【English in a Minute一分钟英语】08-Squeeze Blood out of Turnip 已有6人参与
|
|
Sometimes, American English does not make any sense. Like if someone says this: You can't squeeze blood out of turnip. Vegetables don't have any blood in them...And who is squeezing turnips? Let's see if we can figure out what it means... A: Hey, Can you loan me $50.00, I can pay you back on Friday. B: I wish I could help, but I don't have any money.... A: Are you sure? I really need it. B: I understand, but you can't squeeze blood out of turnip. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip means you cannot get something from a person that they don't have to give you. And it's used about money. You see, it actually makes sense, because no matter how hard you squeeze a turnip, it will never bleed, and if somebody does not have any money to give you, you'll never be able to get it. And that's English in a Minute.[ 来自小组 食品科学 ] |

Certainly not,this is a program from VOA English Learning. Most importantly, recite some useful words and phrases as much as you can, and try to make sentences with them; Then I recommend you to watch some American moives or TV series , and imitate the pronunciation of the actor's lines; Keeping a diary may also help improve your writing skills. In a word, practice makes perfect. [ Last edited by 阿飞1990乖乖 on 2013-11-26 at 19:35 ] |
