趣味英语故事----读典故学英语
PIE IN THE SKY 中国人常说“天上不会掉馅饼”,美国也有类似的说法--pie in the sky,形容不可能实现的事情。下次如果有人跟你说“如果我有500万的话......”,你就可以说,“forget it, it's a pie in the sky”。
此短语直译为『天国(上)的馅饼』,源自美国流行作曲家、世界产业工人联盟的组织者 Joe Hill 于 1911年所作的一首着名歌曲《传教士与奴隶》。他在歌中写道:
You will eat, bye and bye, In the glorious land above the sky!Work and pray, live on hay,You'll get PIE IN THE SKY when you die!这几句歌词是 Joe Hill 从美国救世军军歌中引用过来的,意在讽刺这个宗教组织,揭露其欺骗性和虚伪性,唤醒广大被压迫的奴隶。后来人们就用 pie in the sky 比喻『渺茫的希望』和『不能保证实现的允诺』等意思。
好,这次大家就翻译一下上面那两句歌词吧
-----------------不久你将在天上的圣地就餐。劳动吧!祈祷吧!靠干草过活吧!死后你就会得到天国的馅饼!

Rain cats and dogs。
可能你已经知道了rain cats and dogs 的含意为『下倾盆大雨』,但你知道这个短语是怎样衍生而来的吗?下雨就下雨,怎可能从天上掉下来猫和狗呢?下雨同猫及狗又是怎样扯上关系的呢?原来,据说这个短语最早出现于17世纪,不过关于它的起源已经无从考证。但是现在人们普遍认为,它的起源可能同17世纪使用的地下排水系统有关,当时人们使用的排水系统非常简陋,排水能力极其有限。一旦下起暴雨,地下排水沟里的污水便四处横流。随着污水流出来的不仅有垃圾,各种污秽物,有时甚至还有死猫死狗之类的小动物死尸随污水蔓延出来。如此狗和猫便与瓢泼大雨扯上了关系,人们也据此杜撰了 rain cats and dogs 这一短语。由此可以看出,rain cats and dogs 并不是指天上真的掉下猫和狗(要真是如此,还不让那些喜欢猫和狗的西方人笑歪了鼻子乐歪了嘴?),而是由于大雨引起地下排水不畅,结果阴沟里的死猫死狗便随污水漂浮到地面。
另外,也有人认为,这个短语可能起源于这样的事实:每当下起暴风雨,风大雨急,看上去就好像是猫和狗在打架。还有人认为它来自北欧神话传说,在北欧,人们都认为猫影响天气的变化,而狗则代表风,所以一旦下起暴雨,猫和狗自然脱不了干系(不过我们还是有点替阿猫阿狗们叫屈!不是吗?^-^)。
另外再列举一些与阿猫阿狗有关系的词组吧,比如:cat and dog production 指多规格生产,杂乱生产
(3)继续狗的话题
A DOG IN THE MANGER 因为文化传统的关系,狗在英语语言中都被当作忠实、可爱、聪敏的象征,因此与之有关的短语也大多为褒义之词,但 a dog in the manger 则属例外。从字面来看,A dog in the manger 是指『马厩里的狗』,大家可能觉得奇怪了,狗怎么跑到马厩里去了呢?要解释清楚这个短语的实际含义,还得追根溯源。
这个短语最早出现于《伊索预言》,故事的梗概是:一匹马和一条牛正在马厩里吃草。这时,一条狗闯进来了,它十分霸道地要马和牛都走开。马和牛十分温和地对它说:可是你是不吃草的呀!这条狗却蛮不讲理地说:我是不吃草,可是我不吃的东西也不能让你们白吃!这样,这条狗霸占了盛满稻草的马槽,却赶走了以草为生的马和牛。而它自己呢,也只能看着稻草而不能吃。
《美国韦氏大词典》将其解释为:The dog who would not allow a horse or ox to eat the hay in a manger, even though he himself did not want it.并且在这一基本意义的基础上又将该片语引申为:A person who selfishly withholds from others something that he himself can not use or does not need.讲到这里,大家可能已经想到了汉语中的一个俗语:『占着茅坑不拉屎』,两者在语意上倒也确实十分贴近。根据具体的语境,这个短语还可以理解为『自私自利的人』,『一毛不拔的人』等。例如:
Don't be such a dog in the manger.Lend your bicycle to him since you will not go out this afternoon.还记得上一期带有阿狗的其他谚语和习语吗,我来考察一下大家记住了没
If you want a pretence to whip a dog, say that he ate up the frying-pan.let sleeping dogs lie.Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings.1 别这么不够朋友。既然你今天下午不出去就把自行车借给他用一用。欲加之罪, 何患无辞 3 别多事, 别惹麻烦。4 急不暇择, 饥不择食。
