基本常識英語怎么說 基本常識英語( 五 )


第一個故事發生在秘魯,一位美國婦女在餐館里用餐 。她問服務員: Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands? 服務員把她帶到洗手間,可不巧,正有一些工人在粉刷洗手間的墻壁 。
工人們一看有人要用洗手間,就準備離開 。服務員攔住他們,說: That's Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands. 在英語里,wash my hands實際上是上廁所的委婉說法 。
那個服務員按照字面意思理解,結果鬧了笑話 。還有一次,一個留學生在國外的學校第一天上學,心里又興奮又緊張 。
一個美國人見到一張新面孔,為了表示友好,就問: Hi! What's the good word? 留學生一聽到這個,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! 他猶豫再三,想,反正我也不知道,就問問他好了 。于是他吞吞吐吐地問: Hello. What's the good word? 老美聽了,很隨意地說: Oh, not much. 這下,這個留學生就更吃驚了! 原來,What's the good word? 在美語里,是一句問候語,意思是“你還好嗎?”但問話的人并不指望你把遇到的高興的事情都一一告訴他,只是打個招呼而已 。
但這個留學生以為對方真的在問什么是Good word,所以鬧了笑話,不過還好,也算給他歪打正著了 。下面的故事就更有意思了 。
一次,一個美國公司的管理人員給公司一個駐外分部發了一份傳真,要求對方把職員 。
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people's health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities. To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today. In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves. 保護環境 目前環保還存在著許多問題 。
最嚴重的問題就是空氣、水和土壤的嚴重污染 。污染的空氣對人類的健康十分有害 。
污染的水引起疼病,造成死亡 。更有甚者,隨著現代社會的迅速擴建,植被大大的減少 。
為了保護環境,各國政府做了大量的工作 。采用了立法措施控制大氣污染,保護森林資源和海洋資源,制止任何環境污染 。
因此,在當今的環保中政府起著最重要的作用 。我的看法是,為了保護環境,政府應當采取更具體的措施 。
首先,應當通過教育的方法使人們充分謒到環境保護的重要性 。第二,應更加努力把計劃生育政策付諸實施,因為人口多就意味著污染嚴重 。
最后,要嚴懲那些故意破壞環境者 。使他們破壞環境就是毀滅人類自己 。
=====================================================================英語常識:English words are strings of letters together, so we had some different characteristics of Chinese written characters. Here's some examples of the little knowledge about the English words to increase the recitation of interest.1, the number of English words: For the exact number is difficult to calculate. However, linguists generally believed that the number of English words, if you do not include specific words, names, place names, etc., about 170,000 or so. However, there are about 70,000 words of which are already or about to be eliminated, so less volume is 10 million.2, consecutive letters: English word, the word generally refers to the inherent (non-derived synthetic), the same letters do not have three consecutive occurrences, but if we add before the suffix to the word or compound word formed to difficult to determine. Such as the governess (Nvzong Du) into governessship (Nvzong Du duties), there have been three consecutive scenes of the same letter was.3, simultaneous five vowels: the English alphabet in a, e, i, o, u five vowels, but this five-letter words which appear in the same time is very rare, but it did. If the order according to their inherent appear in the same word, it is less. abstemious (moderate) is one. If you do not by their inherent order, they are consecutive words are: Rousseauian (Rousseau), Rousseau was a great French thinkers.4, the longest word: the word should be to play the longest, it is not fixed. Some professional and technical aspects of the word, sometimes up to dozens of letters, only the knowledge of experts in the industry. The words used in the longest peacetime is antidisestablishmentarianism (endorsed state support for the church), the 28 letters.5, usually we see the long point of the letter words often repeated, as there are repeated examination in a, i, n. the inherent word, longest word without repeating letters is uncopyrightable (can not get copyright protection ), a total of fifteen letters.6, the majority of English sentences are repeated letters, and can not contain all the 26 letters. The following sentence contains the 26 letters are The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. (A quick, brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.) This sentence contains 26 letters is the shortest sentence in it? Before this sentence appears in the following may be: Brick quiz whangs a jumpy veldt fox. (Tests on bricks stumped a South African grassland fox jumps).7, the Chinese have palindromic phenomenon, then in English as well? Look at a word: It is said that there is a criminal, said: "Because I live in upside down (live), so the result of sin (evil). To live upside down to become evil, is sent province. English sentence the。
