365天交际口语详解〔10〕：害怕Part3--360°文化洗礼
胆小如“鸡〞与“chicken out〞
美国俚语中，“chicken〞可用来表示“胆小的〞，常用的一个和“chicken〞有关的习语是：chicken out。
“c hicken out〞的意思是：原来计划好做一件事，但是到最后一刻却害怕了，感到完成不了，于是便中途停止或放弃，也可以说是临阵退缩。
这种事情几乎每个人都在不同情况下经历过…
Today I was sure I could work up my courage and dive off the ten meter board at the pool. I walked right out to the edge, but then I chickened out—it looked like a long way down to the water!
我原来以为今天我肯定会鼓足了勇气从游泳池那个十米高的跳台上跳下去。
可是，当我走到跳台边缘的时候却退缩。
从跳台到水面的距离看起来好远啊！
下面再来看一个例子：
My friend Joe was planning to get married for the fourth time. But at the last moment he chickened out because his first three marriages ended in divorce and he was afraid to take another chance.
我的朋友乔原来准备要第四次结婚。
可是，到了最后一刻他胆怯了，因为他结过三次婚，最后结局都是离婚，所以他怕这次又会不成功。

365天交际口语详解(5)：犹豫Part3--360°文化洗礼-精选教学文档
吹“热汤”还是吹“冷手”
《伊索寓言》中有这样一则故事：一位旅行者受到森林之神萨泰尔（Satyr）的款待。
因为天气寒冷，这位旅行者呵着气暖手；森林之神请他喝肉汤，但他却左右为难，因为他不知道是要用嘴巴喝汤还是吹气暖手。
因此，他一会儿吹吹（blow）热（hot）汤，一会儿又吹吹冷冰冰的（cold）手。
这样一来，他两者都没顾得上，汤凉了，手还是冰的，汤自然也没喝成，还惹得森林之神勃然大怒，把他赶出大门。
英语中短语“blow hot and cold““游移不定、踌躇不决”就是源自于这则故事。
请看下面的例句：
Helen blow hot and cold about her job; every day she changed her mind.
海伦对于工作的事情拿不定主意，她今天想这样，明天又想那样。

寻找中国人错误英语的根源
英国语言学家艾利斯认为母语干扰是导致第二语言学习者出现错误的主要原因。
母语干扰主要表现为负向迁移，即学习者在一种语境中学会的知识会干扰在另一种语境中的学习。
中国学生学英语也是如此。
英汉两种语言的文化背景、表达习惯、句型结构以及词汇的运用等方面各不相同，所以中国的英语学习者因受汉语的影响，经常会说出一些“中国式英语”。
[担心与忧虑Part3--360°文化洗礼]
“worry”的由来
The dog is worrying the rat.
如果你看到这句英文，并尝试着将它翻译成中文：“那条狗正在烦那只老鼠”时，恐怕就要贻笑大方了。
这句话正确的翻译应该是：那条狗正在撕咬那只老鼠。
你可能会一头雾水，“worry”是烦扰的意思，怎么会和“撕咬”（tear up）联系起来了呢？
事实上，“worry”一词来源于古英语“wyrgan”，有“扼杀”之意，上面这句话中的“worry”即取此意，是指动物“撕咬”它的猎物。
后来“wyrgan”又渐渐发展成中世纪英语的“ worien”，意思也演变为“strangle（抑制，束缚）”。
随着历史的变迁，“worry”这个词“攻击性”的意味大大削弱了。
在中世纪英语中的“worien”保留了其前身“wyrgan扼杀”的意思，并衍生出一个新意思“用牙齿咬住喉咙并且撕裂”或“咬住并来回甩动以杀死或伤害”。
到16世纪，“worry”开始含有“以粗暴手段或袭击方式来骚扰”、“口头攻击”的意思。
到了17世纪，这个词产生了“干扰、使焦虑和烦扰”的意思。
19世纪时，这个词义又向前发展了一点，也就是我们现在经常见到的“使感到焦虑或痛苦”和“感到烦恼或不安”。
