英语趣味小知识(最新整理)

英语趣味小知识(最新整理)

英语趣味小知识(2)——你会犯这样的错误吗?你会犯这样的错误吗?英语有时候真是莫名其妙,你觉得你明明懂了,可实际上你又没有懂。

所以,今天我想讲几件轶事,都是因为没有理解听到看到的东西而闹出的笑话。

也许,从他们的经验中,你也可以学到一些东西。

第一个故事发生在秘鲁,一位美国妇女在餐馆里用餐。

她问服务员:Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands?服务员把她带到洗手间,可不巧,正有一些工人在粉刷洗手间的墙壁。

工人们一看有人要用洗手间,就准备离开。

服务员拦住他们,说:That’s Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands.在英语里,wash my hands实际上是上厕所的委婉说法。

那个服务员按照字面意思理解,结果闹了笑话。

还有一次,一个留学生在国外的学校第一天上学,心里又兴奋又紧张。

一个美国人见到一张新面孔,为了表示友好,就问:Hi! What’s the good word?留学生一听到这个,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!他犹豫再三,想,反正我也不知道,就问问他好了。

于是他吞吞吐吐地问:Hello. What’s the good word?老美听了,很随意地说:Oh, not much.这下,这个留学生就更吃惊了!原来,What’s the good word? 在美语里,是一句问候语,意思是“你还好吗?”但问话的人并不指望你把遇到的高兴的事情都一一告诉他,只是打个招呼而已。

但这个留学生以为对方真的在问什么是Good word,所以闹了笑话,不过还好,也算给他歪打正着了。

下面的故事就更有意思了。

一次,一个美国公司的管理人员给公司一个驻外分部发了一份传真,要求对方把职员的人数报上来。

有趣的小知识英语作文

有趣的小知识英语作文英文:As a language enthusiast, I always find it fascinating to learn interesting little facts about the English language. One fun fact that I recently came across is that the word "set" has the highest number of different meanings in the English language. It has over 430 different meanings listed in the Oxford English Dictionary. This fact blew my mind because I had never realized that a single word could have so many diverse meanings.Another interesting fact is that the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the English alphabet. This is called a pangram, and it's often used to display typefaces and test typewriters and computer keyboards. I found this fact to be quite amusing and clever, as it demonstrates the versatility and completeness of the English language.中文:作为一个语言爱好者,我总是发现学习英语语言的有趣小知识非常迷人。

中世纪的时候,武士闯荡江湖赢得美人芳心这类的故事多数是用罗曼斯语写的,其中法文用的最多。
所以,这一类故事就叫作romances。法国人的浪漫世界闻名,大概也与此有关吧。
此刻,romance除了常常用来指那些像美梦一样远离现实的感情小说之外,还能够用来指风流韵事或浪漫的气氛。
例如:She thought it was going to be the big romance of her life, but he left her after only a few weeks。
的多哦! Franks:在美国的街头,你经常会碰到一些Street vendors(街头小贩)高嚷着Franks,这时候你可千万别以为他们在寻找名叫Frank的人,Franks在那里是热狗的意思。这些小贩就正在Selling Hot dogs(卖热狗)。

有趣的小知识英语作文Title: Fascinating Nuggets of Knowledge。

In our ever-expanding universe of information, it's often the little tidbits of knowledge that pique our curiosity and leave us pondering the wonders of the world. From the depths of the ocean to the expanse of outer space, from the intricacies of the human body to the mysteries of history, there's an endless array of fascinating facts waiting to be discovered. Let's delve into some of these intriguing nuggets of knowledge.Did you know that the shortest war in history lasted only 38 minutes? It occurred between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896. Zanzibar surrendered shortly after the conflict began, making it one of the most concise wars on record.Moving from history to the realm of biology, did you know that the blue whale, the largest animal on Earth, hasa heart the size of a small car? This incredible organ can weigh as much as 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms) and beatsjust a few times per minute. It's a testament to the remarkable adaptations of marine life.Shifting gears to astronomy, consider this: there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth. With an estimated 100 billion galaxies, each containing billions of stars, the sheer scale of the cosmos is staggering and humbling.Closer to home, have you ever marveled at thecomplexity of the human brain? It's composed of over 86 billion neurons, each connected to thousands of other neurons, forming a vast network of electrical impulses that govern our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Despite decades of research, there's still much we don't fully understand about this remarkable organ.On a lighter note, did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists have discovered pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and stillperfectly edible. This is due to its low moisture content and acidic pH, which create an inhospitable environment for bacteria and other microorganisms.Speaking of ancient civilizations, consider the mystery of the Nazca Lines in Peru. These enormous geoglyphs,etched into the desert floor over 2,000 years ago, depict various animals, plants, and geometric shapes. Theirpurpose remains a subject of debate among archaeologistsand historians, adding an air of intrigue to theseenigmatic symbols.In the realm of physics, consider the phenomenon oftime dilation. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time appears to pass more slowly for objects in motion relative to those at rest. This has practical implications for space travel, as astronauts traveling at high speeds experience time differently than those on Earth.Finally, let's explore the world of linguistics. Didyou know that the word "serendipity" was coined by the English writer Horace Walpole in 1754? He derived it fromthe Persian fairy tale "The Three Princes of Serendip," in which the protagonists make unexpected discoveries by chance. Today, "serendipity" refers to the occurrence of fortunate events by accident.In conclusion, the world is full of fascinating nuggets of knowledge waiting to be uncovered. Whether it's a brief moment in history, a marvel of nature, or a quirk of science, each tidbit adds to the richness of our understanding and reminds us of the boundless wonders that surround us. So, keep exploring, keep learning, and never cease to be amazed by the incredible world we inhabit.。

英语有趣的科普小知识作文

英语有趣的科普小知识作文

As a high school student with a keen interest in science, Ive always found the English language to be a fascinating tool for learning about the world around us. One of the most intriguing aspects of English for me is how it can be used to convey scientific concepts in a way that is both informative and engaging. Here, Id like to share some interesting scientific tidbits that Ive come across in my studies, all presented in the captivating medium of the English language.Firstly, did you know that the word avatar has its roots in Sanskrit, meaning descent? Its quite fascinating how this term has evolved to represent the digital representations of ourselves in the virtual world. This word journey from ancient India to the digital age is a testament to the dynamic nature of language and its ability to adapt to new concepts.Moving on to the world of physics, the term quantum leap is often used in English to describe a significant change that happens quickly and unexpectedly. In the realm of quantum mechanics, it refers to the discrete changes in energy levels that particles can undergo. Its amazing to think that such a complex scientific phenomenon can be encapsulated in a phrase that is so commonly used in everyday English.Another intriguing linguisticscientific crossover is the word virus. In Latin, virus means poison or slimy liquid, which is quite a vivid description of what a virus isa tiny infectious agent that can cause disease. The English language has preserved this vivid imagery, helping us to understand and visualize the concept more effectively.In the field of astronomy, the word nebula is derived from the Latin word for cloud or mist. This is a perfect description for the vast, hazy interstellar clouds of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases where stars are born. The English language, with its roots in Latin and Greek, provides a rich vocabulary for describing the cosmos.Lets not forget about the fascinating world of biology, where the term dinosaur comes from the Greek words deinos meaning terrible and sauros meaning lizard. This combination paints a vivid picture of the aweinspiring creatures that once roamed our planet, and its incredible how the English language can transport us back to the age of these magnificent beasts.Furthermore, the English language has also been instrumental in popularizing scientific discoveries. For instance, the term DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life. The simplicity of the abbreviation has helped make the concept more accessible to the general public, sparking curiosity and interest in genetics.In the environmental sciences, the term greenhouse effect is a perfect example of how English can simplify complex ideas. It refers to the process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is reradiated in all directions. The use of the word greenhouse helps us to visualize this process as something familiar and understandable.Lastly, the concept of plate tectonics is another example of how English can make scientific ideas more tangible. The term describes the largescalemovement of seven large plates and the movements of the Earths lithosphere, which cause earthquakes and volcanic activity. The word plate is a simple yet effective way to describe these massive slabs of solid rock.In conclusion, the English language is not only a means of communication but also a powerful tool for understanding and explaining the world of science. From the microscopic to the cosmic, from ancient languages to modern discoveries, English has the ability to convey complex scientific concepts in a way that is both accessible and engaging. As a high school student, I find this interplay between language and science to be endlessly fascinating and a constant source of inspiration for my own learning journey.。

《英语小知识》英语小知识(1):英语的起源英语的起源要追溯到公元5世纪的古英语,它是其最早的雏形。

一向到15世纪才有了标点符号。

我们仍然在使用的城镇(town),是延续至今的最古老的古英语单词。

英语小知识(2):同一个单词,不一样的意思你可能明白电臀舞(twerk)这个单词是指一种很流行的摇摆舞蹈。

但在16世纪时,twirk(当时中间字母的拼写为i而不是e)是指急促扭转的一种动作。

提到电臀舞,有一些与之相关的现代词汇和俚语,你就应有所了解。

英语小知识(3):字典里的新词每两个小时就会有一个新词被收入字典之中。

其中包括nerdjacking(用很详细的解释来引导谈话)、undorse (扭转政策局面)和Mx(代替先生(Mr。

)或女士(Ms。

)的一种中性称谓)。

英语小知识(4):OK的来历Okay可能是除了Yes,No以外在世界上流传最广的英语单词了。

但是,它从何而来呢?历来,语言学家们各执一词。

有人说,okay是印第安人发明的。

有这样一个印第安部落叫Chocktaw,居住在富饶的密西西比山谷中,以种植和捕鱼为生。

每当有问题发生,Chocktaw的领导人们就和部落首领围坐一圈,共同商议,如果有人同意其他人的意见,就点头示意,然后说Okeh,意思为就是这样。

欧洲人初到美洲时,听到了超多的印第安语,并将之发展为英语词汇。

此刻美国的许多城市、河流、山脉,其名称都源于印第安语。

另外还有一种颇具可信度的说法:Okay这个词是在19世纪由一个政治团体发明的。

有一个人叫Martin Van Buren,准备参加总统竞选,他的拥护者成立了一个俱乐部为他做宣传,俱乐部的名称就叫Okay Club,据说O和K两个字母取自于Van Buren的故乡,纽约州的Old Kinderhook,那是他出生的地方。

对一个如此popular的词汇,自然每个人都可能有自我的故事,但是,有一点,相信全世界都会同意:okay 是一个纯粹的美语词汇,它是词汇跨越不一样语言的优秀典范。

conform等等词汇来代替,使之更为正式化。

英语小知识(5):你还是我?我们一向在使用你和我这两个单词,但你认为这两个词哪个更常用?你会惊讶地发现,英文中的你在最常用的词表中只排第18名;而我更是排到了第50名。

那么最常用的英文单词究竟是哪一个?答案是定冠词the。

英语小知识(6):S。

O。

S可能大家都明白S。

O。

S。

是一种求救信号,并由此联想到了历史上最大的杯具性海难泰坦尼克沉船事件,在为那些屈死的灵魂深感惋惜的同时,也在心里埋怨当时没有能够及时发出海难求救信号,其他船只和海上救援组织没有及时施救。

很多人都为S。

O。

S。

是由一些单词的首字母缩写而成,如Save Our Souls(拯救我们的生命!),Save Our Ship(拯救我们的船只!),Stop Other Signals(停止发送任何其他信号!),Sure Of Sinking(船就要沉了!)等等。

真是这样的吗?其实,S。

O。

S。

是国际莫尔斯电码救难信号,并非任何单词的缩写。

鉴于当时海难事件频繁发生,往往由于不能及时发出求救信号和最快组织施救,结果造成很大的人员伤亡和财产损失,国际无线电报公约组织于1908年正式将它确定为国际通用海难求救信号。

这三个字母组合没有任何实际好处,只是因为它的电码 --- (三个圆点,三个破折号,然后再加三个圆点)在电报中是发报方最容易发出,接报方最容易辨识的电码。

1908年之前,国际公海海难求救信号为C。

Q。

D。

这三个字母也没有任何实际好处,尽管很多人认为它是Come Quickly,Danger。

(快来,危险!)的首字母缩写。

虽然1908年国际无线电报公约组织已经明确规定应用S。

O。

S。

作为海难求救信号,但C。

Q。

D。

仍然有人使用。

泰坦尼克海难发生初期,其他船只和救助组织之所以没有能够及时组织施救,主要是因为他们不明白船上发报员开始发出的过时的C。

Q。

D。

求救信号。

直到整个船只都快没入大海才发出了S。

O。

S。

求救信号,但到了此时谁可能还有如此的回天之力,拯救那些无辜的即将永远葬身海底的灵魂呢?英语小知识(7):英语还是空中用语你就应明白有许多国家都在使用英语(它是67个国家的官方语言),但你明白它也是门空中用语吗?是的,飞机上所有的飞行员,无论他们来自哪个国家,都需要用英语来介绍自我。

另外,学习英语还能够提高就业潜力,比如旅游行业或是跨国公司。

英语小知识(8):Romance说起romance,你必须会浮想联翩,这是一个年轻男女们都很喜欢的字眼,你明白这个字是怎样来的吗?说起来romance和罗马(Rome)有关。

古罗马人用的是拉丁文,之后拉丁文渐渐消失,演变为意大利语、法语、西班牙语、葡萄牙语、罗马尼亚语等,这些语言总称为Romance languages(罗曼斯语)。

中世纪的时候,武士闯荡江湖赢得美人芳心这类的故事多数是用罗曼斯语写的,其中法文用的最多。

所以,这一类故事就叫作romances。

法国人的浪漫世界闻名,大概也与此有关吧。

此刻,romance除了常常用来指那些像美梦一样远离现实的感情小说之外,还能够用来指风流韵事或浪漫的气氛。

例如:She thought it was going to be the big romance of her life, but he left her after only a few weeks。

她以为这将成为她生命中刻骨铭心的风流韵事,不料才过了没几个星期就被他遗弃了。

the romance of life in the Wild West 西部蛮荒生活中的浪漫色彩。

英语小知识(9):英语小知识:一周七天的典故在中国,一周七天,我们分别称之为星期一、星期二或者周一、周二是以数字来表示的。

而在英语里,七天各有其名。

这是盎格鲁萨克森人为纪念他们崇拜的神而命名的。

盎格鲁萨克森人公元五世纪,原居北欧的日耳曼部落入侵不列颠,他们当中包括盎格鲁人(Angles)、萨克森人(Saxons),朱特人(Jutes)。

而盎格鲁人定居的地方就是此刻的英格兰。

除了星期六(Saturday)来源于罗马的萨图恩神(saturn)以外,其余六天的名字都来源于北方诸神。

星期日:Sunday,the day of the Sun,太阳日。

对基督徒而言,星期日是安息日,因为耶稣复活的日子是在星期日。

约在西元三百年左右,欧洲教会和政府当局开始明订星期日为休息的日子,直到今日,世界上大多数的国家都以Sunday为星期例假日。

星期一:Monday,the day of the Moon,从Moonday发展至此刻的Monday,月亮日。

星期二:Tuesday,源于Tiwesday,战神日。

Tiw是北欧神话里的战神,正如同罗马神话里的战神Mars一样。

在北欧神话中不叫Tiw而叫Tyr。

相传在他的那个时代,有一狼精经常出来扰乱世界,为了制服狼精,Tyr的一只手也被咬断了。

星期三:Wednesday,源于Wodens day,Woden是风暴之神,风神日。

Woden是北欧诸神之父。

为制服狼精而牺牲自我一只手的Tyr,就是他的儿子。

Woden领导神族跟巨人族作战,他曾牺牲自我锐利的右眼,跟巨人族换取智慧的甘泉。

他也曾深入地层,从巨人族那里偷取诗的美酒。

西方人为了追念这位主神,就根据他的名字创造了Wednesday这个字。

星期四:Thursday,是为了纪念雷神(Thor)而命名的。

故星期四又称为雷神日。

红头发的雷神索尔(星期四的来源)是主神奥丁的儿子,他戴着一副特殊的绶带和手套,具有超人的力量,能够把岩石击碎。

相传有一次,他的大铁被一位叫Thrym的巨人偷走了。

Thrym扬言,除非神族答应把美丽的爱神Freya嫁给他做为交换。

然而Freya抵死不从,於是神族想了一个办法,由Thor男扮女装穿Freya的衣服,假装嫁给他,Thrym 不疑有诈,把铁交给新娘。

于是Thor抢回了自我的武器,也立即把Thrym给杀了。

星期五:Friday,在古英文中Friday意思是Friggs day。

Frigg是北欧神话中主司婚姻和生育的女神,也是Woden的妻子。

相传她平日身披闪耀白长袍,住在水晶宫中,和侍女们一齐编织五颜六色的彩云。

对於北欧人而言,星期五是幸运的日子。

然而对基督徒来说却是相反的,因为耶稣受难日正好是星期五。

星期六:Saturday,the day of Saturn,Sat。

urn农神。

英语小知识(10):John Bull在政治漫画里,代表美国的总是又高又瘦的Uncle Sam(山姆大叔);代表英国的呢,则是面色红润的、胖胖的John Bull(约翰牛)。

John Bull这个名字是怎样来的呢?英国人和狗的关系十分密切,个性是斗牛犬 (bulldog),所以,十八世纪初,作家兼御医Dr。

Arbuthnot写了一本《约翰牛传》(The History of John Bull),主张英、法和平相处,书中主角的名字就叫作JohnBull,作者用他来代表英国。

从此以后,John Bull成了英国和典型英国人的代名词。

例如:His ruddy countenance and stout figure made him look a genuine John Bull。

他面色红润,身材胖硕,看起来就是个典型的英国人。

英语小知识(11):英语的趣味小知识:食The Big Apple:来到美国,说到吃,肯定很多人的第一个反应是The Big Apple,但是千万别误会,这但是你吃不了的苹果,它其实是纽约市的昵称。

如果你旅游的目的地是The Big Apple,那我们可要说Congratulations(恭喜)了,那但是个美食之都。

Hero:首先,你该到饭店去点一份hero。

别担心,服务生不会当你是吃英雄的疯子。

Hero是纽约人管大个儿意大利潜水艇三明治的叫法。

当然,如果你一下子吃了十个Heroes,可能别人就会说话了:Look at that strange gal!Shes really out in left field!那里,out in left field 专门用来形容那些古怪或者是莫名其妙的人。

Surf nTurf:当然,美食并不只是在纽约才有,如果你有兴趣,不妨到天使之城洛杉矶逛一圈,Surf nTurf就是一种在洛杉矶十分普及的美食,其中主食是海鲜及牛排,可能会比较贵,但还有很多叫dives的便宜餐厅,你能够以合理的价格买到这种美食。

Taco Stand:Taco Stand是另一种在洛杉矶及附近的加州城市都很常见的美食,tacos来自于拉丁美洲,但在美国加州也十分的流行。

stand是一种街边小摊,你能够在那儿买到一些速食。
