源自欧洲寓言名著的英文典故 (4)

1.Grin like a cheshire cat咧嘴傻笑;露齿嬉笑
Grin like a cheshire cat字面意思是“象柴郡猫那样咧开嘴笑”,这个成语也可写成 to wear/have a grin like a Cheshire cat,或to smile like a Cheshire cat。关于这个成语有2种说法
Cheshire是英格兰西部的一郡,当地出产一种颇有特色的干酪,叫“柴郡干酪”(Cheshire cheese),曾经一度作成象笑脸猫的形状。另一种说法是:柴郡有位画家,他给当地旅馆绘画的招牌上,都画了一只咧着嘴笑的狮子。
艾里克·帕特里奇先生(Mr. Eric Partridge)认为,这个成语大约从1770年开始就作为贬义词使用。英国《朗曼英国成语词典》等辞书,认为这个成语源自维多利亚女王时代(1835--1901),英国数学家和童话作家刘易斯·卡洛尔(Lewis Carroll,1832--1898)在他所写的童话《阿丽思漫游奇境记》(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)中详细的描述了公爵夫人家中的一只柴郡猫。《阿丽思漫游奇境记》第6章有段这样的对话:
"Please,would you tell me,"said Alice a little limidly..."why your cat grins like that?"
"It's a Cheshire cat,"said the Duchess,"and that's why."
卡洛尔的童话,通过虚幻离奇的情节,嘲讽了19世纪后半期英国的社会现象。《阿丽思漫游奇境记》在1865年7月问世后,轰动了全英国。作者由此一举成名。“柴郡猫”的生动想象,是否他所创造,有待于进一步考证,但to grin like a Cheshire cat是随着该书的风行而被广泛使用,应无疑义。根据书中的描述,这个成语常用来表示to grin broadly,showing great amusement; to laugh at nothing that is amusing;to smile widely,in such a way that on shows all one's teeth.
eg:Poor little Hans only grinned like a Cheshire cat when he was scolded.
Mamma is smiling with all her might.In fact Mr. Newcome says..."that woman grins like a Cheshire cat."Who was the naturalist of the cats in Cheshire?
It is no good smiling at me like a Cheshire cat,Mr.Lubin.
2.A storm in a Teacup杯水风波;小题大做;大惊小怪
A storm in a Teacup字面意思“茶杯里的风暴”;美国英语为“a tempest in a teapot/barrel”,也作tea-pot tempest.
A storm in a Teacup出自法国著名作家巴尔扎克(Honore de Balzac,1799-1850)记述,这句话出自18世纪法国哲学家和思想家孟德斯鸠的名言。有一次,他听说圣马力诺发生了政治动乱,就用“茶杯里的风暴”来评论。因为圣马力诺是欧洲最小的共和国,只有一万人口,孟德斯鸠认为那里的动乱对整个欧洲局势无足轻重。
探源搠流,远在公元前古希腊了罗马的名人著作中就有过类似的形象比喻。如古罗马著名作家和演说家西塞罗(Cicero)在其著作《论法律》中就有这样的话:excitare fluctus in simpulo,意即to stir up waves in a ladle。此外,还有a storm in a cream-bowl;a storm in a wash-hand basin等说法。尽管它们比喻的形象不同,但都是用来表示much excitement about something trivial;a lot of fuss about a trifle之意。按其比喻意义,相当与“小题大做”大惊小怪。
The people next door are continually quarreling ,but it is usually a storm in a teacup.
What is it all about?Nothing serious,just a tempest in a teapot.
3. a tower of ivory 或an ivory tower象牙之塔;世外桃源
a tower of ivory常用来比喻一种与世隔绝的梦幻境地,即the place of seclusion or retreat from realisties of life.
She lives in a tower of ivory apart from her friends.
They view college as an ivory tower.
4.have an axe to grind别有用心;另有企图;怀有私心
have an axe to grind是个源自美国的成语,字面意思是“让斧头磨一磨”,寓意是to have private interests to serve;to have sth to gain for oneself;to have a selfish reason等之意。
据英国《朗曼英国成语词典》等记述。这个成语出自美国著名的政治家、科学家本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin,1706--1790)所写的一则故事。富兰克林幼年时,在院子里遇到一个带有斧头的陌生人,那人称赞院子里那个磨石(grindstone)很好,想看看它好不好使,便花言巧语的让他转动磨石,而那人就在上面磨利自己的斧头。
据“美国之音”英语广播节目《词汇掌故》说,这个成语出自1810年美国宾夕法尼亚(Pennsylvania)一家报纸上首次刊登的一则故事。故事说的是有个陌生人手持一把斧头,想找磨石来磨利他的斧头。他在街上遇到一个男孩,就问道:“好孩子,你爸爸有磨石吗?”那男孩就带他到家里来,帮他转动磨石磨斧头。这对一个孩子来说是件艰苦的活,男孩把手都磨破了,累个半死才把斧头磨得闪闪发光。那个人见目的达到,不仅没向小孩道谢,反而教训孩子快点去上学,以免迟到.
2个出典实质上讲的是同一件事。富兰克林作为一位杰出的资产阶级革命家,担任的最后一项公职就是宾夕法尼亚州废奴委员会会长,为废除奴隶制而奔忙,直到生命的最后一息。宾夕法尼亚州一家报纸在富兰克林逝世20周年发表那篇小故事,应该就是他生前所讲的故事。这个故事的寓意很清楚:“持斧待磨者”用恭维的话来达到个人目的,人们不要上当受骗。
He may offer you a post in his firm,but he has an axe to grind, he wants to stand well with your father.
His interest in our venture cannot be sincere,because i knew he has an axe to grind.
In the first place,let me assure you,gentlemen,that i have not an axe to grind

源自欧洲寓言名著的英文典故(3)

1. attic salt优雅的俏皮话;妙语
attic salt的字面意思是“阿提卡的盐”。阿提卡洲(attica)是希腊东南部的一个州,其首府是雅典。阿提卡州是个半岛,工商业发达,特别盛产海盐,相传,阿提卡州的盐比希腊其他地方出产的盐精细有味,深受欢迎。阿提卡人机智风趣,善于说俏皮话,以幽雅的诙谐著称于世。
这个成语出自古罗马著名的作家和演说家西塞罗 (Marcus Tullius Cicero,公元前106-前43)。他的论文和演讲词,都是文体和标准拉丁语的典范,在其作品中论述了古希腊人精心研究的雄辩术理论,特别提到以口齿锋利著称的阿提卡人。公元前55年,西塞罗以文艺对话形式写的主要著作《辩论》(De oratore),探讨了演讲艺术中的诙谐问题。他说,妙语应当含有“盐味”,象“阿提卡的盐”那样有味。
在现在英语中,salt一词含有“风趣”,“兴味”等转义。成语attic salt常用来表示poignant delicate wit;wit of a refined quality。因此也可写attic wit.
eg: Yesterday Mrs Williams gave a talk to the Women's Institute on her travels in Asia.It was full of Attic Salt.
A talk full of attic salt is worth listening to.
They are in the habit of speaking with attic wit.
2.one's pound of flesh残酷榨取;割肉还债
相信大家都看过莎士比亚的《威尼斯商人》。这里就不加以介绍。one's pound of flesh比喻to insist cruelly on repayment of what was borrowed,常用在have,demand,exact,want,ask for 等之后。
eg:If you borrow from the scoundredl,you may be sure he'll demand hhis pound of flesh.
Their boss pays the highest wages,but he wants his pound of flesh in return and makes them work very hard.
3.john bull(s)约翰牛;英国佬
“约翰牛”是英国人的绰号,意义是english nation,the typical englishmen.这个雅号是英国人自己取的,出自16世纪英国著名作家兼宫廷御医约翰·阿布斯诺特(John Arbuthnot,1667--1735)的政治讽刺作品。
阿布斯诺特在1712年写了一本讽刺小说,名叫《约翰牛的生平》(The History of John Bull),该书的主人公约翰牛就是英国的人格化、形象化。
作者笔下的约翰牛,是个英国“自由民”,为人粗暴冷酷,桀骜不逊,颇有些牛劲。他盛气凌人、欺辱弱者,如果谁流露出对他稍微表示不满的反抗情绪,他立即摆出一副格斗的架势。作者通过这个赳赳武夫的形象,暗喻当年英国的专横跋扈,抨击“民权党”(英国自由党的前身)的好战策略。显然,这个绰号最初含贬斥色彩。
这个形象的出现,绝非作者凭空捏造,而是与当时英国的社会经济状况紧密相连。在英国资产阶级革命胜利后的17世纪,英国毛纺工业迅速发展,资本的原始积累不断扩大,资产阶级政权对内实行“圈地运动“,对外实行殖民地的掠夺政策,以便积累大量的工业资本。“约翰牛”的形象正是这个时期英国的体现这。
John Bull这个颇古的典故成语,19世纪 的著名作家狄更斯(Charles Dickens,1812--1870)就曾引用过。随着时间的推移,“约翰牛”的形象发生了耐人寻味的变化,由最初那个身强力壮、满脸横肉的中年船长想象,变成了一个年过半百、五短身材的矮胖子。于是漫画上出现的”约翰牛“,是个头戴宽边礼帽,足蹬翻口皮鞋,身穿茄克衫的绅士摸样。当年那种杀气滕滕的气概收敛不少,其原来的贬义似乎变成了褒义。”约翰牛“逐渐变成了一位饱经事故的实干家形象,他的行为成了英国的人的标准行为。这样一来,john bull这个成语就成了英国人或者英国的代名词了;而与之相关的john bullism 就指”英国精神“”英国习气“或”英国的典型性格“,john bullist则常指”英国迷“
eg:By some he is called..."a thoroughbred englishman",by some,"a genuine john bull"...
John bulls belong to the white race.

A psalm of life 人生礼颂

Herry Wadsworth Longfellow/享利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗 

Tell me not in mournful numbers, 请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲; 
Life is but an empty dream! 人生呵,无非是虚梦一场! 
For the soul is dead that slumbers 因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般, 
And things are not what they seem. 事物的表里并不一样。 

Life is real! Life is earnest! 人生是实在的!人生是热烈的! 
And the grave is not its goal; 人生的目标决不是坟墓; 
Dust thou art , to dust returnest, 你是尘土,应归于尘土。 
Was not spoken of the soul. 此话指的并不是我们的精神。 

Not enjoyment , and not sorrow, 我们的归宿并不是快乐, 
Is our destined and our way; 也不是悲伤, 
But to act, 实干 
That much to-morrow. 才是我们的道路, 
Find us farther than to-day. 每天不断前进,蒸蒸蒸日上。 

Art is long , and time is fleeting. 光阴易逝,而艺海无涯, 
And our hearts , though stout and brave. 我们的心哪——虽然勇敢坚强, 
Still , like muffled drums , are beating 却像被布蒙住的铜鼓, 
Funeral marches to the grave。 常把殡葬的哀乐擂响。 

In the world’s broad field of battle, 在这人生的宿营地, 
In the bivouac of Life, 在这辽阔的世界战场, 
Be not like dumb,driven cattle! 别做无言的牲畜任人驱赶, 
Be a hero in the strife! 做一名英雄汉立马横枪! 

Trust no future.howe’er pleasant! 别相信未来,哪怕未来多么欢乐! 
Let the dead Past bury its dead! 让死去的往昔将死亡一切埋葬! 
Act,act in the living Present! 上帝在上,我们胸怀勇气, 
Heart within,and God O’erhead! 行动吧———趁现在活着的好时光! 

Lives of great men all remind us 伟人的生平使我们想起, 
We can make our lives sublime, 我们能使自己的一生变得高尚! 
And departing,leave behind us 当我们辞别人间, 
Footprints on the sands of time; 能把足迹留在时间的流沙上, 

Footprints that perhaps another, 也许有个遭了船灾的苦难弟兄, 
Sailing o’er life solemn main, 他曾在庄严的人生大海中飘航, 
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, 见到我们的脚印, 
Seeing,shall take heart again, 又会满怀信心。 

Let us,then,be up and doing, 让我们起来干吧, 
With a heart for any fate; 下定决心,不管遭遇怎样; 
Still achieving,still pursuing 不断胜利,不断追求, 
Learn to labour and to wait. 要学会苦干和耐心等待。

源自欧洲寓言名著的英文典故(2)

1.Fish in Troubled Waters浑水摸鱼;趁火打劫;陷于混乱
Fish in Troubled Waters直译是:“浑水里捕鱼”,出自《伊索寓言·渔夫》这篇寓言讲的是:有个渔夫在河里张网捕鱼,他把鱼网横栏在河道里,然后拿了一条缚着石块的绳子,不停的拍击河水,使泥沙泛起,河水浑浊,鱼儿在慌乱中纷纷自投罗网,渔夫用这个方法捕得了好多鱼。但住在附近的人指责渔夫说:“我们饮水全靠这条河,你把水搞得这么浑,叫我们到哪里去找清水饮用呢?”渔夫回答说:“可是,我若不把水搞浑,那就非饿死不可了”
因此,人们常用to fish in trouble waters 比喻to try to win advantages for oneself from a disturbed state of affairs; to make use of sb's misfortune to serve one's own ends.并因此产生了谚语it’s good fishing in troubled waters(混水好摸鱼)。
在英语中,to fish in troubled waters 也可写成to fish in the muddy waters,而且water必须做waters。
eg:The man who interferes in South American politics is fishing in troubled waters
I refused to let them come here because i knew they only wanted to fish in troubled waters
Those who made large profits out of illegally selling rationed goods during World War II were fishing in troubled waters.
2.cat's paw 被他人利用的人;受人愚弄者
cat's paw 也坐cat's-paw或catspaw,字面意思“猫爪子”,出典17世纪法国著名的寓言作家拉·封丹的《猴子与猫》。讲的是狡猾的猴子哄骗头脑简单的猫儿,替它从炉火中取出烤熟的栗子来。猫儿应命去做,结果猫爪子被火烧伤了,而取出的栗子却被猴子吃光了。
追根嗍源,远在公元前3世纪的《伊索寓言》中就有这个故事,不过没有题目。
cat's paw常用来比喻a person used as a tool by another;one who is used merely for the convenience of a cleverer or stronger person之意。按其内涵,这个成语与汉语成语“为虎作伥”所比喻的意义相似,仅是动物的形象不同。cat's paw除了单独做复合名词使用外,还构成to make a cat's paw of sb(利用某人做为工具或爪牙)
eg:It is easy for him to be used as a cat's paw of evil-doing.
I am afraid that he is making a cat's paw of you.
3.Pull the chestnuts out of the fire火中取栗;替别人冒险
Pull the chestnuts out of the fire来自法国著名的寓言作家拉·封丹的《猴子与猫》。
cat's paw与Pull the chestnuts out of the fire是同源成语,但两个成语无论在结构上或意义上都不相同,前者比喻充当别人的工具或爪牙,后者常用来表示to do sth dangerous for others的意思。
这个成语也作to pull sb's chestnuts,或者to put the chestnuts for sb.
eg:I had pulled the chestnuts out of the fire for him on several occasions and was unwilling to do it again.
They are pulling chestnuts out of the fire for the imperialists without knowing it
You can't make me your catspaw to pull your chestnuts out of the fire...

源自欧洲寓言名著的英文典故(1)

1.a dog in the manger占着茅坑不拉屎的人
出自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables),有一篇狗站马槽的故事,说的是一头狗躺在堆满稻草的马槽里,狗是不吃草的动物,而当马或牛一走进稻草时,这头狗却朝着马,牛狂哮,不准食草动物享用。因此,“狗站马槽”就成了一个家喻户晓的成语而进入英语中,常用来比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it,讽刺那些占据说职位或某些物质却不做事的人。
a dog in the manger是个名词性短语,常与系动词连用,充当表语(主语补足语)
eg:He borrowed a lot of books from the library,but he didn't read a book.He was really a dog in the manger.
There are some officials who are only the dogs in the manger.
Smith was a dog in the manger over that roll of wire;it was no use whatever to him,but he wouldn't let us have it.
2.bell the cat自告奋勇去冒险;老虎头上拍苍蝇
bell the cat系成语to hang the bell about the cat's neck的简略,愿意是“给猫的脖子上挂铃”。它来自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)中的《老鼠会议》(The Mice in Council)
这篇寓言讲的是:一群老鼠在鼠洞里举行会议,讨论如何对付凶狠的猫。白胡须老鼠提出:“我有个方法,在猫的脖子上挂一个铃。这样,猫一走动铃就响,我们就可以闻铃声而逃避了”,群鼠一致同意这个建议,欢呼:“That's a capital idea.We will bell the cat!No more fear of the cat!”但是,谁去给猫挂铃铛呢?没有一只老鼠敢去,一个个都溜掉了。老鼠会议豪无结果,它们不安全的境况当然也无法改善。
寓言所寄托的意思很明白:遇到困难的问题时候,既需要有出谋献策的人,更需要有挺身而出的实干家。
bell the cat常用来比喻to do sth dangerous in order to save others;to step forwar bravely to face the danger;to take a risk for the good of others.
eg:Everybody made suggestion,but no one actually offered to bell the cat.
We didn't know who would put him this delicate question when my friend offered to bell the cat.
3.cry wolf虚发警报;慌报险情;危言耸听
cry wolf来自《伊索寓言》:《牧童和狼》 (The Shepherdboy and the wolf)
有个牧童在离村子不远的山坡上放羊,有一次,他为了开心作乐,突然大喊:“Help!Help!The wolf!”全村的人都闻声跑来援助他时,才知道这只是开玩笑。如此恶作剧搞了两三次。后来,狼真的来了,那个牧童再呼号求救时,谁也不理会他了。于是,狼把他的羊吃了。
这篇寓言的意义很清楚:爱说谎话的人,即或在他说真话时,也没人相信他。由此,人们用to cry wolf 来概括这篇寓言的基本情节及其教诫意义,用以比喻to give false alarms;to warn of danger where there is none之意。按其比喻意义,这个成语相当与汉语中出自《东周列国志》的典故:烽火戏诸侯。周幽王为博得宠妃褒泥一笑,竟然把军国大事当儿戏,烽火报警戏诸侯,使各路诸侯仓促发兵,驰援京师,结果收到嘲笑。后来犬戎进犯,幽王再举烽火调兵,谁也不来了,结果周幽王遭到杀身亡国之祸。这2个典故的情节虽不同,寓意却完全不一致,都是表示“一朝说假话,一世无人信”
eg:Nobody will believe he is in trouble because he has cried wolf so many times.
Is she really sick of is she just crying wolf?
The newspaper placards that had cried "wolf" so often,cried "wolf" now in vain.

公共场所部分易混淆用语辨析

1.何谓"rest room"?
某校的"教师休息室"被译为"Teachers’ Rest Room",一家"开心休闲屋"被译为"Happy Rest Room"。但"rest room"指的是"a public lavatory; cloakroom,公用盥洗室,衣帽间"。翻译这类型的场所可虑"lounge"、"lobby"、"vestibule"或"foyer"。据说那所学校一个新来的外教有一天火急火燎地冲进去,结果可以想象;如此想当然的字面翻译真是令人尴尬。

2.是"wineshop"还是"restaurant"?
一些"酒家"被译为"Wineshop"。在英文里,"wineshop"指的是"a cafe or tavern that specializes in serving wine",专指供人喝酒、小憩之处,而中国人所说酒馆、酒楼、酒肆或酒家其实就是饭店、餐馆,英文都应是"restaurant"。

3.是"high school"还是"middle school"?
大多数有高中的"中学"被译为"middle school",此词实际只指初中和高一的阶段,"a school between elementary school and high school."。有高中的中学应译为"high school",用"middle school"其实是把自己将格了。

4.何来"purchase center"?
某"购物中心"英译为"???PURCHASE CENTER",这是不规范的自创表达法。笔者查询牛津、剑桥、韦氏和朗文工具书都查不出"purchase center" 这样的词条,也咨询了英美人士和留学海外的学子,却都认为没有此说法。英语有"shopping center",但所指购物场所很大,而且常在市郊;而该"购物中心"一则占地与规模都很小,二则地处市中心附近,因而也不宜这么翻,充其量就是"department store"(百货商店)。

5."corporation"是什么?
某"国际机场集团公司"被译为"International Airport Group Corporation"。"corporation"指"Groups of persons authorized to act as an individual,eg,for Business purposes",实际上该词本身有总公司的意味,因而"group"是多余的,有些总公司就是用这个词来表示。查一些影响较大的词典都没有发现"group corporation",但有"group company"之说。

6."square","plaza"分别指什么广场?
"square"意为"four-sided open area,eg,in a town,used as a garden or for recreation,or one enclosed by streets and buildings","buildings and street surroundings","blocks of buildings bounded by four streets; distance along one side of such a block",所能指的广场大概相当于"天安门广场"、"五一广场"之类。现在新出现的众多的冠以"广场"名称的商业性质的写字楼群应该用"plaza",意为"a complex of stores, banks and movie theatres, etc"。目前我国广场,如"国贸广场","财经广场",大都源于该词。

7."store"、"shop"规模有多大?
"store"是一个卖东西的地方,"shops selling many varieties of goods""shop"意思相近,指"building or part of a building where goods are shown and sold retail",规模并不大。目前,这两个词被滥用了,结果往往是把自己降格了,不能表达许多商业场所本身所具有的规模。多功能的商场,比如带有娱乐场所或银行分点的,宜用"plaza"或"mall",后者指"a large retail complex containing stores and restaurants in adjacent buildings, or in a single large building"。当然,"store"在国外也有用来指很大的商店,有的建筑面积达二十几万平方米,服务员上班时穿溜冰鞋工作,但此时所用的是合成词"hyperstore",目前我们国内能冠以该词的店铺可能还非常少,

8.是"city area"还是 "downtown area"?
路牌"市区"被英译为"City Area"。中文所说的"市区"指的是人口和房屋建筑比较集中的闹市区,而"city"指的是整个城市,既包括了闹市区,也包括了郊区。闹市区在国外称"Downtown Area"或"Downtown District"。

9.“出差”是on business还是on evection?
一个学生把“我的朋友去北京出差了。”译成 “My friend went to Beijing on evection.”。查《英汉大词典》evection果然解释为“出差”,但仔细看,这是一个天文学词汇,是指“由于太阳的吸引而在月球轨道上引起的摄动”。我想这位学生大概是背诵GRE词汇时,只记中文解释,而不理解其真正意思造成的。其实,这句话只要译成; “My friend went to Beijing on business.”就行了。此“出差”非彼“出差”,做翻译查词典,千万不可粗心大意,有时最好要看看其原文解释。

24条经典哲理性语句

      1.记住该记住的,忘记该忘记的。改变能改变的,接受不能改变的
  Remember what should be remembered, and forget what should be forgotten.Alter what is changeable, and accept what is mutable.

  Complaints are the greatest offerings that God obtains from human beings, as well as the most faithful prayers human beings might utter to God.

英语聊天室“泡妞”秘籍

 
第一法 人称“玉树临风”的周奔驰  
 不可否认我长得很丑(自取网名)
  进入英语聊天室的第一步是为自己起个“酷毙”的网名。“不可否认我长得很丑,可是我很温柔,而且永远不会说谎。”——周奔驰自知自己的英语“很丑”,于是没敢象在中文聊天室一样起个“周润发的微笑”、“风靡万千少女”、“西门不吹雪”、“心比刀快”那样的名字,而是起了“我是英语乞丐”、“不惹你烦”、“谦虚小朋友”这样的“中文网名”(中文网名更容易吸引“晶晶姑娘”的眼球)。此后就象“可口可乐”商标一样,固定地将“我是英语乞丐”作为商标品牌。——以便大赚特赚和他聊过天的美眉的“回头率”。
“普遍撒网,守株待兔”(和谁聊天)
  第一次上英文聊天室,周奔驰满以为凭着自己“酷毙”的网名就会“风靡万千少女”,没想到枯等了8分零8秒,还是没人哪只“兔子”主动撞上门来,于是以“大无畏”精神主动出击、普遍撒网,先后给网名是“晶晶”、“紫霞”、“曼玉”、“不辣妹”、“rose”、“sweet girl”六位看上去象是美眉(概率:73.2984%)的聊友发去“情真真意切切”的“第一句”(参见下页)。好了,剩下的就是“守株待兔”了。

这只是一句玩笑,别介意。我是一位博士生。
5. In fact I am a Doctor of Tea. Haha~~~~~
实际上我只是一个“茶博士”。哈哈 
 
第五法 “轻舞飞扬”:干啥的

泡妞英语

MM是要靠“哄”的,喜欢听一些甜言蜜语(sweat talk),所以,你要下功夫练就一张honey mouth,来赞美对方:
1) What a knock-out!哇!绝代美人。

2) She's well-built.她身材真棒。

3) She's well stacked,她的身材很匀称。

4) She has a good figure.她有骄人的身材。

5) She's a chick.她可是个MM喔。

6) She's curvaceous.她的身材曲线玲珑。

7) My girl is a peach.我的马子可是个美人。

8) She must really be sth special.她必定某个地方很特殊。

9) She doesn't look her age.她看起来没有实际年龄大。

10)She looks neat and fresh.她看起来很优雅清纯。

11)She's a carbon copy of her mother.她和她妈简直一模一样。

(to be continued)怎样,找机会练练吧!关键是告诉她你觉得她与众不同的地方(whatmakes her stand out from others),接下来,你就可以锻炼口语的名义,
表示希望能有机会多聊聊(a chance to get to know each others).要知道好的开端,
事情就成功了一半(well began is half done).^_^幸福三步曲:

假设:漂亮MM一般英语水平都不是很好(好像功课也是如此)^-^前提:你自己的英文水平初具火候。

1)吸引MM跟你学地道英语的兴趣

2)然后告诉她万丈高楼平地起,咱们从最基本的学起。

3)最基本的自然是自我介绍了,然后以教她如何用英语作自我介绍为名,
很自然地“套取”她的家庭背景,个人情况等等。注意,这时你要装作特单纯、特有爱心,让她觉得这世界确实需要热心肠,而你就是那跟最大的肠!
千万不要让她怀疑你“醉翁之意不在酒”(hehehe~~,这招比较损)接下来就不用我多说了吧,
万事只是开头难,你都已经“知己知彼”了,还能不百战不殆?

Well, it's kidding.The best way is to love her with your heart,not with your
mouth. What's more, just keep in your mind:1) Love me,love my dog.2) Love me
little, love me long.

OK,让我们继续为消灭“孤男寡女”而努力学习吧:

1)This picutre is not like her.这照片不像她。

2) She's very photogenic.她很上镜。

3) She's well-groomed.她穿着得体。

4) She could pass for 24 or 25.她可能超过24或25岁。

5) She gets herself dolled up like a teenage girl.她把自己打扮得象个十几岁的少女。

6) She's kind of short, but she has a beautiful personality.她是有点矮,可是她有很好的个性。

7) She's in her Sunday clothes today.她穿了她最好的衣服。

8) She wears too much make-up.她妆化得很浓。
