趣味动物英语小知识第一回动物篇a)Ten animals I slam in a net.我把十只动物一网打尽你注意到这句话有什么特别之处吗?对了,无论从左到右,还是从右到左,字母排列顺序都是一样的,英语把这叫做Palindromes 回文(指顺读和倒读都一样的词语),关于动物的回文还有以下的例子Otto saw pup ; pup was Otto. (奥托看见了小狗,小狗的名字叫奥托)Was it a car or a cat I saw ?Was it a rat I saw ? (我刚才看见的是条老鼠?)b)the bee's knees用来形容最好的至高无上的东西。

[例] She is a very poor singer but she thinks she's the bee's knees. (她五音不全却自认为是高高在上的一流歌手。

)该表现起源于20年代的美国,仅仅因为bee's 和 knees押韵,琅琅上口,迅速得到流传,直到现在,还在日常生活非正式场合的对话中经常使用。

c)Santa Claus' reindeer(圣诞老人的驯鹿)你知道圣诞老人的驯鹿是怎么来的吗?它们是Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863 美国作家)所写的‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’1823作品里出现的Dasher、Dancer、Prancer、Vixen、Comet、Cupid、Donner、Blitzen等8头d)the world is my oyster (世界是我的牡蛎)if the world is my oyster 经常作为“如果我的梦想得以实现的话”的意思使用。

该句来源于莎士比亚的The Merry Wives of Windsor(1600)Ⅱ、ⅱ、2中,恶棍Pistol对决意不肯借钱的Sir John Falstaff说、“Why then the world's mine oyster, / Which I with sword will open.”(这个世界如同我的牡蛎一样,我可以用刀子把它撬开。

有趣的英语回文Ten animals I slam in a net.(我把十只动物一网打尽)你注意到这句话有什么特别之处吗?对了,无论从左到右,还是从右到左,字母排列顺序都是一样的,英语把这叫做Palindromes 回文,关于动物的回文还有以下的例子。

Otto saw pup, pup was Otto. (奥托看见了小狗,小狗的名字叫奥托)Was it a car or a cat I saw?Was it a rat I saw? (我刚才看见的是只老鼠?)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,我想讲几件轶事,都是因为没有理解听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。

①这个故事发生在秘鲁,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,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. She on ly 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。

②一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?”美国人听了,很随意地说:“Oh, not much.”这下,这个留学生就更不明白了。

1 如何在快餐店点餐?在快餐店点餐,店员首先会问你:“For here or to go?”意思是:在这里吃还是带走?如果在店里吃,就回答:“For here.”否则就是“To go.”然后店员会问:“Can I take your order?(请问你要点什么?)”你就可以点餐了,如果点套餐直接说套餐的编号就行,如“Number One.”若想将点的汉堡、饮料等换成大号的,可以说:“Can I biggie size it?(我能换成大的吗?)”有时店员也会主动问:“Do you want to go large?(你想换成大的吗?)”多掌握一些快餐店常用的单词会很有帮助,如French fries(薯条)、ketchup(番茄酱)、barbecue sauce (烤肉酱)、cream(奶油)、sugar(糖)、salt(盐)等。

2 体会英语中的幽默:语音双关—“You’re not eating your fish.”the waitress (服务员) asked him, “Anything wrong with it?”—“Long time no sea,”the customer (顾客) replied.“Long time no sea”,鱼久不见海,肯定不新鲜。

而“long time no see”是朋友见面时所的寒暄语,用于老朋友久别重逢时,意为“好久不见”。

sea 与see 是同音异形异义词,这位顾客巧妙地运用这一点,指出了鱼不好吃,不新鲜。

3正餐知多少?英美国家也习惯一日三餐(three meals a day)。

所谓正餐(dinner),通常指在星期日(Sunday)、生日(birthday)或特别的日子(specialday)精心烹制的膳食。

大部分家庭在正餐前都换衣服。

正餐的菜肴因场合不同而不同。

一顿齐全的正餐顺序大致如下:一、开胃品:饮料、酒(wine)或水果;二、汤(soup):喝汤时有时加黄油(butter)和面包(bread);三、主菜(dish):鱼(fish)、肉(meat)和蔬菜(vegetable),还有土豆和米饭;四、餐后食品:包括点心(dessert)、水果、冰淇淋等;五、最后一道是咖啡(coffee)。

《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。

以下是一些的英语和汉语对手指的称呼: 1.thumb :大拇指。

与汉语相映成趣的是,英语的all(fingers and ) thumbs也表示"笨手笨脚"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这么笨呢,好像连衬衫都扣不上了。

(2)He was so excited that his fingers were all thumbs and he dropped the teacup.他激动得手都不好使了,竟把茶杯摔了。

2. forefinger :又称index finger,即食指。

前缀fore-表示"位置靠前的"(placed at the front),所以从排位上说,forefinger应为"第一指"。

从功用上看,此手指伸出时有标示或指向的作用。

在一些英语工具书中,我们会见到这样的表示"参见"(index)含义的手型符号。

3. middle finger :中指。

此指居中,名正言顺,且与汉语说法也一致。

4. ring finger:无名指。

从世界各地的婚俗习惯来说,结婚戒指(wedding ring)戴在这一手指(通常指左手)之上,表示已婚。

5. little finger: 顾名思义为小指。

在美国和苏格兰,人们又赋予它一个爱称,管pinkie(pinky),后缀-ie(-y)有"小巧可爱"之意。

有趣的小知识英语作文英文:I love learning interesting little facts and tidbits about different topics. It's always fun to share these bits of knowledge with friends and family. One interestinglittle fact that I recently learned is that the shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar in 1896. The war lasted only 38 minutes! It's amazing to think that a war could be over so quickly.Another fascinating fact is that the world's largest desert is not the Sahara, but actually Antarctica. Many people are surprised to learn this, as they often associate deserts with hot, sandy environments. However, a desert is defined by its low precipitation, not by its temperature. Antarctica fits this definition, as it receives very little precipitation, making it the largest desert in the world.I also find it interesting that the Eiffel Tower can be15 cm taller during the summer due to thermal expansion. This is because the iron structure of the tower expands when it gets warmer, causing it to increase in height. It's a great example of how everyday materials can behave in unexpected ways under certain conditions.中文:我喜欢学习有趣的小知识和各种话题的细枝末节。

英语动物趣味小知识

英语动物趣味小知识

英语动物趣味小知识Fun Facts About AnimalsAnimals are fascinating creatures that inhabit our world. From the smallest insects to the biggest mammals, they all have unique characteristics that make them interesting. Here are some fun facts about animals that you may not have known before.1. The blue whale is the largest animal in the world, reaching lengths of up to 100 feet and weighing around 200 tons. Its tongue alone can weigh as much as an elephant. Despite its massive size, the blue whale feeds mostly on tiny shrimp-like animals called krill.2. The honey bee is the only insect that produces food consumedby humans. They create honey by collecting nectar from flowers and then regurgitating and evaporating it in their hives. Honey is not only delicious but also has antimicrobial properties that can help treat wounds.3. Elephants are the only mammals that cannot jump. Their weight, size, and anatomical structure make it physically impossible for them to lift all four feet off the ground at the same time.4. The giraffe has the same number of neck vertebrae as humans, which is seven. However, each of the giraffe's vertebrae can be up to 10 inches long, allowing them to have a long neck that can reach up to 6 feet in length.5. The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird and animal on Earth, reaching speeds of up to 240 miles per hour when hunting its prey.To achieve such high speeds, they dive from great heights and tuck their wings close to their bodies.6. The platypus is one of the few mammals that lays eggs. It has many unique features, including a duck-like bill, waterproof fur, and the ability to produce venom. Male platypus also have venomous spurs on their hind legs, which they use as a defense mechanism during fights.7. Cows have best friends. Research has shown that cows form close bonds with certain individuals in their herd and will prefer to spend time and groom each other. When separated, they can become stressed and exhibit signs of anxiety.8. The kakapo is a parrot species native to New Zealand that cannot fly. It is the heaviest parrot in the world, weighing up to 9 pounds. To compensate for their inability to fly, kakapos have evolved to be excellent climbers, using their strong legs and claws to navigate trees and forage for food.9. The axolotl is a type of salamander that is commonly referred to as a "Mexican walking fish" although it is not a fish at all. It is able to regenerate its limbs and even parts of its organs, making it a valuable model for scientific research on tissue regeneration. 10. The octopus is known for its exceptional intelligence and problem-solving abilities. They can use tools, open jars, and even mimic the appearance and behavior of other animals. This is made possible by their highly developed nervous system and the fact that two-thirds of their neurons are found in their tentacles.These are just a few examples of the fascinating world of animals. There is still so much to learn and discover about these incredible creatures. Whether big or small, each animal has its own unique quirks and characteristics that make it a wonder of nature.继续写相关内容,1500字11. The hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backward. With their unique wing structure and rapid wing beats, hummingbirds are able to hover in mid-air and even fly in reverse. This flight ability allows them to access nectar from flowers that other birds may not be able to reach.12. Dolphins are known for their advanced communication skills and intelligence. They use a series of clicks, whistles, and body movements to communicate with each other. They are also capable of recognizing themselves in mirrors, a sign of self-awareness that is rare among animals.13. The mantis shrimp has one of the most complex visual systems in the animal kingdom. They have up to 16 color receptors (compared to humans who have only three) and can see a much broader spectrum of colors, including ultraviolet light. This gives them a unique advantage when hunting prey or avoiding predators.14. The Arctic tern holds the record for the longest migration of any bird. They travel from their breeding grounds in the Arctic to their wintering grounds in the Antarctic, covering a round-trip distance of over 44,000 miles. This incredible journey allows them to enjoy continuous daylight during the Arctic summer and avoidharsh winter conditions.15. The Australian frilled lizard has a unique defense mechanism. When threatened, it opens its mouth wide, unfurls a large frill around its neck, and hisses loudly. This display makes the lizard appear larger and more intimidating to potential predators, deterring them from attacking.16. The dung beetle is known for its incredible strength. It can rolla ball of dung that is up to 50 times its own weight. This behavior serves as a way for the beetle to transport food and build nests for reproduction. Dung beetles also play a vital ecological role by recycling nutrients and improving soil quality.17. The axolotl, a unique salamander species, has the ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also parts of its heart, spinal cord, and even parts of its brain. This remarkable regenerative capacity has made axolotls a focal point of scientific research, with the potential to provide valuable insights into human tissue regeneration and the treatment of traumatic injuries.18. The digger wasp has an amazing navigation system. It uses landmarks and the position of the Sun to remember the location of its nest, which can be several meters away from where it captures its prey. This ability to navigate and find its way back to its nest with precision highlights the cognitive abilities of these small insects.19. The pistol shrimp has an extraordinary ability to create a shockwave underwater. By snapping its large claw shut at anincredible speed, the shrimp produces a cavitation bubble that generates a shockwave and emits a loud snap sound. This snap is powerful enough to stun or even kill small prey, making it easier for the shrimp to consume.20. The axolotl, often referred to as a "living fossil," has retained juvenile characteristics throughout its life. Unlike most salamanders, the axolotl remains aquatic and keeps its gills, even as it matures into adulthood. This unique trait, known as neoteny, has made axolotls popular pets and subjects of scientific study.21. The giant Pacific octopus is known for its exceptional problem-solving abilities. In captivity, these octopuses have been observed opening jars, mimicking the behavior of other animals, and even solving puzzles to access food rewards. Their highly developed nervous system and flexible behaviors demonstrate the remarkable intelligence of cephalopods.22. The axolotl has the ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord and even parts of its heart and brain. This ability to regrow complex body structures has made them a popular subject of research in regenerative medicine. Scientists hope to unlock the secrets of axolotl regeneration and apply them to human medical treatments.23. The bombardier beetle has a unique defense mechanism. When threatened, it releases a toxic chemical spray from its abdomen. This spray contains a mixture of chemicals that react explosively, producing a hot and noxious gas. The sudden release of this spray can deter predators and give the beetle a chance to escape.24. The electric eel has the ability to produce powerful electric shocks. It uses specialized organs known as electrocytes to generate electricity, which it uses both for hunting prey and for communication with other eels. These shocks can be strong enough to stun or incapacitate fish, making them easier for the eel to catch.25. The hagfish, often regarded as one of the most primitive living vertebrates, has a unique defense mechanism. When threatened, it excretes copious amounts of slimy mucus, which quickly expands in water, forming a thick and sticky slime. This defense mechanism can deter predators and make it difficult for them to grip or swallow the hagfish.26. The kangaroo rat is an amazing desert dweller. It is able to live without drinking water by obtaining all the necessary moisture from its food. To conserve water, kangaroo rats have highly concentrated urine and can tolerate high levels of dehydration.27. The proboscis monkey has one of the most distinctive faces in the animal kingdom. The males have large, pendulous noses that can grow up to 7 inches long. This long nose serves as a resonating chamber, amplifying their calls and attracting mates. The size of the nose is also an indicator of dominance among male proboscis monkeys.28. The fennec fox is well-adapted to desert life. It has large ears that help dissipate heat and detect prey underground. It also has specialized kidneys that allow it to conserve water by producing highly concentrated urine. These adaptations help the fennec foxsurvive in its arid environment.29. The axolotl exhibits an amazing ability to regrow lost body parts. This includes not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord, heart, and parts of the brain. Unlike most animals, which heal wounds by forming scar tissue, axolotls can regenerate complete and functional tissues, making them a valuable model for regenerative medicine research.30. The peacock spider is known for its colorful and intricate courtship displays. The male spider performs a dance, extending its vibrant abdominal flaps and waving its legs in a mesmerizing pattern to attract a female. These displays are not only visually striking but also provide important information about the male's fitness and reproductive potential.31. The African elephant is the largest land animal. It has a complex social structure and exhibits behaviors such as mourning, altruism, and empathy. Elephants have been observed showing care and compassion towards other injured or grieving elephants, demonstrating their emotional intelligence and social bonds.32. The leafy sea dragon is a mesmerizing and unique marine creature. It camouflages itself with leaf-like appendages all over its body, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its environment. This remarkable adaptation helps the leafy sea dragon avoid predators and ambush its own prey.33. The axolotl has the ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord, heart, and parts of its brain. This exceptionalregenerative capacity has attracted the attention of scientists worldwide, as they seek to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie tissue regeneration.34. The mimic octopus is a master of disguise. It has the ability to change its color, pattern, and shape to mimic various other marine animals, such as lionfish, flatfish, and sea snakes. This camouflage helps the mimic octopus blend in with its surroundings and avoid predators.35. The lyrebird is known for its astonishing vocal abilities. It can mimic the sounds of other birds, animals, and even man-made objects with remarkable accuracy. This mimicry serves as a way for male lyrebirds to attract mates and establish their territory.36. The axolotl is considered a critically endangered species in the wild. Its natural habitat, the Xochimilco canals in Mexico, has been greatly degraded due to pollution and urbanization. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and restore the axolotl's habitat, as well as establish captive breeding programs to ensure the survival of this unique species.37. The Angora rabbit is famous for its long and silky fur, which can grow up to 6 inches in length. This luxurious coat requires regular grooming and maintenance, making Angora rabbits popular among breeders and enthusiasts interested in fiber arts such as weaving and spinning.38. The axolotl exhibits a phenomenon known as neoteny, where it retains juvenile characteristics throughout its life. Unlike mostsalamanders, which undergo metamorphosis and develop lungs to live on land, axolotls remain aquatic and retain their gills. This unique trait has made them a popular research model for studying tissue regeneration and developmental biology.39. The blue-footed booby is a seabird known for its vibrant, bright blue feet, which it displays during courtship rituals. Males perform elaborate dances, lifting and showing off their feet to attract females. The brightness of the blue feet is an indicator of themale's health and reproductive fitness.40. The axolotl has the remarkable ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord, heart, and parts of its brain. This regenerative capacity is due to a combination of factors, including the presence of stem cells, a robust immune response, and the activation of specific genetic pathways. Studying axolotl regeneration could provide insights into potential regenerative therapies for humans.In conclusion, the animal kingdom is full of fascinating creatures with unique characteristics. From the incredible regenerative abilities of the axolotl to the complex social structures of elephants, animals never cease to amaze us. There is always more to learn and discover about these remarkable beings. By studying and appreciating the wonders of the animal world, we can gain a deeper understanding of our own place in the natural world. Let us continue to protect and preserve these incredible creatures for future generations to appreciate and admire.。
