妙詞佳句，活學活用
1. the abs are fab（the abs are fabulous）and it's gluteus to the maximums
這里的abs指的是胃部的肌肉，Gluteus maximums
指的是臀大肌。但是這句話不可直譯成"胃部的肌肉真的是太棒了！臀大肌到了最大。"這會造成一個天大的笑話。因為在美國，若要參加一些重要的盛大的晚會或者是晚宴，經常會聽到主持人講這樣的俏皮話來增添現場的輕松氣氛。那么此句的意思是什么呢？ “今晚大家不僅可以敞開肚皮盡情的享受美食，而且還可以舞到天亮。”
2. everyone who's
anyone 這是非常地道的一種用法，意思是"非常重要的人"。除此之外，美國人還會用一些其它的表達方式來代替everyone who's
anyone，比如VIP= very important person，who is who，anyone who's
anyone！那么中國名流，就可以是：anyone who's anyone in china。
4. What the heck...? 可能大家在看電影的時候經常會聽到What the hell...？或者是What on
earth...?其實這三句話在日常生活中是可以互相替換著來用的，意思是究竟……? 到底……? 比如你究竟在干嘛？就可以是：What the heck are
you doing?
5. Can I get a whoop,
whoop? 當人們達到一種極度亢奮狀態的時候，經常會說的一句話。如果大家經常看一些娛樂節目或者演唱會，體會會更深一些！比如我們經常聽到歌手對觀眾大聲說："讓我聽到你們的聲音好不好！"如果用英文表達的話就是"can
I get a whoop，whoop？"
This classic folktale is from the Grimm's Fairy Tales . In this
story of treachery and abandonment, times were hard and food was
scarce when Hansel and Gretel were deserted in a dark forest by their
wicked stepmother and poor father. While trying to find their way home, the
children encountered a witch who wanted to eat them, but Gretel's quick thinking
foiled her plan.
2. Miss Muffet's curd and whey:
Little Miss Mufet
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, Eating her curds and
whey, Along came a spider and sat down beside her, And frightened Miss
Muffet away.
One of the most popular nursery rhymes in the United States, and now it's
been taken as an activity to teach children manners at home. Here's
how they say "Little Miss Muffet" and learn our manners:
Little Miss Muffet Sat on a turfet Eating her cottage cheese There
came a great spider Who sat on beside her And said: "May I have a bite
please!"
