英语习语
英语学习材料This woman has been in my life for a long time. This so-called long time spans more than a decade. The first time I came to know something about her brilliance was when I bumped into a blockbuster film one summer. It was the Murder on the Nile. Years later I watched the whodunit movie several times on various occasions, but the first impact of that summer night remains strong. What a woman! What a mind! How could she manage to write some many mysteries? Her books testify to the fact that outstanding people do exist in this world. She is dubbed as the queen of deception and the greatest crime writer. I used to wonder a lot about this woman. Three or four years after watching the movie, I managed to read that novel in English and was deeply impressed. Though even now I still can not completely follow her descriptions and, before I reach the last page of a story, figure out a culprit of a murder case or the ins and outs of a mystery, more often than not, I simply follow her to the end of all stories, without bothering to make efforts to unravel mysteries. I have read some stories about her the author. And sometimes I tell myself that murders and mysteries are among the first impressions I have about that island country whose language I have learned to read and speak. If someone asks me what I know about the UK, I will certainly cite her as part of my first impression.Yet, in all these years when she was in my life, I had never connected her with poetry. It had been so all the time until last night.Over years I have painfully bought and gladly read many of Agatha Christie’s books. She is always a delight. Last night I was reading her book titled “The Mysterious Mr. Quin” when I ran into such a sentence: the face that made history. I did not finish the story because that sentence made me stop and marvel at the magic power of the author and the hidden part of her life unknown to me. This novelette is composed of twelve separate mysteries solved or witnessed by an old gentleman. The mysterious Mr. Quin appeared in each of these stories. He either helped point out details overlooked by the gentleman called Mr. Satterthwaite or helped offer insight into an intricate puzzle by asking smart questions. The story I was reading last night was The Face of Helen, the name of a Greek beauty who eloped with a prince and gave rise to the famous Trojan War. One evening, Mr. Satterthwaite looked down into the theater house from his box and spotted a beautiful girl. He was bewitched by the back of the girl. He yearned to see the face of that girl. So during a break, he and the mysterious Mr. Quinn went downstairs and created a chance to pass by the girl and her boyfriend. They saw the beauty. Then Agatha Christie commented briefly that it was a face that made history.This pithy and juicy comment made me excited. Though I had read some stories about pretty women in history, I had never read any writer who linked a face with history in such a poetic and enlightening way. Then my yellowish mind began to wander. I put down the book and enjoyed the quiet moment. Yes, some beauties did make history. Not just the written history of facts and events and dates, but also the history of men’s wild imagination. Stories and poems have come out continuously century in and century out about women of striking beauty. Movies that explore the past beauties’ stories always capture the imagination of audience. Men wish to see beauties that made history. Women wish to see how some beautiful women conquered men. Some bewitched writers even go so far as to invent or reinvent women whose beauty played a role in shaping thehistory. There are thousands of histories existing in thousands of minds. Every man has a gallery of images of beauties in history. Yes, men’s feelings and expectations and doings mi ght be mysteriously shaped by the hidden images in the heart. Shaped by these hidden images and with fantasies fanned by such images, men set out to make history.When my yellowish mind became less excited and flooded by swirling images and pulsating fantasies, I began to wonder about Agatha Christie, a woman who has been in my life for so many years. That pithy and juicy description has revealed a new aspect of the author to me. The master of crime fictions looks austere, her books appear grim, her stories make the readers shudder, and her insight of human nature is blood-congealing. Yet, she has something so poetic in her. This discovery has taught me a lesson: how much do I know about a woman? This woman has been in my life for such a long time and I have been blind to this part of her for all these years. How observant I am! Though not a woman with a face that made history, she certainly made history with her books. I am a lucky man because she has been in my life for all these years and because she makes me happy and because she will continue to be in my life.[体育英语]--足球常用英语集锦football, soccer, Association football 足球field, pitch 足球midfield 中场kick-off circle 中圈half-way line 中线football, eleven 足球队football player 足球运动员goalkeeper, goaltender, goalie 守门员back 后卫left 左后卫right back 右后卫centre half back 中卫half back 前卫left half back 左前卫right half back 右前卫forward 前锋centre forward, centre 中锋inside left forward, inside left 左内锋inside right forward, inside right 右内锋outside left forward, outside left 左边锋outside right forward, outside right 右边锋kick-off 开球bicycle kick, overhead kick 倒钩球chest-high ball 平胸球corner ball, corner 角球goal kick 球门球ground ball, grounder 地面球hand ball 手触球header 头球penalty kick 点球spot kick 罚点球free kick 罚任意球throw-in 掷界外球ball handling 控制球block tackle 正面抢截body check 身体阻挡bullt 球门前混战fair charge 合理冲撞chesting 胸部挡球close-marking defence 钉人防守close pass, short pass 短传consecutive passes 连续传球deceptive movement 假动作diving header 鱼跃顶球flying headar 跳起顶球dribbling 盘球finger-tip save （守门员）托救球clean catching （守门员）跳球抓好flank pass 边线传球high lobbing pass 高吊传球scissor pass 交叉传球volley pass 凌空传球triangular pass 三角传球rolling pass, ground pass 滚地传球slide tackle 铲球clearance kick 解除危险的球to shoot 射门grazing shot 贴地射门close-range shot 近射long drive 远射mishit 未射中offside 越位to pass the ball 传球to take a pass 接球spot pass 球传到位to trap 脚底停球to intercept 截球to break through, to beat 带球过人to break loose 摆脱to control the midfield 控制中场to disorganize the defence 破坏防守to fall back 退回to set a wall 筑人墙to set the pace 掌握进攻节奏to ward off an assault 击退一次攻势to break up an attack 破坏一次攻势ball playing skill 控救技术total football 全攻全守足球战术open football 拉开的足球战术off-side trap 越位战术wing play 边锋战术shoot-on-sight tactics 积极的抢射战术time wasting tactics 拖延战术four backs system 四后卫制four-three-three formation 4-3-3 阵式four-two-four formation 4-2-4 阵式Brazilian formation 巴西阵式，4-2-4 阵式red card 红牌（表示判罚出场）yellow card 黄牌（表示警告）[归类总结]：英语数量词大全数词主要分为基数词和序数词两类。

Three sheets in the wind自然是大醉特醉了由three组合成的习语还有：Three score and ten -- 古稀之年score在英语中是"二十" 的意思。
尽管这一习语中的数字加起来是七十，但在引喻中只是泛指老年而已4．Four-letter words -- 粗俗的下流话。

有趣的英语习语4
31 play second fiddle该成语play second fiddle直译为“演奏第二小提琴，”喻指“居次要位置”，“当配角”。
举凡一个交响乐团，为了造成良好的音响效果，除了要有第一小提琴手外，还须要有第二小提琴手。
否则，如果只有主角而无配角的话，整个演奏效果还是好不了。
因此，play second fiddle表示“当配角”。
32 the night of the long knives该成语the night of the long knives直译为“长刀之夜”，指采取背信弃义的行动，进行血的清洗的时刻。
源自英国历史。
公元472年萨克逊人入侵，首领亨吉斯特邀请当地布立吞人上层显要赴会，席间在每个布立吞人身边都安排一个身背长刀的萨克逊人同坐。
在首领发出约定信号后，萨克逊人立即拔刀直刺布立吞人，被杀者多达460名。
•另一说法是，希特勒为强化法西斯独裁统治，于1934年6月29日晚对褐衫突击队进行了大清洗，把可与之抗衡的军界头目数目人一网打尽。
因此，该成语表示采取背信弃义的行动，进行血的清洗的时刻。
33 Mare’s Nest该成语“母马之巢”(Mare’s Nest)。
英国古代撒克逊人认为，人们夜间做梦是因为一个叫做马拉的精灵在人们熟睡之后，悄悄溜进卧室压在沉睡者的胸上造成的。
此时人们•感到压抑，呼吸困难，于是就有了各种各样的可怕噩梦。
据说这个马拉精灵就象母鸡孵蛋一样，总是趴在家藏的珍宝上，它趴过的地方叫“母马之巢”。
而所谓的“珍宝”只不过是人们的想象，并非实指，梦中发现“母马之巢”，不过是场空欢喜而已。
因此，“a mare’s nest”指“无稽之谈；虚无缥缈。
”34 keep the ball rolling该成语keep the ball rolling直译为“保持球在滚动”，出自橄榄球赛用语。
18世纪美国开始盛行橄榄球赛或曲棍球赛。
在激烈紧张的球赛中球总是在不停的快速的传接滚动，赛场的气氛因此而热烈起来。
英语中有趣的数字
由于在英语里，数字常常单独出现，而不像汉语里后面总跟有名词，所以有时会很难分辨数字所指的是什么。
例如：A boy of six eleven, he had just turned seventeen when the coach took him in the provincial eleven.一个六英尺十一英寸的男孩子，在刚满十七岁时被教练选到省足球队。
第一组数字 six eleven 指的是身高，第二个数字指年龄，第三个数字 eleven 则是因为足球比赛每一方上场队员是十一名，所以代指足球队，国家队可以叫做 the national eleven。
九人一组的棒球队则叫做 the nine，比如：the Tiger nine（老虎棒球队）。
He did not turn up until the eleventh hour.他直到最后一刻才出现。
这句话里的 the eleventh hour 虽然是数词加名词的结构，但却不能直译为十一点，这条成语的意思是"最后时刻"。
英语中有时用数字来表示人的身体部位体态。
He crawled on all fours to a nearby village.他手脚并用，爬到了邻近的村子。
复数形式的four在这里指代人的四肢。
而Instead of chopsticks he simply uses his bunch of five.他不用筷子，而用手抓著吃。
这里的 bunch of five 则是指人手的五个手指。
说一个人 five by five 是说他的身高横竖都是五英尺，即汉语里的"五短身材"。
常听到人们说 go fifty-fifty，意思是平分，也可以说 go half-half，即汉语里讲的"二一添作五"；而 'We'll go by six by six.'，"six by six"是指一种六轮汽车。
“带数字”的英语俗语让你的英语写作更上一层楼
Headoffice管理总部“带数字”的英语俗语让你的英语写作更上一层楼。
中文常会听到这样的表达方式，丰富多彩、包罗万象，其中一些数字式俗语的运用使得汉语口语活泼生动，例如“不管三七二十一”、“八九不离十”、“二一添作五”、“一推三六九”、“八字不见一撇”、“五大三粗”等，更有些颇具地方色彩的俗语如“二百五”、“十三点”等等。
像这样的例子举不胜举，很有意思的是，英语中也有这样的表达方式，如：nine-to-fiver指朝九晚五的工作或普通的上班族，fifth column泛指通敌的内奸，a Catch-22 situation表示难以逾越的障碍，而forty winks则是小睡、打盹儿，等等。
英语中数字式俗语在日常生活中被广泛应用，熟练地掌握它们有助于英语学习者对英语国家文化的了解。
以下笔者就这方面的常见用法作一个简单介绍。
1. zero hour 重要决定或变化到来的时刻;危险行动的时刻zero hour是源于第一次世界大战的军事用语，用以指发起进攻等军事行动的准确时刻，后被用来指重要决定或变化到来的时刻。
