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

又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。

续动物篇

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

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。）人们应用这句话是常把原文的mine该成my.这句话也常常出现在Willy Loman的台词中。

〔例1〕 We like to try to provide a wide range of hobbies for our members to choose from. We know there are horses for courses.

〔例2〕 This drug worked for your mother but it might not work for you.There are horses for courses in the medical world.
