第二篇：趣味英语
1.大家都知道，如果路边的小屋上写有w.c.的字样，那大概就是一个可以方便的地方。请问w.c.的完整英语形式是怎样的？
a.washing roomb.washing casec.water closetd.water caster
2.许多同学都有自己的电子邮箱，如 chqdjy@163.com 等。请问其中的@表示什么意思，该怎么读？
a.@ 的意思是“电脑”，读作“a 外一个圈”。
b.@ 的意思是“邮箱”，读作“圈内一个 a”。
c.@ 的意思是“为”，读音与介词for相同。
d.@ 的意思是“在”，读音与介词 at 相同。
3.你给一个手机关机的人打电话，你在电话中听到的英语是：
a.sorry，the phone you waited is powered off.b.sorry，the person you dialed is powering off.c.sorry，the subscriber you dialed is powered off.d.sorry，the subscriber you liked is powering off.4.2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是 _______.a.one world，one dream
b.new beijing，great olympics
c.great china welcome you
d.faster，higher，stronger
5.许多商品的商标上都标有英语字母“tm”或一个带圈的大写字母r，你知道它们是什么意思吗？
a.tm 表示注册商标，带圈的r表示准注册商标
b.tm 是商标符号，r 是商标注册符号
c.tm 是进口商品的商标符号，r 是国内商品的商标符号
d.tm 表示驰名商品的商标，r 表示非驰名商品的商标
「答案与解析」
1.答案选c.即w.c.是由water closet的首字母缩略而来的。它主要用于英国英语，指有抽水设备的厕所，但在美国，人们几乎不用它。英语中表示“厕所”的其他表达还有：toilets，ladies‘ room，men’s room，comfort station，public convenience，restroom，lavatory，washroom 等。
2.答案选d.@ 在此相当于英语中的介词at，意为“在”，故读作“[at]”，如 chqdjy@163.com 的意思就是“位于在163.com 网站上的一个名叫 chqdjy 的邮箱”。
3.答案选c.subscriber的意思是“用户”，dial 用作动词的意思是“拨（电话号码）”，power off 是个短语动词，本意为“切断动力”，这里指“关机”。句中的 you dialed 是定语从句，用以修饰其前的先行词 the subscriber.顺便说一句，假若你拨打一个正在通话的手机，你在电话中听到的英语将是：sorry，the subscriber you dialed is busy now.please redial later.4.答案选a.2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是one world，one dream.选项b（new beijing，great olympics）是北京申办奥运会的口号，其意为“新北京，新奥运”；而选项c（faster，higher，stronger）则是奥林匹克格言。
5.答案选b.即tm 是商标符号，是英文trade mark（商标）的简写；r 是商标注册符号，取的是英文registration（注册）的首字母。tm作为商标符号它只表示该商标已经向商标局登记（申请注册），并不表示商标局已核准注册，另外，有些商标持有者要想声明自己是某商标的拥有者，也可在商标上标明tm，还有的商标上标注的tm可能只是想表示它是商标，而不是商品名称。但是，r则不同，它作为商标注册符号，它不仅表示已经向商标局登记，而且表示商标局已核准注册。换个角度说，标有tm的商标还不受法律保护，而标有r的商标则受法律保护。

以往迷信的人可以在家躲过每个13号的周五，但剩下362天难道也在家宅过去吗？
Why is 13 considered unlucky, anyway?
那么为什么13会被认为是不吉利的数字呢？

最后的晚餐有13个人
It's said that Judas Iscariot and the one who betrayed Jesusthe death of a bunch of gods, a slew of natural disasters, and the eradication of everything on earth save for two human survivors.There's a lot more to the story than that, but you get the general idea。
洛基杀了其中一个神引发了一系列事件，最终导致世界毁灭：众神的死亡、自然灾害和地球上一切的消亡(仅幸存2名人类)。这个故事远没有这么简单，但你能差不多明白个大概。
Traditionally, there used to be 13 steps leading up the gallows。传统中通往绞刑台有13个阶梯。
There's also a legend that a hangman's noose traditionally contained 13 turns, but it's actually more like eight。
还有传说称刽子手的纹索上有13个曲纹，但实际上似乎是8个
猫有好几个爱称,譬如puss和kitty.Puss是来自荷兰语(Dutch)和德国南部(Low German)的方言,是模仿猫的呼噜声(imitative of the spitting noise of a cat)的拟声词.到16世纪时puss才成了猫的爱称.pussycat值得是”非常讨人喜欢的人”(a very amiable, likable person)
kitty来自中世纪的荷兰语(medieval Dutch),意思是“罐，容器”（jug or vessel）。
猫猫的万种风情
1． fat cat 肥猫，指“为竞选出钱的富翁；享有特权或谋取特权的人；有钱有势的人，大亨。”
2． cool cat 酷猫，指“时髦人（尤指嗜好冷爵士乐的人）；嗜好摇滚乐的人；做出孤傲冷漠的样子的人”。
3． hepcat 迷恋爵士乐的猫，指“爵士（或摇摆舞）音乐迷；爵士（或摇摆舞）乐队乐师。
4． copy cat 好模仿的猫，指“盲目的模仿者（通常为儿童之间的用语）”。
5． hell cat 好发脾气的猫，指“泼妇，巫婆”。关于hell cat 是巫婆的说法要追溯到中世纪，那是迷信的人认为魔鬼撒旦（Satan，the Devil）常以黑猫的样子出现。巫婆抱着一只黑猫，骑着一把扫帚，在夜空游荡。所以，黑猫象征着“厄运”。“不要让黑猫从你面前走过”Don't let a black cat across your path是西方人众所周知的禁忌。
6． the scaredy-cat/ fraidy-cat 恐惧的猫，指“胆小鬼”。
莎士比亚在哈姆雷特里有一句台词：
Let Hercules himself do what he may, The cat will mew and dog will have his day.你知道是什么意思吗？
莎士比亚这句话的意思是说: 该发生的必然会发生，一切应顺其自然”(让大力士做他想做的，猫会叫狗也会笑。)
另外还有一个习语put the cat among the pigeons 这又是什么意思呢？ 猫是食肉动物，不仅爱吃老鼠，还爱吃鱼，鸟之类的小生物，把猫放进鸽子群里无异于把狼关进羊群，势必要造成鸽子的极大恐慌。所以，put the cat among the pigeons 表示“惹出乱子，引起轩然大波”。
最后附上一首小诗，《雾》，你知道它和猫有什么关系吗？
Fog
The fog comes
on little feet
It sits looking
Over harbor and city
On silent haunches
And then moves on.—— Carl Sandburg
第三篇：趣味英语相声
趣味英语语法 第一讲
英语的词类 : 旁白:马季先生有个相声,叫做五官争功,不知你听说过没有,说的是眼睛鼻子嘴巴耳朵头 都认为自己最重要。现在英语的词类也展开了一场类似的争论:名词、副词、代词、形容词 等各抒己长,究竟他们谁的作用最重要,还需要大家评判。
一、名词
我们是名词,是一切物体的名称。例如:football track tiger television boy 等就是名 词,任何句子中都少不了名词,你说我们是不是最重要。
二、动词
我们特别好动,所以大家都管我们叫动词。例如:jump run play water 等一切反映某种 动作的词就是我们,其实我们才是最重要的,没有我们,谁知道你在干什么。
三、形容词
名词和动词太自以为是了, 知道我们的作用吗?没有我们日月不光, 一切物体都会黯然失色, 知道我们是谁吗?我们就是大名鼎鼎的形容词,事实胜于雄辩,请看:a beautiful girl,a kind mother,a fierce tiger.能够感觉出我们的重要了吗?美丽的,慈祥的,凶猛的,这就是我们形 容词。
四、副词
谁说动词最重要,没有我们,谁承认你们跳得高、跑得快、练得辛苦。就算你们动词是绿叶 吧,我们副词才是红花,看看我们的本领:jump high,run fast,train hard。你说哪一个动词不 需要我们画龙点睛?关键可是点睛啊, 我们的作用不仅仅是点睛, 有时全句都得靠我们烘托。
五、代词
言外之意就是为我们代替别的词。比如:she 代替 mother、sister,girlfriend 等等的所有表示单 个女性的名词, 我们代词不但可以代替所有的名词, 数词, 有时候还能冷不丁地代替个短语 或句型呢!别门缝里看人,我们可是最最最重要的替身呢!没有我们的替代,谁还喜欢你们 的啰嗦。I you he she they this these those that his her等等,这就是我们代词,你看看,没有 我们, 你们表达这些事情是不是有点不方便:小鹏的妈妈在一家医院工作, 小鹏的妈妈是一 名医生,小鹏的妈妈工作非常努力!哈哈哈,真啰嗦。把划线的地方换成我们的代词,他, 是不是既清楚又简洁。
六、介词
我们是英语中最活跃的词, 几乎所有的句子都得请我们登场, 按照现在最流行的说法, 我们 的出镜率最高。我们特别善于团结其他的兄弟姐妹, 常和名词代词一起构成介词短语, 用以 表示时间地点条件方式等。看看下面的短语,知道谁是介词吗? on the table,under the bed,at 等,我们厉害吧,没有我们人们无法组成完整 的英语句子,我们就是无处不在的介词。
英语中共有十种词类,我们今天认识了名词,动词,形容词,副词,代词,介词。另外四种 数、连、叹、冠,此处不作介绍
作业:阅读相关部分语法材料并完成练习。
