。”

篇9：美国习语
美国习语:错了我就不姓王，伤心欲绝的悲痛
Michigan has a great football team this fall. If we don't win the national championship this year, I'll eat my hat. One thing I do know something about -- playing the stock market. And I'll eat my hat if it doesn't go up another 300 points by the end of the year. Ever since grandmother died, grandfather has been eating his heart out -- he's lost all interest in life and won't even get out of bed to eat. Hey, Pete, you know that girl in the physics class you like so much, the one who won't pay any attention to you? Well, eat your heart out, buddy -- I'm taking her out for dinner and a movie Saturday night.
To eat one's hat To eat one's heart out 要是我们仔细想一想的话，恐怕每个人都有不能兑现自己所说的话的时候，在中文里我们有时把这种现象叫做：食言。英文也有和中文同样的说法，那就是：to eat one's words。 To eat one's words是一个很普遍的俗语。今天我们首先要给大家介绍一个和to eat one's words相仿的习惯用语。那就是：to eat one's hat。当一个人说to eat his hat，那就是他十分肯定他说的话是对的，要是他错了，他宁可把自己的帽子给吃了。中文的意思就是：要是他错了，他就不姓张，或不姓李等等。 举个例子来说吧：一个密执安大学的研究生王某某对自己的学校感到非常骄傲，他对他的朋友说： “Michigan has a great football team this fall. If we don't win the national championship this year, I'll eat my hat.” 这个学生说：“密执安大学今年秋天绝对会有一个非常强的足球队。要是我们今年不能获得全国足球赛冠军的话，我就不姓王。” 下面这个例子是一个姓李的股票商正在对他的顾客说话，预测股票市场的前景。他说： “One thing I do know something about -- playing the stock market. And I'll eat my hat if it doesn't go up another 300 points by the end of the year.” 这位股票商说：“有一样东西我还懂得一点，那就是玩股票市场。要是到今年年底股票价格不上升三百个百分点的话，我就不姓李。” 下面我们要讲的一个习惯用语也是和“吃”，也就是eat这个字有关的，但是不是吃帽子，而是to eat one's heart out。大家都知道，heart就是人的“心”。To eat one's heart out难道是吃人心吗?具体来说，to eat one's heart out不是这个意思。但是，从某种意义上来说也确实包含着这种含义。To eat one's heart out的真正意思是：非常沉痛和绝望的悲痛。下面的例子是一个朋友在告诉他的朋友关于家里发生的不幸的事： “Ever since grandmother died, grandfather has been eating his heart out -- he's lost all interest in life and won't even get out of bed to eat.” 这个人说：“自从祖母去世后，祖父非常伤心，他对生活失去了一切兴趣，都不愿意起床吃饭。” To eat one's heart out还可以用在另一种场合，也就是半开玩笑地让别人对你产生妒忌。你听了下面这个例子就会明白它的意思了。这是一个大学生在对他的要好朋友说话： “Hey, Pete, you know that girl in the physics class you like so much, the one who won't pay any attention to you? Well, eat your heart out, buddy -- I'm taking her out for dinner and a movie Saturday night.” 他说：“喂，彼得，你知道那个和我们一起上物理课的女孩吗?那个你非常喜欢，但是她从来也没注意过你的女孩?这下好了，你去伤心去吧，我星期六请她出去吃晚饭、看电影!” 听了这种话，再好的朋友恐怕也会生气的。所以，除非你当真把它作为开玩笑，而且肯定对方也把它当做玩笑，否则还是不要叫别人去eat his heart out。 今天我们讲了两个俗语，一个是：to eat one's hat，这是指一个人打赌说自己说的话绝对正确。我们今天讲的第二个俗语是：to eat one's heart out，这是指悲痛，或半开玩笑地让别人对你产生妒忌心理。
美国习语: 自作主张的人，很大的成功
I know this guy is a smart political worker. But he's hard to control. In fact, he's a loose cannon who might do more damage to our side than the man I'm running against. A story from Hollywood said that the new James Bond film is the blockbuster film of the season. The biggest Hollywood blockbuster of all time still remains “Gone With the Wind”, the classic picture about the Civil War. And the amazing thing is it was made back in 1939.
战争往往给语言留下深刻的痕迹。当战火停息，一切恢复正常以后，一些带火药味的字和词汇经常会变成人们日常的用语来形容那些和战场没有太大关系的人或事物。 有的俗语甚至还反映了两百年前打仗的形式，例如，美国人经常会说某个人是一个：loose cannon。大家都知道， loose 是松散的意思，而 cannon 是指大炮。 Loose cannon 的来历是几百年前当人们在海上作战时，他们往往在船上放好些大炮，每一座大炮放在一个带四个轮子的平台上。在战争间隙的时候，船员们用很粗的绳子把这些大炮栓住，不让它们随便移动。可是，当风暴来临，这些绳子在风浪的冲击下断了以后，大炮就会在船甲板上到处滚动，会把那些不幸就在大炮旁边的船员轧死，这比真正的敌人还要危险。 现在， loose cannon 的意思和打仗并没有什么关系。人们把 loose cannon 用来指一个失去控制、无视权威、打破常轨的人，这种人往往会伤害和他自己站在一边的人。例如，有些美国政府官员在重大问题上擅自采取行动，也不向总统汇报。国会议员就把这些人称为 loose cannon。下面的例子是一个政治家在谈论一个要为他竞选连任参加工作的人： “I know this guy is a smart political worker. But he's hard to control. In fact, he's a loose cannon who might do more damage to our side than the man I'm running against.” 这句话的意思是：“我知道这家伙在政治工作方面很聪明。但是，这个人很难控制。实际上，他就像一个没有约束的大炮，给我们造成的危害可能会比我竞选对手造成的危害更大。” 我们今天要给大家介绍的第二个和战争有关的俗语是：blockbuster。 Blockbuster 原来是第二次世界大战期间联军在和纳粹德国进行空战中用的武器，这种武器的力量十分强大，它可以把城市中两条街之间的所有楼房夷为平地。而现在，blockbuster 是指某件事取得很大的成功，特别是指文艺界一些成功的电影、歌曲、剧本等。例如： “A story from Hollywood said that the new James Bond film is the blockbuster film of the season.” 这是说：“好莱坞的一篇文章说，詹姆斯·邦德新拍的那个电影是这一季度最成功的片子。” 你可能很熟悉下面这个例子中提到的那个电影： “The biggest Hollywood blockbuster of all time still remains ”Gone With the Wind“, the classic picture about the civil war. And the amazing thing is it was made back in 1939.” 这句话的意思是：“好莱坞历来最成功的片子仍然是关于美国南北战争的经典作品「飘」。令人惊奇的是这部片子还是早在1939年拍摄的。” 今天我们讲了两个和战争有关的俗语。第一个是：loose cannon， loose cannon 是指那些自作主张、无视权威、难以控制的人。我们今天讲的第二个俗语是： blockbuster，blockbuster 是指某个项目取得很大成功的意思，特别是指文艺界作品的成功。
美国习语:坐立不安，七上八下
The company financial report isn't due until next Friday. But the boss has ants in his pants and wants us to have it all ready for him on Tuesday morning. Say, what happened to the order for table seven? The guy's been waiting for a half hour and he's really getting ants in his pants for the cheeseburger and fries he ordered. Sitting there at my sister's wedding dinner, I had butterflies in my stomach because I know I'd have to stand up and make a speech. Yeah, sure I had butterflies in my stomach in the locker room. But once I got out on the court and caught that first pass, I was just fine.
ants in your pants to have butterflies in one's stomach 科学家们说，昆虫，也就是我们一般说的小虫子，对人类有不少好处。到目前为止，科学家们已经发现的昆虫共有七十万种。世界上竟然会有这么多不同的小虫子，你可能会觉得难以相信。有些小虫子，我们还少不了它们，例如，蜜蜂传播花粉，使得植物得以繁殖。还有些虫子会杀害虫，在有的国家里，小虫子还能当食品。可是，尽管如此，大概喜欢蟑螂的人还是不多的。 美国的成语和俗语就可以反应出人们很讨厌那些生活在我们周围的小虫子。今天我们来向大家解释两个成语，都是和小虫子有关的。我们要讲的第一个俗语是 ants in your pants。 Ants 就是蚂蚁， pants 就是裤子。蚂蚁钻进了裤子，你可以想象是个什么滋味了。你肯定坐不住了。 Ants in your pants 这个俗语的意思就是一个人很紧张，坐立不安。我们来举个例子吧： “The company financial report isn't due until next Friday. But the boss has ants in his pants and wants us to have it all ready for him on Tuesday morning.” 这句话的意思是：“我们公司的财务报告应该是下星期五才交。但是，我们的老板紧张得要命，非要我们在星期二早上就交给他。” 坐立不安并不一定是由于精神紧张。有的时候，不耐烦的心情也会使人坐立不安。下面就是一个小饭馆的女服务员在和厨师讲话： “Say, what happened to the order for table seven? The guy's been waiting for a half hour and he's really getting ants in his pants for the cheeseburger and fries he ordered.” 这位服务员说：“喂，七号桌子点的东西好了吗? 那人等他点的奶酪汉堡包和炸薯条已经等了半个小时啦，他都有点不耐烦了。” 有些蝴蝶是很漂亮的。但是，他们在美国一个俗语里出现的时候就不见得漂亮了。这个俗语是这么说的： To have butterflies in one's stomach。大家都知道， butterflies 是指蝴蝶， stomach 是人身体里消化食品的胃。 To have butterflies in one's stomach，从字面上来解释就是，一个人的胃里有蝴蝶。可是，这个说法的真正意思是一种持续不断的恐惧、紧张或忧虑的心情，和中文里说的“心里感到七上八下”很相似。要是你很怕在大庭广众发表讲话的话，你就可能对你的朋友说： “Sitting there at my sister's wedding dinner, I had butterflies in my stomach because I know I'd have to stand up and make a speech.” 这句话的意思是：“我姐姐结婚那天晚上举行宴会的时候，我坐在那里心里直感到七上八下，因为我知道我得站起来讲话。” 我们再来听听一个篮球运动员在比赛完毕后讲的话： “Yeah, sure I had butterflies in my stomach in the locker room. But once I got out on the court and caught that first pass, I was just fine.” 这位篮球运动员说：“比赛前在更衣室里的时候，我当然感到很紧张不安。可是，等我一上场，接到第一个传来的球的时候，我就没事了。 今天我们给大家介绍了两个俗语,第一个是 ants in your pants。 Ants in your pants 是坐立不安的意思。这种坐立不安的心情可能由各种原因造成的，例如紧张，或是不耐烦等。我们今天讲的第二个俗语是 to have butterflies in one's stomach。这是指心情不安，心里感到七上八下的意思。
美国习语:完美无缺，吃酸葡萄
Sally and Joe had a big fight last week, but they've made up and now everything is peaches and cream again. Peter's sister is a lovely girl. She has a real peaches and cream complexion, soft and white as milk and a touch of pink like a fresh ripe peach. Bill was sure that he'd be elected class president. But when Mary beat him in the voting, he told us he was glad he didn't get the job because it was too much work. That's nothing but sour grapes. Talk about a clear case of sour grapes. When Bob's girl left him to marry another man, he went around telling anybody who would listen that he left her because she wasn't good enough for him.
英文里”水果“这个字，也就是 ”fruit“ 是来自很早以前的一个拉丁文里的动词，意思是”享受“。而事实上也确实如此，香蕉、苹果、橘子、樱桃、桃子或葡萄等水果放在果盘里看起来都十分吸引人。因此、有关水果的俗语往往是具有一种肯定和完善的含义，例如：peaches and cream。 大家知道 peaches 就是桃子， cream 是指奶油。 Peaches and cream的意思是：一切都很美好。有人可能会问：桃子和奶油有什么关系呢?这是因为美国人在吃水果时往往喜欢把水果切成块，然后加一点奶油一起吃。实际上，美国人吃很多东西都喜欢和奶油一起吃。所以，peaches and cream 就意味着完美无缺。请听下面这个例子： ”Sally and Joe had a big fight last week, but they've made up and now everything is peaches and cream again.“ 这句话的意思是：”沙莉和乔伊上星期大吵了一场。可是，后来他们互相谈开了，现在他们又很要好了。“ Peaches and cream 还可以形容一个年轻少女容光焕发的面孔： ”Peter's sister is a lovely girl. She has a real peaches and cream complexion, soft and white as milk and a touch of pink like a fresh ripe peach.“ 这人说：”比德的妹妹是一个可爱的女孩。她的皮肤真是完美无缺，柔软洁白得像牛奶，还透露出一点像成熟了的新鲜桃子的粉色。“ 可是，水果在美国成语里也并不千篇 一律地含有褒意，有的时候也反映了反面的意思。下面我们要讲的一个俗语就是一个例子：sour grapes。 Sour 是酸的意思，grapes 就是葡萄。中文里也有酸葡萄的说法，而且中英文的意思也完全相同。举个例子就能说明这一点： ”Bill was sure he'd be elected class president. But when Mary beat him in the voting, he told us he was glad he didn't get the job because it was too much work. That's nothing but sour grapes!“ 这句话翻成中文是说：”比尔开始认为他肯定能当选为班主席。但是，当玛丽在选举中击败他以后，他对我们说，他很高兴他没有得到这个职位，因为当了班主席工作太多了。他这么说纯属是吃酸葡萄!“ 下面是另一个关于 sour grapes 的例子： ”Talk about a clear case of sour grapes! When Bob's girl friend left him to marry another man, he went around telling anybody who would listen that he left her because she wasn't good enough for him.“ 这人说：”要说吃酸葡萄吧，这件事可是很明显的了。当鲍勃的女朋友和另外一个人结婚后，鲍勃到处去对那些愿意听他诉苦的人说，是他不要他的女朋友的，因为他的女朋友配不上他。“ 今天我们讲了两个和水果 fruit 这个字有联系的俗语。第一个是 peaches and cream。 Peaches and cream 是指一切都很完美。我们讲的第二个俗语是 sour grapes。 Sour grapes 跟中文里的说法”酸葡萄“的意思一样。
美国习语: 跳蚤市场，嘴巴闭紧
I was lucky when I went to the flea market today. In the middle of all the worthless junk I found a carved jade Chinese snuff bottle and bought it for $5 : the seller didn't know what it was. For me a flea market is a sad place -- all those memories of the past: stuff that used to be precious to people who have died or grown old or just moved away. Hey, clam up, will you! I've heard enough already about how hard you work in the office. The cops found a man they know was a witness to the murder. But he has clammed up and won't talk -- he's afraid the killer's mob will come after him if he testifies in court.
科学家们说，世界上有许多昆虫对人类是有益的，但是也有好多小虫子使人感到讨厌，比如说像蚊子、苍蝇、跳蚤等。特别是跳蚤，它虽小，但是咬起人来很利害，让人感到非常痒，而且还可能会传染致命的病菌。可是，美国人倒是很喜欢跳蚤市场。跳蚤市场在英文里就是叫：flea market。 什么是flea market呢?Flea market实际上和跳蚤一点关系都没有。Flea market是一种往往在周末举行的非正式集市，flea market一般都是在户外，那儿有许多摊贩出售各种各样的东西，有不少都是用过的旧东西，新的东西也有，但是质量一般都比较差，价钱也很便宜。可是，要是你眼光敏锐的话，你能花很少的钱买到很有价值的古董和其他东西，就像下面这个人一样： ”I was lucky when I went to the flea market today. In the middle of all the worthless junk I found a carved jade Chinese snuff bottle and bought it for five dollars: the seller didn't know what it was.“ 这个人说：”我今天去跳蚤市场，运气还真不错。在那些毫无用处的破玩意儿堆里，我找到一个中国鼻烟壶，是用玉做的，上面还有雕刻。我才化了五块钱。卖东西的人根本不知道那是什么东西。“ 有的人很容易伤感，看到一些旧的东西就触景生情，钩起他们对以往的回忆。下面就是一个例子： ”For me a flea market is a sad place--all those memories of the past: stuff that used to be precious to people who have died or grown old or just moved away.“ 这人说：”在我看来，跳蚤市场是一个令人感伤的地方，市场上卖的东西过去对一些人来说是很宝贵的，但是他们老的老了，死的死了，有的人也已经不知去向了。“ 下面我们要给大家介绍的一个习惯用语也很有趣，有时也很有用：to clam up。Clam在中文里就是蛤蜊，当蛤蜊外面的壳关起来的时候，你要想把它打开是不容易的。因此，clam up的意思就是嘴巴闭得紧紧的。当然，在不同场合，它的意思也就有所不同。下面这个例子是一个人听他朋友讲话听得太腻味了，于是他对他的朋友说： ”Hey, clam up, will you! I've heard enough already about how hard you work in the office!“ 这个人说：”咳，你别说了，行不行!我已经听够了你在办公室工作多卖力的话了。“ 下面这个例子的情况可完全不同了。这是要这个人说话，可是他偏不说： ”The cops found a man they know was a witness to the murder. But he has clammed up and won't talk--he's afraid the killer's mob will come after him if he testifies in court.“ 这句话的意思是：”警察找到了一个人，他们知道他是一起谋杀案的目击者。可是，他嘴巴很紧，什么也不肯说，他怕要是他出庭作证，那个谋杀集团不会放过他。“ 我们在今天的美国习惯用语: 节目里给大家介绍了两个和小动物有关的习惯用语。第一个是：flea market。Flea market是一种非正式的市场，专卖一些旧的或质量比较差的便宜货。今天我们讲的第二个习惯用语是：to clam up。To clam up的意思是把嘴巴闭紧，不说话。
篇10：美国习语
美国习语:不信任的嘲笑，令人满意的笑了
When this guy running for Congress told us how much money he'd save us taxpayers, we all gave him the horse laugh. We knew when he was in the state legislature he always voted for higher taxes. Harry thinks he's God's gift to women: that none of them can resist his charm. So we all gave him the horse laugh when he asked the new girl in class to go to a movie and she told him to get lost. I used to laugh at my roommate in college -- he'd stay in and study on weekends while I went out for a good time. But I guess he has the last laugh on me. He's a famous brain surgeon and me, I'm selling used cars and barely make enough to live on.
笑是最好的药品。不管这句话对不对，美国大众读物「读者文摘」的一个笑话拦就是用这句话来做标题的。但是，笑并不一定总是显示高兴或快乐。笑这个字，也就是英文里的laugh，在一般情况下都含有褒意，可有的时候却包含一种贬意，类似耻笑、讥笑、冷笑等，这些当然不会是好的药品。今天我们要讲两个由laugh这个字组成的习惯用语，一个是 a horse laugh，另一个是 the last laugh。从这两个词汇中，我们就可以看到laugh这个字在英文里和中文一样具有正反两面的含义。现在，我们先来讲 a horse laugh。Horse就是一头马。A horse laugh在英文里并不是指马在笑。作为一个俗语，a horse laugh是一种表示不信任的嘲笑。下面这个例子是说一些人对某个竞选议员的候选人表示不信任： 例句-1: ”When this guy running for Congres told us how much money he'd save us taxpayers, we all gave him the horse laugh. We knew when he was in the state legislature he always voted for higher taxes.“ 这句话翻成中文就是说：”当这个竞选国会议员席位的人对我们说，他会为我们这些缴税的人省多少钱的时候，我们大家都哄堂大笑。我们知道，在他担任州议员的期间，他老是投票赞成提高税收的。“ 我们再来举个例子，看看 a horse laugh 在句子里是怎么用的： 例句-2: ”Harry thinks he's God's gift to women: that none of them can resist his charm. So we all gave him the horse laugh when he asked the new girl in class to go to a movie and she told him to get lost.“ 这句话是说：”哈里总是以为自己具有莫大的魅力，女人们都被他倾倒，他就像上帝恩赐给女人的礼物一样。所以，当他请班里新来的那个女孩去看电影，而被那女孩毫不客气地拒绝了以后，我们都禁不住地嘲笑他。 下面我们要讲的一个和 laugh 这个字有关的俗语是 the last laugh。The last laugh的意思就是，在某人开始做一件事情的时候，许多人都说他不会成功。但是最后他还是成功了。这时候，他的心里很高兴，也许还很得意，这就是the last laugh。发明飞行的赖特兄弟两人就是一个例子。当他们在19十二月宣布他们将实现人类飞行的梦想的时候，有的报纸写文章讥笑他们。可正是那一天，他们开创了人类进入飞行的新时代。The last laugh可以说是最令人满意的笑了。我们来举个例子吧： 例句-3: “I used to laugh at my roommate in college -- he'd stay in and study on weekends while I went out for a good time. But I guess he has the last laugh on me. He's a famous brain surgeon and me, I'm selling used cars and barely make enough to live on.” 这个人说：“我过去在大学的时候总是笑话我同宿舍的同学，因为他周末老是呆在学校念书，而我总是出去玩。现在，我猜想他一定很得意地在笑我。他已经成为一个脑外科专家，而我则以卖旧汽车为生，只能勉强糊口。” 以上我们向大家介绍了两个和laugh这个字有关的词汇。它们是a horse laugh和the last laugh。
美国习语: 亲你要hold住，一定保密哦!

Now hang on to your hat -- the boss says he wants me to take charge of the new office in Honolulu. How about that for a nice surprise ! Mary told me her husband is seeing another woman and she's thinking about leaving him but please keep it under your hat. Can you keep a secret? The boss's secretary just told me she's leaving for another job. She told me not to tell anybody else, so keep it under your hat.
hang on to your hat to keep something under your hat 要是你头上根本没有戴帽子，而有人对你说：Hang on to your hat，hang on就是抓住的意思，所以Hang on to your hat从字面上解释就是：抓住你的帽子。可是，你既没有戴帽子，为什么人家要叫你：抓住你的帽子呢?实际上，hang on to your hat是一个俗语，不能按它的字面来解释。Hang on to your hat这个俗语的真实意思就是：有特别惊人的消息，你要准备好，不要因为过于惊奇而让帽子都从头上掉了下来。下面这个例子是一个女子在对她的朋友说话： “Hang on to your hat--you won't believe this but last night Bill asked me to marry him!” 她说：“告诉你一件特大消息，你肯定不会相信。可是，昨天晚上比尔向我求婚啦!” 恋爱、成亲当然是件喜事。可是，对那些已经结了婚的人来说，喜从何来呢?他们也有各式各样的喜事。美国人都很向往到夏威夷的檀香山去，那里四季温暖，景色迷人，当地人又是以对人友好著称。所以，下面这个例子里说话的人当然就很高兴了： “Hi, honey, I have something to tell you! Now hang on to your hat--the boss says he wants me to take charge of the new office in Honolulu. How about that for a nice surprise!” 这个人对他的太太说：“亲爱的，我要告诉你一个消息。你得小心听着：我的老板说，他要我负责管理檀香山新开办的分公司。怎么样，这个出人意料的消息真不错吧!” 帽子是一个藏东西的好地方，不管是把一封信放在帽子底下不让别人看到，还是戴上一顶帽子把自己的秃顶遮起来。下面我们要讲的一个俗语就是这个意思：to keep something under your hat。To keep something under your hat的意思就是：我要告诉你一个秘密，但是千万不要告诉任何人。例如，下面这个女子正在告诉她的朋友有关另一个朋友的秘密，她说： “Mary told me her husband is seeing another woman and she's thinking about leaving him but please keep it under your hat.” 她说：“玛丽告诉我她的丈夫有外遇。玛丽正在考虑跟她丈夫分手。不过，请你千万不要对别人说。” 世界上要保密的事好像很多。下面又是一个例子： “Can you keep a secret? The boss's secretary just told me she's leaving for another job. She told me not to tell anybody else, so keep it under your hat.” 这个人说：“你能保密吗?我们老板的秘书刚刚告诉我老板要上别处去工作了。他的秘书叫我不要对任何人说，所以你得保密呀!” 我们今天讲了两个和“hat”这个字有关的习惯用语。第一个是：hang on to your hat。Hang on to your hat这个俗语的意思是：马上就要告诉你一个惊人的消息，所以准备好，不要过于震惊。我们今天给大家介绍的第二个和“hat”这个字有关的习惯用语是：to keep something under your hat。To keep something under your hat的意思就是保密。
美国习语: 害群之馬，善意谎言
Uncle Joe is the black sheep in the family. Instead of getting a job, all he does is drink too much, gamble away any money he gets and chase after women. We all thought my youngest brother was the black sheep in our family. In fact he was in so much trouble he ran away to Australia. But he started a new life there, married a wonderful girl, and now he's a millionaire. I told a white lie when I told Jennie her boyfriend was good-looking. The truth is he's just about the ugliest man I've ever seen. My mother and dad taught me never to tell a lie. So I feel guilty every time I tell even a little white lie, although I do it just to make somebody feel better.
黑颜色和白颜色往往是对立的。黑代表黑夜和邪恶，而白象征着日光、善良或美德。在美国好莱坞早期那些无声电影里，导演往往给英雄人物戴上白帽子，而给坏蛋戴黑帽子。这样，连十岁的孩子一看就马上知道谁是好人，谁是坏人。白帽和黑帽就这样逐渐成了一个习惯的说法，也就是 white hats and black hats。White hats and black hats 就代表好人和坏人。黑和白这两个字 black and white 经常在美国的成语和俗语中出现。可是，它们并不一定像好人、坏人那样黑白分明。有时候，黑还具有肯定和积极的意思。例如，对一个做生意的人来说 in the black 就意味着赚钱，而不是亏本。今天，我们要讲两个和 black and white 这两个字有关的成语。首先我们来讲一个和black有关的常用语 a black sheep。Black 当然是指黑颜色，而 sheep 是一头羊的意思。一头黑颜色的羊 a black sheep 指的是一个给他周围的人带来耻辱的人。请听下面这个例子： 例句-1: “Uncle Joe is the black sheep in the family. Instead of getting a job, all he does is drink too much, gamble away any money he gets and chase after women.” 这句话翻成中文就是：“乔叔叔是他们家的败家子。他不是去找个工作，而是成天喝酒，有了一点钱就去赌，还老是玩女人。” 我们再来举一个例子： 例句-2: “We all thought my youngest brother was the black sheep in our family. In fact he was in so much trouble he ran away to Australia. But he started a new life there, married a wonderful girl, and now he's a millionaire.” 这句话的意思是：“我们都认为我最小的弟弟是我们家的败家子。实际上，他闯了好多祸，最后只好逃到澳大利亚去。可是，他在那里重起炉灶，和一个非常好的女孩结了婚，现在都成了百万富翁了。” 下面我们要讲的一个习惯用语是和 white 这个字有关系的，这就是 A white lie。Lie 就是谎话的意思。那末，难道骗人还分黑白吗?是的。A white lie 的意思就是那种为了避免使对方感到难受而说的谎话。比如说，一个女孩子新交的男朋友很难看，但是为了不要使她感到难受，你说了个谎，说你认为他很英俊。回到家，你就对丈夫说： 例句-3: “I told a white lie when I told Jennie her boyfriend was goodlooking. The truth is he's just about the ugliest man I've ever seen.” 她说：“我骗珍妮说，她的男朋友很英俊。其实，他大概是我看到的所有男人当中最难看的了。” 我们再来举一个例子： 例句-4: “My mother and dad taught me never to tell a lie. So I feel guilty every time I tell even a little white lie, although I do it just to make somebody feel better.” 这个人说：“我爸爸妈妈总是教我绝对不能说谎话。因此，每当我说一点谎，即便是为了让某人感到好受一点而说谎的时候，我都好像做错了事一样。” 今天我们讲了两个和黑和白，也就是 black and white 有关的俗语。它们是 a black sheep 和 a white lie。
美国习语:互相倾轧，最终结算
Read this book by Professor Winter -- he's a top gun in Shakespeare research. Sorry, I don't handle divorces myself, but if you really want to divorce your husband, I can give you the name of two of the top guns in New York when it comes to getting a good divorce settlement. I hate to tell you this, but if we don't get more customers the next three months, the bottom line is that we'll go out of business. Our new cook from Sichuan is bringing in a lot more people. And the bottom line is that last month we made a profit of $15,000.
每个人的生活道路几乎都是崎岖不平，有上有下的。当然，一般人都喜欢攀登到社会的高峰，而不愿意沦落到社会的最低层。美国的俗语和成语充份地反应了这种概念。今天我们就来介绍两个跟上和下，也就是top和bottom这两个字有关系的习惯用语。美国的电影院里曾经放映过一部电影，名字叫《Top Gun》《Top Gun》这部电影的情节是讲几个海军的战斗机驾驶员为了争夺最佳驾驶员的地位而互相倾轧。可是，top Gun这个常用词汇在喷气式飞机诞生前很久就已经出现。那还是在美国开拓西部的时候，那些西部神枪手有时为了获得最佳枪手的称号而互相残杀。现在，top gun这个习惯用语已经没有什么火药味了。一位大学教师很可能会用top gun这个词来对学生说： 例句-1: “Read this book by Professor Winter -- he's a top gun in Shakespeare research.” 这位教师说：“大家看一下温特教授写的这本书，他是在莎士比亚研究方面最优秀的学者。” Top Gun这个习惯用语在美国律师当中用得也很多。下面的例子就是一个律师在给他的委托人提供建议： 例句-2: “Sorry, I don't handle divorces myself, but if you really want to divorce your husband, I can give you the name of two of the top guns in New York when it comes to getting a good divorce settlement.” 这位律师说：“对不起,我本人不处理离婚案这种业务。但是，如果你一定要和你丈夫离婚，那我可以把纽约的两个在处理离婚财产方面最好的律师介绍给你。” 上面我们讲的是和top这个字有关的俗语，下面我们要给大家介绍一个由bottom这个字组成的习惯用语：bottom line。Bottom line这个词汇是做生意的人开始用的。每个公司的会计在财政报告上都要把收入和开支加起来，然后得出一个最关键的数字，也就是这个公司究竟盈利多少，或亏损多少。这就是所谓的bottom line。现在，bottom line这个词汇已经成为人们经常用的了，不仅商人，而且连政府官员和其他一般人都用。我们来 举个例子吧。这是一个饭馆老板在说话： 例句-3: “I hate to tell you this, but if we don't get more customers the next three months, the bottom line is that we'll go out of business.” 他说：“我很不愿意告诉你。但是，要是我们在今后三个月里不能招揽更多的顾客的话，归根结蒂的问题是我们必然会倒闭的。” 我们下面要举的例子还是和这个饭馆的经营有联系的。在老板说了以上的话半年后，他们的生意已经兴旺得多了。他对他的合夥人说： 例句-4: “Our new cook from Sichuan is bringing in a lot more people. And the bottom line is that last month we made a profit of fifteen thousand dollars.” 他说:“我们那个从四川来的新厨师吸引了不少顾客。其结果是上个月我们赚了一万五千美元。” 美国人经常问下面这个问题：What's the bottom line? 这就是说，在对一个问题讨论结束后，其结果到底是什么，这也是有关的人所必须了解的内容。 今天我们讲了两个习惯用语，一个是：top gun;另一个是：bottom line。「美国习惯用语」第二十四讲就到里。欢迎下次再一起来学习美国习惯用语。再见。
美国习语:集中精力，开阔眼界
We were playing Chicago there and the crowd was yelling and booing and waving handkerchiefs to distract us. But I kept my eye on the ball, swung as hard as I could and hit a home run. That Chicago crowd sure quieted down as I jogged around the bases. Tom, your sales record is way down the past six months. You've only sold 17 cars all this time. You'd better start keeping your eye on the ball, or you'll find yourself looking for another job. Of course, John and I have had a few problems, just like most married couples. But I always felt we had a good, solid marriage. So it was a terrible eye-opener when I opened the letter he'd left on the kitchen table and found out he'd run off with his old college sweetheart. Seeing those color films the astronauts took off the earth on their flight to the moon was certainly an eye-opener. I never realized how beautiful and how lonely our planet looks hanging there in space.
人们把眼睛称为“灵魂的窗户”、“世界的窗户”以及“心灵的窗户”等等。怪不得eye这么一个只有三个字母组成的字出现在那末多的美国成语和俗语里。 今天我们先来讲to keep one's eye on the ball。To keep one's eye on the ball这个常用语原先是来自球类运动,如网球、高尔夫球、垒球等。你一定要把眼睛看准了才能打到这些球。下面这个垒球运动员说的话就能说明问题： “We were playing Chicago there and the crowd was yelling and booing and waving handkerchiefs to distract us. But I kept my eye on the ball, swung as hard as I could and hit a home run. That Chicago crowd sure quieted down as I jogged around the bases.” 这位垒球手说：“我们那时正在芝加哥和当地一个球队比赛，看球的人群又喊又嚷，还挥动手绢想分散我们的注意力。可是，我集中精力，使出所有的劲儿来打球，结果打了一个本垒打。这下，当我沿着垒跑的时候，芝加哥的观众就变得很安静了。” 可是现在to keep one's eye on the ball已经可以应用到一般的事物上了。让我们来举一个汽车推销员的例子吧。这个人家里有些事不顺心，使他在工作时很分散精力。于是，他的老板就把他叫到办公室去对他说： “Tom, your sales record is way down the past six months. You've only sold 17 cars all this time. You'd better start keeping your eye on the ball, or you'll find yourself looking for another job.” 这位老板说：“汤姆，你的销售量在过去半年中一直很低。你在这段时间里一共才卖了十七辆汽车。你还是集中注意力地工作，不然，你恐怕得另找工作了。” 还有一个由eye这个字组成的、非常有用的习惯用语是eye-opener。Eye-opener是一个字。Eye-opener有两个意思，一个是表示惊奇，就像下面这个女子所表达的情绪： “Of course, John and I have had a few problems, just like most married couples. But I always felt we had a good, solid marriage. So it was a terrible eye-opener when I opened the letter he'd left on the kitchen table and found out he'd run off with his old college sweetheart.” 这个被抛弃的妻子说：“当然，约翰和我是有一些矛盾，就像大多数夫妻一样。但是，我一直认为我们的婚姻是有牢固基础的。所以，当我打开他留在厨房桌上的信，知道他和他以前大学里的女朋友出走了的时候，我真是非常惊奇。” Eye-opener的另一意思是：开阔了眼界。请听下面这个例子： “Seeing those color films the astronauts took off the earth on their flight to the moon was certainly an eye-opener. I never realized how beautiful and how lonely our planet looks hanging there in space.” 这句话的意思是：“看到宇航员在登上月球时拍的那些有关地球的彩色照片真是开了眼界。我从来也不知道我们的地球在空间是这么美丽、这么孤单。” 以上我们讲了两个和eye这个字有关的习惯用语。它们是：to keep one's eye on the ball和 eye-opener。To keep one's eye on the ball是集中精力的意思。Eye-opener可以解释为很惊奇，或开阔眼界。
篇11：美国常用习语
美国习语：hat习惯用语
今天我们要给大家介绍两个和“帽子”，也就是英文里的“hat”这个字有关的习惯用语。二次世界大战以前，美国人一年四季都戴帽子。男人一年之中大多数时间戴毡帽，到了夏天就戴草帽。女士们要是没有一顶时髦的帽子就好像不能出门似的。而现在，大多数美国人一年到头根本就不戴帽子。有些年轻人恐怕一辈子没买过一顶帽子。可是，那些和“hat”这个字有关的俗语却仍然常常出现在人们的讲话中。
首先给大家介绍下面这个俗语：at the drop of a hat。At the drop of a hat的意思是：一有信号可以马上行动。它往往用来形容那些脾气很暴燥的人，例如像下面这个例子中的人：
例句-1: “Tom Atkins is usually a good-hearted, friendly guy. But he has one problem--a hot temper. Say something he doesn't agree with, and he'll start a loud argument at the drop of a hat.”
这个话的意思是：“汤姆?阿特金斯一般来说是一个心地善良，很友好的人。但是，他有一个毛病，那就是脾气太坏。要是你说些什么他不同意的话，他可以马上和你大声争辩。”
At the drop of a hat这个习惯用语不一定要用于争辩或打架的场合。它也可以解释为：在有必要的时候，某人可以立即行动，就像下面这个例子所说的一样：
例句-2: “I have a job that involves a lot of travel on short notice. I always keep one bag packed so I'm ready to go at the drop of a hat when I get a call from the boss asking me to catch the next plane to Chicago.”
这句话是说：“我的工作经常需要在得到通知后马上出门去。所以，我老是有一只箱子，里面放好了出门需要用的东西，这样当我接到我老板的电话让我乘下一班飞机去芝加哥时，我可以立即动身。”
今天我们要讲的第二个俗语是：to talk through one's hat。To talk through one's hat这个俗语的意思就是：说话的人自己根本不懂，所以他的话实际上是胡说八道。这个俗语是出自两百年前的一次总统竞选。在1888年，纽约的一家报纸登了一幅漫画，讽刺当时正在竞选总统的本杰明?哈里森。哈里森经常戴一顶很高的帽子，所以漫画家把他的帽子画得很大，连他的脸都给遮住了。漫画下面的注解说，当哈里森发表竞选演说的时候，他是通过他的帽子向听众说话的，也就是胡说八道 。尽管如此，哈里森还是在那次竞选中当选为美国总统。下面我们就to talk through one's hat来举一个例子：
例句-3: “Anybody who says we can balance the budget without raising taxes is just talking through his hat.”
这是说：“谁要是说我们能够在不提高税收的情况下使预算平衡的话，那真是胡说八道。”
我们再来举个例子吧：
例句-4: “Hey, don't listen to that guy. He's talking through his hat when he tells people that two-headed men from Mars have landed a spaceship near Washington and the government is keeping it secret.”
这个人在对旁人说：“喂，你们别听那家伙的话。他告诉别人说，有些长两个头的人从火星乘一架宇宙飞船来到华盛顿附近，而政府把这件事掩盖起来，不让公众知道。这人简直是在胡说八道。”
以上我们给大家介绍了两个和“hat”这个字有关的俗语。第一个是：at the drop of a hat。这个俗语的意思是，一有信号马上就可以行动。有时它可以指脾气很暴躁的人一触即发，但也可以用于一般情况下。今天我们讲的第二个俗语是：to talk through one's hat。To talk through one's hat是指说话的人对主题根本不懂，是在胡说八道。
belly laugh
美国有一个谚语是这么说的：Laugh-and-the-world-laughs-with-you。Cry-and-you-cry-alone.
按字面来解释，这个谚语的意思是：笑，全世界和你一起笑。哭，你一个人哭。它的含义就是：欢乐的时候，朋友都来了，遇到危险和灾难的时候，你就只能独自承担。这句话虽然有一定的道理，但是并不完全正确，因为愿意和别人共甘苦的人还是有的。不过，大多数人喜欢高兴，喜欢笑，这也是事实。美国人富有幽默感，他们经常说笑话，也非常喜欢类似相声那样的文艺节目。这种节目电视上每天都有。美国人把说笑话的文艺演员叫做：comedian。
实际上，美国的comedian和中国的相声演员很相似。 不过美国那些说笑话的演员一般是一个人站在台上说。电视上那些固定节目的主持人往往会每天邀请几个有名望的人来参加他的节目。在他们很轻松地坐在那里谈话的过程中，他们就不断讲一些笑话。这样，观众既看到了有名望的演员，歌唱家，政界人物等，同时又听到了笑话。 今天我们就要给大家介绍一个和笑有关的俗语。笑有各种各样的笑法，最痛快的笑可能就是：belly laugh。
Belly 就是肚子，因此belly laugh就是捧腹大笑。这可能是相声演员最喜欢听到的笑声。现在我们给大家举一个belly laugh的例子。这是一个观众在说话：
“Say, did you hear Johnny Carson last night? It's hard to be funny five nights a week, but last night was one of his best shows in a long time. He got some great belly laughs trading jokes with his guest star, Bob Hope.”
这个人说：“喂，你昨晚看了Johnny Carson的节目没有?要做到一星期五天都很滑稽是不容易的。但是，昨晚的节目是他很久以来的一次。他和他请来的演员Bob Hope一起讲笑话，好几次引得大家捧腹大笑。”
美国每年都生产很多新的电影。但是，许多在几十年前拍的老电影至今还是很受人欢迎。其中包括不少闹剧和喜剧。下面这个例句就提供了一个例子。
“Fifty years ago, there were three clowns who made a lot of short movies. They are all dead now, but their comedies live on television because they are so full of belly laughs.”
这句话的意思是：“五十年前，美国有三个小丑，他们拍了好多短小的电影。现在，这三个小丑都已经去世了，但是他们的喜剧电影仍然在电视上播放，因为这些喜剧里有好多地方让人感到非常好笑。”
bellyn.肚, 腹; 腹部; 胃例：The belly has no ears.[谚]饥汉无耳; 饥不纳言; 衣食足而后知礼仪。
英语习语not all there
我们经常会发现有的人似乎脑子不太正常。也许是因为现代生活过于紧张，美国是有不少精神不正常的人。今天我们要给大家讲解的就是和这样的人有关：not all there。
Not all there是美国人普遍用的一个习惯用语，它的意思是：某个人的行为表现很奇怪，或者是很傻。我们来给大家举个例子吧。这是一个学生在和同学议论他们班上新来的一个学生：
“This new kid looks like he is not all there. All he does is sit and stare out the window as if the only thing he sees is blank space.”
这个学生说：“这个新来的孩子看起来好像不太正常。他除了向窗外盯着看之外什么也不干，好像他眼睛里看到的只是一片空白。”
在美国，你走在马路上会看到一些无家可归的人，他们当中就有一些精神病患者。可是，在八十年代前人们很少在马路上看到这些人，因为当时的美国政府为精神病患者设立了不少机构来照料他们。为他们提供治疗。然而，在里根总统当政期间，美国政府大量减少了这方面的拨款，这样一来，许多为精神病患者设立的机构只能关闭。有些病情比较轻的病人离开这些机构以后能够独立生活;但是，一些病情比较严重而又没有家人或其他机构照顾的病人也就只能流落街头。由于他们精神有病，因此也不可能找到工作，即使找到了，也不可能维持下去。所以他们就成了无家可归的人。他们一般来说是不会伤害别人，但是有时他们也会骚扰行人，比如伸手问人要钱，或对人大声嚷嚷等。同时在犯罪的人当中也确实有一些精神不正常的人。因此有不少美国人认为凡是精神不正常的人都应该根据他们的情况住在为精神病患者设立的各种不同设施里，由专门的管理人员照顾他们，给他们治疗，到确定他们能够正常生活以后才回到社会中来。但是，现在还做不到。根据新闻报导，由于近几年美国经济衰退，美国人的施舍精神也不如以前了。因此，无家可归的人可能比以往更为艰苦。
大家都知道，美国的犯罪率是很高的，犯罪的方式也无所不有。下面这个例子里说的事就很出奇。这是一个人在和朋友谈论报上的一篇报导。他说:
“Did you read about that crazy guy who stole a police car to take his girlfriend to see a movie? The cop caught him in ten minutes -- it seems to me the guy was not all there.”
这人问他的朋友：“报上有一篇文章说一个疯疯颠颠的人偷了警察的车，带他女朋友去看电影，你看到了没有?。警察只花了十分钟就把他抓到了。我看那个人不太正常。”
美国确实经常发生偷车事件，最近还出现用暴力抢车的事，但是偷警车的倒还不多。看来，那个人不是胆大包天，就是不太正常了。

英语习语:baby boomers
在第二次世界大战期间，美国一共有一千三百万人参军服役。他们当中有许多人由于战争而没有时间完成自己的婚姻大事。因此在1945年战争结束后，他们就纷纷开始组织家庭，生儿育女。在这方面，他们也确实是紧追直赶，成绩辉煌。在1946年到1964年这将近二十年的时间里，美国的人口急剧增加，新生婴儿的人数一共有七千八百万人。美国人为这一代人起了一个名字： baby boomers。
大家都知道，baby是指小孩。Boomer是来自boom这个字。Boom有的时候可以解释成：大声的爆炸。但是在这里，它的意思是:：飞速的发展。这也就是美国当时人口增长的情况。在46年到64年之间出生的人， 被称为baby boomers。 他们当中不少人在事业方面已经有了成就。美国前总统克林顿就是一个突出的例子。请听下面这个例句：
“President Bill Clinton's election in 1992 was a transfer of power from the old generation to the new generation -- he's the first baby boomer to be elected to the White House.”
这句话的意思是：“克林顿总统1992年竞选获胜象征着美国政权从老一代转移到新一代。克林顿是战后人口飞速增长期间出生的那一代人当中第一个当选为总统的。”
当选为总统毕竟是极少数人的事。那末，其他baby boomers的情况又是如何呢? 我们今天要讲的第二个俗语就和这个问题有关。
刚才我们提到，美国人口在二次大战后的将近二十年时间内快速增长。可是自那时以来，美国人口的增长率一直在下降。美国人口普查局每十年统计人口一次。从1950年到1960年，美国人口比前十年增长了18.5%。然后从六十年代开始就一直往下降。在1980年代，美国人口比70年代只增长了百分之9.8%。下面这个例句就告诉我们美国人口下降的原因：
“Population growth has slowed down in the United States since the baby boomers became adults. They're simply not having as many children as their parents did.”
这句话的意思是：“自从战后人口剧增期间出生的人长大成人以后，美国的人口增长率已经开始下降。因为他们不像他们的父母那样生很多孩子。”
boomn.繁荣, 隆隆声v.发隆隆声, 兴隆, 大事宣传Market sales begin to boom. 市场销售开始转旺。
美国习语：剩饭打包带走
Doggy这是字是dog,也就是“狗”这个字的形容词。Bag大家都知道是“口袋”的意思。Doggy bag连在一起是指饭馆里把客人吃剩的菜放在盒子里，然后把它们都放在一个纸口袋里让客人带回家的那种口袋。那么，这和狗又有什么关系呢? Doggy bag这个说法的出现有它特殊的背景。以前美国人也不好意思把在饭馆吃剩的菜带回家，怕有失面子。所以有的人就会对服务员说：
例句-1：“Waiter, could you please wrap up the rest of this steak for me ? I'd like to take it home for my dog.”
这个人对服务员说：“请你把这块牛排包起来，我想带回家给我的狗吃。”
尽管带回家的东西是给人吃的，但是doggy bag这个名称也就成了日常用语了。现在，情况就不同了。在美国，把在饭馆里吃剩的东西带回家已经是习以为常的事了。饭馆还都备有这些让客人装剩菜的盒子。也没有人会因为要把剩菜带回家而感到不好意思。在美国首都华盛顿，许多中国饭馆的服务员往往不等客人说话就把剩菜给装在doggy bag里了。下面我们来举个例子:
例句-2：“We had so much food left over from dinner at the China garden last night that we took enough home in doggy bags to feed the whole family tonight.”
她说：“昨晚我们在汉宫吃饭剩下了好多菜。我们带回家的剩菜就足够我们全家今天晚上再吃一顿的。”
尽管美国人现在对身体里的胆固醇是否太高很敏感，但是他们到饭馆吃早饭时还是经常要点荷包蛋。可是，荷包蛋的做法各有不同。有的要蛋黄老一点，有的要嫩一点。有的只要煎一面，有的要两面都煎一煎。在英语里，这些都有不同的说法。要是你喜欢吃只煎一面的荷包蛋，那你就应该对服务员说：你要你的鸡蛋： Sunny side up.
Sunny side的意思是太阳的那一面，sunny side up也就是蛋黄向上的意思。要是放在整个句子里的话就是：
例句-3：“I would like to have my eggs sunny side up.”
要是你愿意要荷包蛋两面都煎一下的，那你就说你要：Over easy.也就是把鸡蛋反过来也煎一下的意思。比如说，有两个人在饭馆里吃早饭，各人要的荷包蛋不一样：
例句-4：M: “Miss, I'd like two fried eggs sunny side up and the sausage on the side.”
F: “Not me. I don't like to see my eggs staring up at me with big yellow eyes. Miss, two fried eggs, over easy and not fried too hard.”
那位先生说：“小姐，我要两个荷包蛋，只要煎一面。另外再加一点香肠。”
而那位女顾客说：“我可不要，我不喜欢两个大蛋黄像眼睛那样瞪着我。小姐，我要鸡蛋两面都煎一下，但不要太老。”
今天我们一共讲了三个有关吃东西的习惯用语:
第一个是doggy bag。 doggy bag是指人们把在饭馆里吃剩下来的饭菜装在里面带回家的口袋。第二个是sunny side up。Sunny side up是要荷包蛋只煎一面。今天讲的第三个习惯用语over easy。Over easy的意思是荷包蛋两面都煎一下。

(二)热身(Warming up)
这部分的重点是通过一组图片，熟悉、学习一些职业的名称。
活动步骤：
1．大脑风暴(Brainstorm)：让学生尽可能多地说出职业名称单词，教师根据学生回答写出(也可以让学生自己写出)有关单词；
2．小组活动：学生通过小组合作，完成课本中的练习。
(三)听力(Listening)
学生依据个人实际选择适合自己的工作，受益终身。在做听力之前，结合热身部分的讨论，可提问：
●How can you select／choose the career that’s right
/ best for you?
● What aids do you need to make a career decision?
● What do you think a careers adviser does?
然后，让学生听第一部分内容，完成练习三；听第二部分内容，完成练习四；听第三部分内容，完成练习五。听之前，让学生先阅读题目，熟悉题目要求，这样，学生听的时候会更有针对性。
(四)口语(Speaking)
本部分重点是谈论爱好与厌恶，愿望与期待，建议四人一组分三步骤讨论三个练习，最后向全班表述想法。

3．班级活动：根据组内讨论的结果，派代表表述。
(五)读前(Pre-reading)和阅读(Reading)
本单元读前与阅读部分相互渗透，可形成一个整体设计。
1．解读文章标题。本单元阅读课的标题是 FOOTBALL：A GOOD CAREER CHOICE? 学生不难理解其字面上的意思，但不一定理解其深层意思。为此，教师从解读标题着手，引入本单元的话题。教师可将标题写在黑板上，然后问几个启发学生思维的问题。如：
Do you like sports? Which sport do you like most?
Do you think it will be a good career choice for you? Why or why not?
What kind of job would you like to do for life?
2．略读课文，了解大意。教师可以先让学生在预习的基础上，说说自己对课文的理解：分析文章结构、归纳文章段落大意、找出主题句及文章主题。
3．文章的深层理解。完成读前的两个问题。
(六)读后(Post-reading)
这部分的练习分为三部分，教师逐步提出任务：
1．第一个练习要求学生在熟悉课文的前提下，完成课文细节内容的填空。
2．第二个和第三个练习是文章内容的深层理解，教师可指导学生以小组为单位，共同探究，相互交流，合作完成。
(七)语言实践(Language practice)
依据本单元语言实践部分的练习设置，建议教师分为三个步骤完成：
1．短文改错着重考查学生的语言知识结构、词语、语法等综合语言技能，结合短文改错文章，以小组为单位完成练习二关于远程办公优缺点的讨论。
2．词汇学习部分主要考查学生对描述人物特点词汇的掌握情况。建议教师鼓励学生通过查阅工具书等多种途径，以小组为单位完成，给学生创造一个“自学、自傲、自悟、自助”的机会。
3．结合三则招聘广告，完成模拟招聘任务。(具体内容参见任务一)
(八)综合技能(Integrating skills)
该部分教学要注意以下几个方面：

个人简历的规范性上，这一部分与写作直接相关。
