英语习语典故趣谈1
2. a pig in a poke poke在这儿解释为口袋。中世纪的英国， 有许多不法分子在繁荣的市集中行骗。卖 猪的贩子，通常只会摆一只小猪在架上， 当做样品让来往的客人看，其他的猪只则 装在袋中，购买时一手交钱，一手交袋。 通常客人购买时，都不会打开袋子检查里 面的物品，而是买了就走，直到回了家， 才发现里面装的原来是野猫。
4. Bark up the wrong tree 做事、看人，首先得找定目标。找目标很伤脑筋， 找错目标更伤脑筋。汉语中，我们常戏谑看走 眼的“他”：“找错人了”；英语中相应的说 法是：He is barking up the wrong tree。 据记载，该短语源于17世纪美国殖民地时期。当时 的美洲人烟稀少，开发西部的拓荒者靠打猎为 生。狩猎自然需要猎狗，不过，聪明的猎狗有 时也会被猎物耍弄。比如，浣熊常常昼眠夜出， 黑暗中它会误导猎狗，让其误以为自己躲在已 经空了的树洞里。结果，猎狗对着错误的目标 狂吠不已(to bark up the wrong tree)。随着时间 的推移，“to bark up the wrong tree”逐渐被公 众所接受，借喻“精力或目标集中在错误的地 方”。
只吃一餐，营养摄取不够。 If you think I can come up with more money, you're barking up the wrong tree. 如果你指望我拿出更多的钱，那你找错人了。
5. bell the cat bell the cat源自一个故事：有一窝老鼠，因为怕 猫，不敢出去找食物。其中有一只老鼠想了一 个办法，在猫的脖子上套一个铃铛，这样，他 们就可以知道猫在哪里，然后避开它找食物。 这个办法得到全体老鼠的一致拥护，但有一个 最重要的问题尚未解决：谁去给猫套铃铛呢？ 也就是：Who will bell the cat? 这个故事的结局 怎样，没有明确的说法，但bell the cat这个短语 却被人们反复引用，意思是“为了大家的利益 承担风险”。
