2.Are you running with the hare and hunting with the hounds? You‟re either for us or against us.Which is it? 你两面讨好吗？你要么赞成我们，要么反对我们。究竟是哪一种态度？ Hare也叫jackrabbit或jack rabbit，不打洞（burrow/warren），而是在地面坑（depression）里或窝（form）。出生带毛（furred），眼睛睁开。Rabbit是住在洞里的，出生没毛，不能睁眼；家养的通常住在小木屋（hutch）中。Hare比rabbit体型大，耳朵更长，有黑色斑点（marking），不群居，没有被人类驯化（domesticated），所以可以叫„野兔‟。一岁以下的hare叫leveret。一群叫drove。Rabbit可以翻译为„家兔‟，但有的也叫hare，因为长相接近，但实际上还是rabbit，如Belgian Hare.“兔”在中国人心中可谓形象复杂，有好的一面，如“形如脱兔”（比喻动作快捷）；也有差的一面，如“狡兔三窟、兔子尾巴长不了”。对外国人来说，rabbit的形象可不美。a rabbit意为a person who plays a game badly（蹩脚的运动员———尤指网球运动员）；在俚语中，hare指坐车不买票的人。run with the hare and hunt with the hounds

hunt是“追捕、猎杀”的意思，hound指“猎狗”，它的拼写是h-o-u-n-d，字面意思就是“和兔子一起奔跑的同时派猎狗追赶”，既想得到兔子的信任又想猎杀兔子，也就是“两面讨好”。

这个“两面讨好”和我们汉语里讲的“两面派”（two-faced）意思可不一样，我们来看一个例子：

They want to keep the peace and have everyone happy.For this reason they learn very quickly to run with the hares and hunt with the hounds;to side with whoever is nearest in a relentless quest to avoid rows.他们希望保持平稳并且让大家都高兴，所以很快了学会讨好的方法。为了避免冲突他们就站在不断提要求的人那边。

大家体会出这两个说法的不同了吗？two-faced一般指当面一套，背地又一套的伎俩，而run with the hare and hunt with the hounds 则指人两面讨好，不得罪任何一方的做法。

3.In ancient times if a man‟s eye was put out by his enemy, he might get his revenge by paying him backing his own coin.古时候某人的眼睛若被敌人挖出，他一定要挖出敌人的眼睛作为报复。这就是以其人之道还治其人之身。pay sb back in his own coin eye for eye tooth for tooth

4.He went on throwing open doors, and peeping in.Everything was in apple pie order, ready for immediate occupation.他继续将各扇门打开朝里窥视：一切井井有条，马上就可住进去。in apple pie order 有条不紊，井然有序

这个习语的由来尚有争论。在美国，有人认为它产生在新大陆移民时期。那时，家庭主妇要烤苹果派时，需将苹果一片片切成同样的大小，这样烘烤出来的苹果派才会香酥可口。所以这个习语用来形容东西摆放得整整齐齐，井然有序。

Her room is always in apple pie order.他的房间总是整整齐齐的。apple of love 爱情的苹果

这个习语源于殖民时期的南美洲。当时在秘鲁的丛林中，生长着一种叫“狼桃”的水果。这种水果色泽光亮、鲜艳，形状和苹果十分相似。但人们认为这种水果是一种毒果，没人敢吃，只把它作为观赏植物加以栽培。后来有人冒着生命危险，勇敢地品尝并证实了它的美味。到了16世纪，英国有一位公爵游历到了秘鲁，非常喜欢这种水果，于是，他把它们带回英国皇宫，作为珍贵的礼品献给他心目中的爱人——当时的英国女王伊丽莎白。这种水果，实际上就是西红柿。从那以后，西红柿在异国他乡的土地上得到广泛种植，被人们称为“爱情的苹果”。如今，这一短语可喻指“爱情的信物”。例：Hey, don't touch that bike.It's my apple of love.嗨，别动那辆自行车。它可是我的爱情信物 as American as apple pie 典型的美国人的性格 美国人向来喜欢吃苹果馅饼（apple pie），也就是我们常说的“苹果派”。这是一种用烤箱制作的甜点，外面裹着一层面粉，里面包着苹果做的馅儿。美国人喜爱吃苹果派的嗜好始于他们刚从欧洲移居到美洲来的时候。那时每个家庭主妇都经常自己动手做苹果派。为了说明苹果派是美国生活方式的一个特点，人们常说：as American as apple pie。这个习语的意思是：就像苹果派一样具有美国特色。

例句：Japanese sushi and Vietnamese spring rolls have become as American as apple pie.日本寿司和越南春卷都已经变成像苹果派一样的美国食品了

5.“Why didn't the chap come? …Can't kick my heels here for ever,“ thought John.那家伙怎么没来？我可不能老在这儿等下去了。”约翰想

kick your heels：(British)to be forced to wait for a period of time(usually in continuous tenses)Wait impatiently to be summoned.Origin：The kicking of heels alludes to the toe shuffling and foot tapping that people resort to when they are impatient at having to wait for something.It is an 18th century phrase and is first cited in a work by the appropriately named Samuel Foothe has no idea of how to even start the job.Why, my nine-year old daughter knows more about computers than he does!他说：我跟你说，Ed，这个人简直乳臭未干，他甚至连这工作怎么着手干都不知道。嘿，我九岁女儿对电脑的了解都比他要多。

这里的wet behind the ears，相当于中文里的“乳臭未干的，” 用来形容某人幼稚无知 3.在那个国家，很多人感到60年代初的种族隔离是件棘手之事。

In that country, many people found racial segregation a hot potato in the early '60s.美国人很喜欢吃土豆，特别是刚从烤箱里拿出来的一个个热气腾腾的土豆。下面我们要介绍的一个俗语是hot potato。大家都知道hot的意思是热或烫，potato就是土豆。热的土豆固然好吃，但是它会烫你的手，你会想法马上甩掉的。Hot potato作为俗语，它的意思就是一个争论很激烈的问题，没有一个人愿意为它承担责任。例如：The question of whether to raise taxes to cut the budget deficit is a real hot potato for a lot of politicians.是否用增加税收的方法来减少预算赤字的问题对于许多政客来说是一个棘手的问题。下面这个例子是一位律师在给另一位律师提供建议：

If I were you, I'd drop that client like a hot potato;he's always suing somebody for something, but he usually loses and he doesn't pay his lawyer's bills.要是我是你的话，我就把你那个顾客马上甩掉。他老是为了什么事去告别人，可是他总是输给别人，他还往往不付律师费。

英语potato一词特别有意思。不仅因为sweet potato（甜土豆）即是“白薯（山芋）”，这样的命名特别有趣，而且potato常可用以指人，例如small potatoes原意是“鸡毛蒜皮等微不足道的东西”，但更多用以指“小人物”“微不足道的人”（类似上海方言“萝卜头”）。“He is a small potato.”也常被学生作为口头禅，拿来互相取笑。

Hot potato可指“麻烦的事”、“棘手的问题”或“难对付的人”，类似中文 “烫手的山芋”，例如The subject of police brutality is a hot potato.（警察暴行的话题是一个棘手的问题。）

短语the clean potato指“最正确、最适当的事物”，也可以指“正派的人”、“规矩的好人”。而反过来，not the clean potato则意为“形迹可疑的人”。

作为一种常见的食品，potato在美国俚语里也有很多体现。比如，potato常指“头”或“难看的脸”；potato-trap指“嘴”；potato-head则指“傻瓜”（土豆是没有脑子的）；而potato digger则指“古板守旧、不受欢迎的人”（大概是由在地里掘土豆的农民形象转化而来的）。

上世纪90年代初出现了一个新的短语couch potato，专指“吃饱饭后成天窝在沙发上看电视的人”，非常形象。（顺便提一下，英美人很少用sofa一词，长沙发叫couch，单人沙发则叫armchair。）随着电脑的普及，近来一个与potato有关的新短语流行开来，即mouse potato（这里的mouse不是“老鼠”，而是“鼠标”），专门指“整天坐在电脑前的电脑迷”。这一词条已被正式收录在2006年版的《韦氏大学词典》（Webster Collegiate Dictionary）的100个新词语中。笔者相信，今后还会有更多“新土豆”的出现。

4.他同意独自完成这项工程，简直是蛇吞象。

He bit off more than he could chew when he agreed to finish this project alone He bit off more than he could chew.他说得多，做得少。

他承诺太多他办不到的事情。用意译：“思想的巨人，行动的矮子！”

5.我只是告诉你，和他打交道的惟一方法就是与他面对面展开斗争。

I simply wanted to tell you that the only way to do business with him was to beard the lion in his den.beard the lion in his den：入虎穴取子(老虎头上捉虱, 太岁头上动土)

6.对于诗我读得不多。要读的时候，我总是宁可选择过去的佳作，而不要当代的次品。.Of poetry I don't read much and when I do I choose the dead lion in preference to the living dog.A living dog is better than a dead lion．(下贱而活着比高贵而死了的强。)将对应的两个成分拆开并在句中重作安排，分别喻指“过去的佳作”(死狮)和“当代的次品”(活狗)，形成强烈对比，表现力强。

7.现在最好不要向老板讲，因为你没有遵守限期，他正在气头上哪。

Better not try to talk to the boss now, He's as mad as a wet hen because you didn't meet your deadline.as mad as a wet hen:非常生气

8.有些人在上火车的时候，不等乘客下车就一拥而入，这种行为真叫我生气。

It gets me goat the way some people push onto a train before the passengers on board can get off When someone says the phrase “something or other really gets my goat,” they mean that they are extremely irritated.A wide variety of things could contribute to irritation, ranging from someone else's actions to a series of events, but, despite the turn of phrase, goats are not usually involved.Like many colorful idioms in the English language, the origins of “get my goat” are murky, difficult to pin down, and actually rather fascinating, for people who enjoy exploring language.9.我们公司规定的试用阶段，目的在于区分能够胜任工作和不能胜任工作的人。

The purpose of our company^ trial employment period is to separate the wheat(the sheep)from the chaff(the goats).separate the sheep from the goats(British, American & Australian)also sort(out)the sheep from the goats(British & Australian)

to choose the people or things of high quality from a group of mixed quality I'll look through the application forms and separate the sheep from the goats.10.他是个胆小鬼，他不可能临危不惧于关键时刻。

He is a chicken and it is impossible for him to face the music at the critical moment.11.这不是任何人的错误，责任完全在我们自己身上。我们不自量力，结果把自己搞得完蛋了

It was nobody's fault but our own.We cooked our own goose by trying to bite off more than we could chew.Cook one’s goose: ruin your chances;make impossible to succeed Explanation: Used when speaking about a person or thing that makes success impossible.Examples: Well, I cooked my goose by asking the wrong questions on the interview.-You'd better be careful when speaking to her, you don't want to cook your goose by saying something insensitive.12.她对家谱很感兴趣。所谓自己无学问，莫把祖宗夸；我认为对一个人的评价源于其本身所为，而非其祖先。She's showed great interest in genealogy [,dʒi:ni'ælədʒi](family tree).But mules boast much that their ancestors were horses;I think a person's value derives from what he does, not from what one of his ancestors might have been 13.与过去相比，小康之家逐渐多了起来。

Compared with the past, there is an increasing number of well-to-do families.Say something about the origins of the following.Adam’s profession Adam's profession此语源自莎士比亚：《哈姆雷特》第五场，译为“园艺，农艺”。Shakespeare 在第五场中写道：There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave makers ；they hold up Adam's profession.这里没有古代绅士，只有花匠、挖沟者和修墓人；他们干的是园艺。measure for measure measure for measure.此语可译为“一报还一报；冤报冤；仇报仇；以牙还牙”。源自《圣经■马太福音》。耶稣说：“你们不要评判人，免得你们被人评 判。因为你们怎样评判人，也必然会被人怎样评判。你们用什么量器量别人，别人就必然会用什么量器来量你们。” enough to make the angles weep enough to make the angels weep.此语可译为“愚逸得使人丧失信心和希望”。源自莎士比亚剧本《一报还一报》（Measure for Measure)第2幕第2场 once in a blue moon once in a blue moon.此语的中译为“极为罕见，（机会）极少”。源于自 然科学现象。即在一定的条件下，当大气中有大小合适的微尘时，就会出现太阳和月亮均呈深蓝色的自然奇观。据科学家们分析，此种罕见景观的微尘可能 来自火山爆发，或沙漠扬尘，甚至森林大火。由于蓝色月亮和蓝色太阳出现的 机会少，所以此语具有上述译文

以小人之心，度君子之腹 “以小人之心，度君子之腹,‟可译为gauge the heart of a gentleman with one's own mean measure t 或译为 try to estimate what's in the heart of the great with the heart of the mean,语出《左传•昭公二十八年》“愿以小人之腹，为君子之 心。”后经改造，用来指某些人以自己鄙陋或卑劣的心理，去推测品德髙尚者的 胸襟。南朝宋刘义庆《世说新语•雅量》：“庚曰：„可谓以小人之虑，度君子之心。此成语涉及这样一则故事：公元前514年，晋国的执政大臣韩宣子去世，一位名叫魏舒的人继位。他将两个旧责族的田地分为10个县，派贤能有功者 去任县长。其中与他同宗的魏戊被派到梗阳县任该职。此时，有一桩官司使其 深感棘手，他即报之魏舒，让其处理。

对是，涉案一方暗中送魏舒一个女乐人，他欲将其收下。此事让魏戊知道 了，他就对大臣阎没和女宽说：“魏舒以不受贿赂而扬名各国，若收下女乐人，就没有比这更大的贿赂了。您二位一定要劝谏他。”

之后，阎没和女宽在庭院里等着魏舒的到来。吃饭的时候，魏舒就招呼他 俩一起来用餐，可他俩盯着桌上的饭菜接连叹了三次气。饭毕，魏舒就问其究 竟，并说伯父、叔父曾告诉他说，吃饭时要忘掉忧愁，刚才二位为何三次叹气呀？他们俩回答说“昨晚有人把酒赐给咱们两个小人，所以没吃晚饭，现在肚子 饿得慌，惟恐刚上的饭菜不够吃而叹气。见菜上了一半时，咱们责备6己道：„难道将军请咱们吃饭会不够吃？‟因而再次叹气。等饭菜上完，咱们俩愿意把小人的肚子当做君子的心，刚刚满足就行了！” 嫁祸于人

“嫁祸于人”可译为：①shift the blame onto ②lay one's own fault at sb else‟s door ③put one's misfortunes onto other people's shoulder.语出《史记•赵世 家》，对曰：“夫秦蚕食韩氏地，中绝不会相通，固自以为坐而受上党之地也。韩氏所以不人秦者，欲嫁其祸于赵也。”这则故事说的是：公元前262年，韩囯 上党守将冯亭派使者到赵国，便对孝成王说：“咱韩国已无法守住上党了，它似 就要并人秦国了。但上党的官吏与百姓均愿归属赵国，而不愿归属秦国。上党 有城池17座，希望大王来管辖”。赵孝成王闻之喜形于色，即召见平阳君赵豹并询问其看法。赵豹答曰： “圣人视无缘无故而得到为大祸害。” 孝成王反问道“天下人为我的恩德所感召，为何说此乃无缘无故而得 利呢？”

赵豹道：“秦国一直在蚕食韩国的土地，并早已认为轻易地得到上党这块 地方。韩国之所以不想把上党交给秦国而交给赵国，是打箅把祸害转到我们赵国身上。秦国付出了辛苦，却未得到它，而咱赵国却白白得到了，这怎能说非 无缘无故得了利呢？大干一定不要接受。” 孝成王不悦地说：“如今派百万大军去进攻，一年半载也不一定能得到一 座城池，现在人家送来17座城池之大礼于我，这可是大利呀！”后来孝成王因接受了这份礼物而引发了秦赵间的一场大战。

Superstar and I It’s common that many students are crazy about those singers and actors.However, liyundi, a pianist, is the superstar in my heart.He is a man of few words and he even looks like the greatest pianist—Chopin.When listening to his music , I can get rid of everything noisy around.What’s more, I can feel his strong love for music.Rome wasn’t built in one day.He achieved the great success through huge effort.I can learn from him that we should never give up to realize our dreams.Superstar and I Her name first appeared as a joke then like a wonder.She is Susan Boyle, the superstar in my heart.Although she’s not beautiful, her voice and spirit moved all the audience, including me.The song ’I dreamed a dream’ that she sang touched everyone’s heart who had a dream and wanted to realize it.She taught me how to go on my dreams as well as never to give up.She is like a sunshine that gives me hope.Where there is a will, there is a way.初中被动语态练习题

有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。其实“写”的形式很多，不一定就写作文才提高写作能力。比如写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作能力，比如学“wish”一词时，可写一小段如下：

The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different.I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.口语是需要技巧的。光靠大胆自信还不够。关键是系统的方法。我是英语专业毕业的，英语八级，现在当翻译，在大学时去英语角，上课发言等都不管用，一度非常苦恼。后来发现口语练习需要系统的方法。建议你按照我的方法做。

买个口语软件，口语宝或者右脑王都不错。

1语音阶段，照软件的内容练，一天俩小时，最多一个月，语音可以过关。无论你的基础怎么样。切记一定要仔细认真模仿纠正模仿在模仿。

2篇章阶段，根据软件上的资料，句子，语音，语调，断句，停顿，高低，节奏，长短等等，越细越好，模仿，对比，模仿，纠正，再模仿。不求量只求质。同样一个月，明显可以提高。3电影阶段，看英语电影。每句话听五遍以上，看看能听懂几个单词。在看汉语五遍，看看能听懂几个词组，再看英语五遍以上。然后倒过来从英语字幕到汉语字幕到无字幕，五遍以上。冰河世纪这部影片够你看两个月，五分钟的影片可以看两小时以上。4与人交流。现在开始舍弃软件，自信大胆的与中国人，别管对错，把自己想说的说出来。与老外更好。记住耐心模仿，细心比较，持之以恒，反反复复，1,2个月以后你的口语一定很棒。

你是外企的白领要经常的说英语哦，这个很正常的哦，如果你要学英语口语的话，那么对如何学习英语口语我有一些经验了。我建议你可以跟我一样报个电话英语培训啊。现在的电话英语还很很好了，电话英语，只通过声音传递内容上课，所以要求学生要有更高的注意力，因此对提高听力有很大的帮助，同时在听他人说话的同时，自己也要开口说话，这种学习方式被认为是锻炼听力和口语的最佳方法，还有，电话英语最大的优势就是将上课内容全程录音可以供课后复习。而且时间安排可以在你的工作空余时间来学习英语口语哦，如何学习英语口语的必备条件—语言环境。口语是交流、是听和说。学习任何一种语言，首先要听懂，然后才学说话。口语不可以自学。学习英语口语必须进入英文语言环境。每天听的都是英文，也必须讲英文。中国学生为什么不会讲英文？因为中国的英文老师大部分不讲英文，用中文上英文课。学生在英文课上不讲英文，大部分还是讲中文。1 如何学好英语口语--学习英文口语最好是英文母语老师—即外教。英文为母语的老师，从小生活在英文的环境里。知道各种生活场景、生活内容的英文用语，并且他们的发音纯正，只有他们才可以教好口语。就像外国人要学中文，一定要请中国的老师。所有这里我向你推荐恩京电话英语培训学校，真是不错的，外教通过电话一对一教授日常口语，商务口语，雅思口语.面试英语，外贸口语,青少年英语等，每天回到家，晚上可以学10-20分钟，而且时间，外教都可以任选，均有指定教材，外教都是很有经验的老师，报名后每位学员在网站上都有专属学习地盘，每晚上课时外教会就你的问题当时提出纠正，上课后会在学员的学习地盘中留下当晚学习的详细评语和学员的进步情况分析，及第二天晚上上课讨论的建议。最重要的是，网站上有学员每晚学习的录音，学员可下载收听对照自己的学习；费用也特别实惠，我一个普通打工族就可以接受。随时随地和外教说英语，不错！2 学习英文还必须了解英文为主的西方文化。学习口语必须知道在什么场合，说什么话？怎么样说话是有礼貌的？什么是外国人忌讳的？就如同中文，从小父母就会教我们在什么场合要说你好、对不起。看见老人、叔叔、阿姨应当怎样称呼？在客人面前该问什么问题？不该说什么话？等等。因为我们的言语得体可以给别人留下良好的印象，不至于造成误会。3 学习口语必须大量地听说练习。我们从小中文是怎么学会的？是每天起床后就不断地听不断地说。每天至少12个小时在中文听说语言环境里。其他语言的学习也是同样的道理。不断地听，不断地说，随时纠正。学生只要在与外国人或学生之间讲英文，就是在学习。

我有啊，奉献给你一些啦，快快学习吧：

Do you have some time tomorrow? 明天有空吧? Yes, I do.有啊。

How about having lunch with me? 一起吃顿中饭怎样？ Good idea.好主意。

If you're free, how about lunch? 有空的话一起吃顿中饭如何？ When did you have in mind? 你想什么时候呢？ I was thinking about Thursday? 我看星期四怎样？ That will be fine with me.没问题。

I'm calling to see if you would like to have lunch tomorrow.我打电话给你，是想知道明天一起吃顿中饭怎样？ I'm sorry, but this week isn't very convenient for me.对不起，这个星期我都不方便。Perhaps we van make it later.那么，也许改天吧。That would be better.好啊。

I'm calling to confirm our luncheon appointment.我打电话来，是想确定一下我们约好吃饭的事。

It's tomorrow at twelve o'clock, right? 是明天12点吧？ Yes, that's right.是的，没错。I'll be there.我会去的。

I'm sorry, but I have to cancel out luncheon appointment.真抱歉，不过我不得不取消我们午餐的约会。I'm sorry to hear that.真遗憾。

I have pressing business to attend to.我有紧急的事情要处理。

No problem.we'll make it later in the month.没关系，这个月改天再说吧。

一、多“说”。

自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。

或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。

如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。
