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。

英语趣味有奖问答(英语趣味活动)

When I am riding on horseback.(当我正骑在马背上的时候）
Back 是“背，背部；后部，后面；背面，反面” 等意思，在这里是“马背”。（1）there and back ，往返，来回。 e.g. Can I go there and back in one day?我能在一天内来回吗？
When can you run just as fast as a horse？（什么时候你能跑得像马一样快？）题中，“as+adj.+as”意为 “和……一样”，just是 “恰好、正好”之意。如：I want to be as popular as she is. 我想和她一样受欢迎。2、He is as old as I am. 他与我同龄。
还要注意:lots of 后可接可数和不可数名词,在此tea为液体,是不可数名词.
其余,与”lots of”同义为”大量的,许多的”之意的短语有: “a great many of”因短语中有many ,故此短语修饰可数名词; “a great deal of pleasure”这个短语修饰不可数名词. e.g. A great many There isn’t of our products are sold overseas.（海外） or:“a great many of” a great deal I can do to help him.

趣味英语小短文

1．Food and studyAs food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and m uscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we sho uld keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expan d our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible f uel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgmen t. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regar d school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the con trary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the gra ve. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic insti nct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away ob stacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our c haracter. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。

你不能不知道的趣味英语知识关键词一：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，不过千万别误会，这可是你吃不了的苹果，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，那可是个美食之都。

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!She’s really out in left field!”这里，out in left field 专门用来形容那些古怪或者是莫名其妙的人。

Surf n’Turf：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 n’Turf就是一种在洛杉矶非常普及的美食，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，你可以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，但在美国加州也非常的流行。

“stand”是一种街边小摊，你可以在那儿买到一些速食。

一般这要比McDonalds(麦当劳)或是Burger King(汉堡王)那样的速食连锁店要便宜，但是食物要可口的多哦!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在这里是“热狗”的意思。

这些小贩就正在Selling Hot dogs(卖热狗)。

关键词二：玩“Bro”、“Dude”、“Brother”、“Amigo”：在美国，所有这些词都是用来称呼男性朋友的常用词。

这个想法是错误的。

语言是用来交换思想，进行交流沟通的！)2. The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often aspossible.(学习一门语言的方法就是要尽量多地练习说。

）3. A great man once said it is necessary to d ill as much as possible, and the more you appl y it in real situations, the more natural it w ill become.(一位伟人曾说，反复操练是非常必要的，你越多的将所学到的东西运用到实际生活中，他们就变的越自然。

）4. Learning any language takes a lot of effor t. But don't give up.(学习任何语言都是需要花费很多努力，但不要放弃。

)5. Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun.(放松点！要有耐性，并让自己快乐！学习外语应该是乐趣无穷的。

英语小知识(精选30则)

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。

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.。
