idiom

dog1、Let sleeping dogs lie. （Don"t wake a sleeping dog. ）莫惹是非。2、He died like a dog. （He died a dog"s death.）他死得很惨。3、He led a dog"s life. 他过着贫困的生活。4、This country is going to the dogs. 这个国家要垮台了。cat1、A cat may look at a king. ［谚］猫也可以看国王。（指小人物也应该有些权利）2、There is nothing for it but to wait and see how the cat jumps. 眼前只有静待，看看事情如何转变。3、Has the cat got your tongue? 你为什么不吭声？（猫把你的舌头叼去了吗？）1 英语中的Cat译句：He is one of the literary fat cats. 错译：他简直是只大肥猫。也许是加菲猫动画片的流行会一些人译出这样的句子来，“大肥猫”是什么形象？其实fat cat是很早就有的一个俚语，意思是“有权有势的人”、“大亨”，所以原句的意思是：他是文学界的显赫人物。 英语中关于cat的习语很多，但是比作人时，一般给人的联想都不太好，也许是因为cat常和巫婆在一起，迷信认为遇到black cat是不吉利的征兆。说一个人(as) sick as a cat是说该人“病得厉害”，尤其指“恶心想吐”；一个(as) weak as a cat的人“身体非常虚弱”；cat in the pan则是“叛徒”。 英语中常用cat指恶意伤人、包藏祸心的女人，把脾气很坏的老太婆称之为old cat。由cat加上后缀的catty指“爱搬弄是非的人”，而cattish的意思是“狡猾的”。表示反对或嘲笑的嘘声被称为cat call。　　 英语文化中认为猫有九命（A cat has nine lives），生命力特别强；谚语A cat may look at a king的意思是“地位再低微的人也有自己的权利”。有些习语很形象，如：like a cat on hot bricks类似于汉语的“热锅上的蚂蚁”；let the cat out of the bag是“露出马脚”。　　 猫和老鼠的关系几乎所有文化都类似。英语中的When the cat"s away the mice will play.很有点“山中无老虎，猴子称大王”之意。动词短语play cat and mouse with someone是像猫抓住老鼠时不马上吃掉，而是捉住又放掉，然后又捉住那样折腾玩弄。至于英语习语中体现的猫和豿的关系也好理解，一般不会和睦相处，live a cat and dog life是“整天吵架不和”。　　 大家都知道It rains cats and dogs.是“大雨倾盆”的意思，但是这一说法的来源至今仍有不同意见，一说源自古代斯堪的那维亚神话：雨中巫婆骑着猫通过，而雨神乘的是一条豿。还有一个说法：古代街道排水设施太差，一下大雨，许多猫和豿都被淹死，雨水流走后，街上满是猫和豿的尸体。第三个说法是该成语来自希腊文的catadupe，意为“瀑布”，下瓢泼大雨时犹如瀑布，后来慢慢演变成了rain cats and dogs。

Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.Last week, I explained some English expressions about clothes. Everything I told you was true. I did not talk through my hat or say something without knowing the facts.Everyone knows there are many English expressions about clothes. There is no need to keep it a secret, orkeep it under your hat. In fact, if I keep talking, soon enough you will start to think I am an old hat about this -- a real expert. Do not be fooled, though. My friends sometimes call me a wolf in sheepu2019s clothing. This is someone who acts like a good person, but is really a bad person.Iu2019m not really a bad person. But I do love clothes. It is always fun to get dressed up. I look great in my best clothes. When I put them on, I feel decked out. You might say when I wear my best clothes, I am dressed to the nines or dressed to the teeth. In fact, my husband says I look dressed to kill. Of course, I would never kill anyone. But, there is something special about putting on clothes that are pleasing to the eye.My best clothes are not modern or fashionable. Maybe someday they will come into fashion. But I really do not care. They certainly look better on me than mybirthday suit. Did you know that everyone has a birthday suit? You wear it when you are wearing no clothes at all. Babies are born wearing their birthday suits.I am very careful with my clothes. I handle them with kid gloves. I try not to get them dirty or torn. Most of my clothes fit like a glove. They fit perfectly. But when I eat too much, I feel like my clothes might burst at the seams. My clothes feel too restrictive and tight.Some of the clothes I like best are hand-me-downs. My older sister gave them to me when she no longer wanted them. Hand-me-downs are great because clothes often cost too much money. I live on a shoestring. I have a very small budget and little money to spend on clothes. However, my sister has a lot of money to spend on clothes. Maybe someday the shoe will be on the other foot. The opposite will be true. I will have a lot of money to buy clothes and my sister will get hand-me-downs from me.I admit I dream of being rich. I dream that someday I will be able to live like a rich person. I will know what it is like to walk in another personu2019s shoes. Some of my friends got rich by riding someone elseu2019s coat tails. They are successful today as a result of someone else being successful. But, I believe you should never criticize others for something you would do yourself. What is said about someone else can also be said about you. Remember, if the shoe fits, wear it.

idiom--习语,一般是短语proverb--格言,书面语,有寓意的句子saying--说法,包括idiom, proverb在类,用的最广

这句话的结构是:Our first idiom ( that is heard ) is on the grapevine.小括号是个定语从句。暂时拿掉这个定语从句后，余下的部分应该是一个完整的句子。所以将heard 后面的it 改为is 就可以了。

Greasy spoon Greasy是油腻的意思, spoon是指调羹,也就是汤勺。Greasy和spoon这两个字合在一起就是指那些有点像夫妻老婆店那样的小饭馆。这些小饭馆一般来说菜谱上花色品种并不多,碗筷也好像不那么干净,装潢也不讲究,但是菜的味道倒不错,价钱也很公道。 Ex1: Honey, let me take you out to dinner. But you know I don"t feel like dressing up to go some place fancy. How about just going down the street to the greasy spoon and getting hamburgers? (丈夫：亲爱的,让我带你去外面吃晚饭吧。不过,我实在不想穿得必恭必敬的去那些大饭馆。咱们就上街那头那个小饭馆去吃汉堡包怎么样?) Ex2: Mike, you ought to try the potstickers at that little Chinese joint on New York Avenue. It looks like a greasy spoon but the potstickers are great and the price is cheap. (麦克,你得上纽约大街那个中国小饭馆去尝尝他们的锅贴。那饭馆看起来不像样,可是他们的锅贴味道真好,价钱又便宜。)Potluck Pot的意思是锅子, luck是运气。可是,我们现在讲的 potluck 是一个字。 Potluck 作为一个字,它指的是美国一种经常举行的聚会形式。也就是在某一个人,或几个人的提议下举行一个午餐会或晚餐会,但是参加聚会的每个人都要带一个菜或者带一种饭后甜食。主人除了为聚会提供场地外,也只要准备一个菜,或买一些饮料就行了。这就叫作: Potluck lunch or potluck supper.可以想象,举行Potluck的时候,大家能够尝到许多不同的食品。可是,要是你运气不好,好几个人带的东西你都不爱吃的话,那你就只好回家去那个greasy spoon吃点儿什么了。 Ex1: I"ve been so busy lately. Last week I went to a greasy spoon with a friend and this Sunday I"ve got to go a potluck. (我最近可忙了。上个周末我和一个朋友去一家小饭馆吃饭,这个星期天我得做一个菜去参加一个聚会。) Potluck还有另外一个意思。那就是:有什么就要什么。用在吃的方面就成了:有什么吃什么的意思。 Ex2: Say, Charley, if you don"t have plans for tonight, why don"t you come out to our house and have a potluck with us? Helen won"t have time to cook anything special, but she can put an extra plate on the table for you. (喂，查理，你要是晚上没事就上我家来吃便饭。有什么吃什么。我太太不一 定有什么时间做什么菜，但是多加一份筷子是绝对没有问题的。)

Idiom是俗语，很长时间形成的语言现象。Common saying是大家都这么说的说法。

colloquialism 和idiom区别是词义有不同具体词义如下:colloquialism 英[kəˈləʊkwiəlɪzəm] 美[kəˈloʊkwiəlɪzəm] n. 俗话，白话，口语 idiom n. 习语，成语; 方言，土语; （语言） 风格; 惯用语法;

idiom，习语，相当于汉语的成语，也就是一些固定搭配。比如 shut up! 闭嘴！slang俚语，也就是一些非通用语言，只有一些特定人群或某一地区的人群使用，相当于汉语的“土话”。例如，军队上的人说收到，明白时时，用roger一词。再比如，人用cop代指policeman（cop 是copper的缩写，值得是警徽）， 用cab代替taxi。prover。 谚语，比如：Money talks.

成语：It"s never too late to mend. （过而能改，善莫大焉；亡羊补牢，犹未晚也。） If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing well. （如果事情值得做，就值得做好。） The tongue is boneless but it breaks bones. （舌无骨却能折断骨。） If you want knowledge, you must toil for it.要想求知，就得吃苦。 It is better to die when life is a disgrace.宁为玉碎，不为瓦全。 It is easier to get money than to keep it.挣钱容易攒钱难。 It is easy to be wise after the event.事后诸葛亮好当。 It is easy to open a shop but hard to keep it always open.创业容易守业难。 It is hard to please all.众口难调。 It is never too old to learn.活到老，学到老。 It is no use crying over spilt milk.覆水难收。 It is the first step that costs troublesome.万事开头难。 It is the unforeseen that always happens.天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福。 It is too late to grieve when the chance is past.坐失良机，后悔已迟。 It never rains but it pours.不鸣则已，一鸣惊人。 It takes three generations to make a gentleman.十年树木，百年树人。

idiom 是可数单词 an idiom 没错 例： an idiom two idioms 形容词： idiomatic 但 idiom 的意思不是 俚语 而是 习语,成语 俚语 英语是 slang 或 slang expression . slang 不可数 一句俚语 a slang expression, 或 a slang 两句俚语 two slang expressions, 有 two slangs 的说法,但不常规.

idiom: 成语,惯用语A manner of speaking, usage or vocabulary that is natural to native speakers of a language.

IDIOM 就是我们常说的俚语的意思。 牛津字典里面有比较多解释，你可以去参考一下的。Let the cat out of the bag" is an idiom meaning to tell a secret by mistake.

如果你想了解互联网的未来，可以上Google的地图网站上去看一看。乍看上去，它似乎跟同类的其他网站没有太大区别。不过，你一旦输入了某个地址，这个网站马上带你进入一个城市，穿越一条又一条街道，而在此过程中你会发觉事情非常美妙。首先，你不会见到沙漏图标。网页会无缝地一下子转换到新的一页，你的电脑在等待下载更多数据时，屏幕不会出现任何间断。这种功能已经帮助创建了Google Earth网站。这个网站收集了全球各地的卫星图片，是去年点击率最高的网站之一。这些网站能够把信息平滑顺畅地下载到用户的电脑，因此大受欢迎，而美国许多其他行业的从业者有鉴于此，正纷纷利用它们来帮助拓展业务。在美国，如果你打算寻找一个新公寓，你可以在Housingmaps.com网站上输入你的目标街区的名字。然后，转眼间你会看到一个鸟瞰图，上边标了一些虚拟图钉，每个图钉代表一个待售或待租的房地产。如果你想知道这个目标地区的治安是否良好，可以进入mapsexoffender.com网站查看。这个网站会把Google的美国地图信息与各地区的犯罪记录集合起来，然后在地图上标出每一个有案底坏蛋的住址。 诸如此类的平滑滚屏互联网应用之所以能够实现，全靠一种叫Ajax的技术，Ajax其实是一组电脑程序，这些程序互相配合，能使网站无缝地运作，好像电脑程序在个人电脑中运行那样。尽管这种创新的技术在Google地图网站上最容易见到，它可不是Google专有的。在过去的几个月，Ajax已经成为一股推动力，催生了一系列基于互联网的新服务，包括免费文字处理程序Writely，电子数据表制作网站NumSum，以及人们用于编制日程和工作时间表的网站Voo2do。这些使用Ajax技术的网站的出现，已经促使人们开始重新思考互联网和个人电脑之间的关系。事实上，Ajax也许会导致许多基于个人电脑应用的软件应用遭到淘汰，进而导致电脑业中很多领域出现翻天覆地的变化。 几十年来，科技专家一直相信，数据和电脑软件迟早会从桌面转移到互联网。宽带互联网连接日益普及的同时，电脑将会越来越小巧轻便。将来电脑会摒弃笨重的硬盘，并且成为进入互联网和互联网服务器的主入口，让互联网服务器来承担大部分原本由文字处理，电子数据表制作等程序负责的工作，以及存储数据。今天互联网已经使一部分的预测得以实现，然而他还是存在着一些缺点，其中之一就是连接不稳定。当个人电脑等待服务器一点一滴地下载数据时，互联网连接不稳定的情况常会出现。与其说Ajax解决了这一问题，到不如说它把问题掩盖了。Ajax会在互联网服务器和个人电脑之间充当缓冲器，巧妙地令服务非常顺畅，让人以为没有中断。Google Earth网站，即使你的个人电脑还在下载那些更高分辨率图片的中途，你仍然能够滚动屏幕上的鸟瞰图。事实证明，这种细微的区别足以令网上冲浪者的心理改变。Ajax并不能提高数据下载的速度，可是能使等待的过程变得不那么令人沮丧。 到目前为止，基于互联网的应用程序仍然很少，对那些基于个人电脑的软件仍未构成威胁。然而，由于预期电脑软件将会从桌面转移到互联网，微软的管理层已开始感到忧虑。长期以来，微软一直几乎垄断整个桌面软件市场，因此它很迟才看到这一变化来临。Adaptice Path咨询公司的创办人加勒特说：“2001年的反垄断官司之后，主要的竞争对手Netscape消失之后，这几年来，微软好像有点不知所措。”在一份于去年10月被泄露的微软内部备忘录中，微软的首席技术官奥齐也承认了这一点。他在该备忘录中说：“我们公司在网络方面拥有雄厚资源，理应早就可以在开发Ajax的潜力上领先。” Ajax的冒起令微软感到特别尴尬，因为Ajax中的一些关键技术其实是微软在1997年发明的，可是该公司后来把它们搁置了。不过话得说回来，当时并没有任何人看到Ajax的潜力。Ajax并不是单一的发明物；它由一批电脑程序组成，而这些程序是分别在多个不同的公众领域研发出来的。大约1年前，一些独立软件开发商发现，如果将这些程序结合起来，它们能产生一些很有用的功能。软件公司Oddpost的创办人及编程师戴蒙德通过使用Ajax技术，使基于互联网的电邮程序变得和在桌面上运行几乎没有两样。他说：“1999年的时候，在家里时我使用(微软的)Outlook Express，出门在外时则使用Yahoo电邮系统。我在家里时不使用Yahoo，是因为它的界面比不上Outlook Express。但是我们确信，通过使用Ajax技术，我们能够制造出可以媲美Outlook Express的界面。”2004年，Yahoo收购了Okkpost，如今戴蒙德正在研发一种以Ajax为基础的Yahoo电邮系统。他说：“目前每一家电邮公司都在努力研发使用Ajax的应用程序。” 广受欢迎的图片共享网站Flickr已经采用了Ajax技术，让用户可以及时为他们的照片加入标题和说明、及时把照片放进自己的收藏影集，或者连续地观看照片，Flickr的创办人兼CEO巴特菲尔德说：“我相信，如果没有了Ajax，Flickr不可能像今天这么受欢迎。”Ajax使他的网站变得“更快、更酷、更有直觉力”。 Ajax并非仅仅能够模拟一个桌面系统。他还使网站能够从不同的来源收集信息，然后把信息无缝地呈现在浏览者眼前。Housingmaps.com从Craiglist网站收集待售房屋的地址，然后把这些资料与Google的地图结合起来。News&Bible网站(say4.com)能根据新闻中的关键字词，找出相配的圣经章节。Dealmine.com则从许多来源收集商店的折扣优惠信息。 没有人会认为Ajax从能把桌面软件完全淘汰。现有的浏览器还没有一个能像PhotoShop或Final Cut等桌面程序那样处理复杂的图像或者视频。不过，将来桌面程序可能越来越专注于一些需要强大计算能力去处理的特殊人物。微软有一些主要产品(例如Word、Excel等)很有可能会遇到竞争，受到其他公司的Ajax版同类型产品挑战。面对这种前景，微软的对策是也把Ajax纳入它的产品中。该公司平台策略组的小组经理奥布赖恩说：“既然我们的秘密已经被泄露，而Ajax也正在从一种只有从研发者感兴趣的早期技术渐渐演变成为能够引起一般用户的好奇心，现在我们的任务……就是设法让这种技术能够被尽可能多的用户使用。”他又说，奥齐的备忘录可以说是晨钟暮鼓。如今微软已经推出了一种基于Ajax的绘制地图应用程序，命名为Windows Live Local。微软还正在研发一种基于暂时以Atlas为代号的产品，该公司称，这种新产品将使基于Ajax的编程工作更容易。该公司还在研发Ajax版的Office，一旦研发成功，Word和Excel程序将不再是独立的产品，而是服务。 然而，Ajax之战的第一仗显然只可能在Google和Yahoo等巨头之间发生。加勒特说：“Google已经炮制出了一种美味菜肴。他们利用这些技术，为用户创造更多姿多彩，更平滑流畅的浏览体验。”微软，轮到你出招了！(本文取材自newsweek)

raining cats and dogs雨下得很大

今天咱们来聊聊“idioms习语”在雅思口语中的重要性。话说在前面，这是基于我用课堂内外的实际经历和经验的一些感受，如果你有不同意见，欢迎给我留言，跟我讨论。在讨论开始之前，咱们先说一下idiom是啥。 那么咱们可以看到，习语是由一个以上的单词组合而成，这些单词在这个组合里面的意思区别于它们单独的意思。常见的习语，举个例子：I"ve been feeling it in my bones that he"s gonna tell us something. 我一直有种预感他要跟我们说点儿什么。 （这里没有提到bone的原意，骨头） 大家觉得说话的时候偶尔冒出这样的习语是不是很酷呢？ 偶尔为之，真的很有意思。 但是一直这么说话，真的很没有意思。 不信吗？昨天上课正好大家讨论到词汇分析，老师一语道破了一件事——英语习语在日常英语对话中 并不常见 。虽然老师并没有详细解释不常见的原因，但是基于我自己的经验，我觉得大概有这么几个：首先，习语一般都是一群词语的集合，一般都比单个词语要长；而在口头表达的时候的一般原则都是 简明扼要 ，因为既要考虑到说话者和听者的瞬时记忆，要是说着或者听着后面的忘了前面的，多少有些尴尬。所以啊，如果能用一个或者少量具体的词汇去表达清楚意思，就没有必要用习语了；或者也可以这么理解，习语只是 锦上添花 ，让表达出的语言具有多样化和生动性——这不是必需品，甚至有很多时候，这根本就不需要。 其次，习语一般都和文化相关。对于外语学习者而言，外语所承载的文化往往比外语本身更有挑战性，有些文化差异真的会“毁三观”。所以如果因为对文化的误解或者对文化差异的不敏感而导致言语上的误会，倒不如直截了当地表达心中所想。 比如，在中文中我们总说“忙成狗”，但是在英文中你要是说as busy as a dog，就会导致理解不畅了，因为在英文中的固定说法是as busy as a bee（虽然我真的好喜欢有个大牛把as busy as a bee翻译成“忙成SB”，但是在课堂上作为老师我还是要watch my languageU0001f639U0001f639U0001f639） 第三，就算在同一个文化中，我觉得教育背景相似的人用习语交流会比教育背景不相似的人交流起来要畅通一些，因为有些习语的文化要素是“阳春白雪”，有些习语则听起来像是“下里巴人”。 举个例子，比如今年的美国总统大选，剩下这俩候选人都会用到习语，但是希拉里明显用的就是“阳春白雪”类的，一张嘴就感觉是“精英”；而川普虽然也受过高等教育，却坚持用小学的词汇和句式，加上小学生都能听懂的习语，让他好像和广大没有受过高等教育不会也不愿“咬文嚼字”的选民们站在一起。从这个角度去看，不难理解俩候选人的辩论听起来纯粹就是吵架甚至人身攻击，原因之一是所用的习语不在同一个层次上。 好啦，咱们说回雅思口语。我看过很多同行写的教材，书的内容都会提及“习语”，且在上课的时候会跟学生们强调习语在口语考试中的重要性。然而基于自己的考试和交流经验，我觉得习语并没有那么重要。 英国人自己都承认在对话中习语不常见，而口语考试中对话占很大比重。反复分析完评分标准，其实就是 “你说的英语跟考官（也就是native speaker)说的英语听起来越相似，你的分数就越高” ，也就是说 “自然交流” 是最重要的。如果native speaker都不常用习语，那么你总是用习语是不是听起来不够自然了呢？那考官听起来别扭的英语怎么会得高分呢？ 不过有人会来challenge我，说，考试毕竟还是和日常交流有区别的，且也有过雅思考官说过用对了习语会是加分项。关于这点，我的理解是： 首先我也认为考试和日常交流有区别，所以我只是说习语没有很多人一直强调得那么重要，并不是不重要。重要程度不同，请不要误解。然后习语在对话中的出现是 “自然的”，是“锦上添花” ，所以当你需要 润色 自己已经表达得足够清楚的观点时，习语肯定是加分项；但是如果是不能表达清楚，不管是常用词汇用法不熟还是常用语法不扎实，习语只会让对话偏离既定轨道—— 在考试时，惊喜对考生而言并不是个好消息。 最后要说明一下，我看了雅思口语评分标准，也就是IELTS speaking band descriptors, 在band-8的级别才提到了idiomatic vocabulary，然而首先idiomatic vocabulary/language不只包含idioms，还有collocation（collocation的部分下次再分析），其次需要口语8分的学校和工作简直少之又少。不过还是很感谢当年我的口语组组长的严格要求，我口语拿到了8分，讲出来都觉得脸上很有光U0001f638U0001f638U0001f638 下面附上评分标准的截图，大家先自己看，有问题或者不同意见，欢迎跟我讨论。好了，关于“习语”的在雅思口语考试中的重要性，我已经阐述完毕。总结一下：习语是语言中很有研究价值的一部分，因为它们和文化紧密相关，从中可以学习到这门语言承载的文化的一些特点； 然而习语在日常交流中并不常见，因为很容易产生误解，作为外语学习者，因为外语文化和自己的文化的差异，误解来得比较容易，而且哪怕是说母语的时候，因为教育背景等因素也会造成误解； 口语考试中，最重要的是清楚表达自己的观点，语言的多样性是为了帮助自己表达自己的观点，不自然地使用习语，会影响观点的表达 至于怎样清楚表达观点，功夫还是要下在平常。我在课堂上推荐的音频视频资料和一些练习方法，都是我自己这么多年尝试并养成的习惯。多模仿native speaker，从内容到语气——学习语言的时候，很多时候就是鹦鹉学舌，比葫芦画瓢。 我明白这篇文章也许会让你对雅思口语有些新的认识，积极或者消极都可能。如果你真的能用英语表达清楚自己的观点，那么雅思口语考试真的不难，等你开始参与课堂讨论，就会发现雅思口语考试只是真正的挑战的前奏；而如果你还是寄希望于背诵模板，过度地不自然地使用英语交流中并不是那么常用的词汇习语和句式，那么雅思口语考试会一直很难，走进课堂之后更是难上加难。开口说一门语言，最直接的方法是模仿它被母语者说的方式和内容。 还有，既然在学习母语时，多数人是那么讨厌背诵，更喜欢做自然的口头交流，为什么在学习语的时候，反而迷上了背诵呢？
