英语爱情的单词(英译英Aprilshowers)

用英语“懂”英语:April showers bring May flowers 四月雨五月花

中世纪,四月的欧洲和英国,阴冷潮湿多雨,是个让人烦躁,让人讨厌的季节。当年的欧洲大陆和英国人还因为四月的“黑死病瘟疫”(The Plague),可以连续几个月不洗澡,迷信说瘟疫可以通过洗澡水传染。(In medieval England and Europe, misunderstandings about The Plague led people to avoid bathing. Yes, they could go months and months without a bath. (ouch, stinky). There was a fear it could be transferred via the bath water.)

然而,五月天气开始晴朗,又因四月充足雨水,阳光明媚,鲜花盛开。于是,英语就有了这句:April showers bring May flowers,四月雨五月花。

不过,中文类似的表达也很多:祸兮福所倚,福兮祸所依。笑到最后才是赢家。善于等待的是赢家。“剩者”为王。韬光养晦。塞翁失马焉知非福。吃得苦中苦方为人上人,等等。

不过,这句英语的完整表达却是:The entire saying goes something like this: “March winds and April showers bring May flowers and June bugs.

三月风,四月雨,五月处处开鲜花,六月臭虫满身爬。

很多人所谓的“学”英语,喜欢“用”中文“学”,“用”中文“理解”,美其名曰:“说”中文,“讲”得通透,“理解”也通透。

然而,这些所谓的英语学习者,只把“学”英语当消遣,当消磨时间,当“知识”看待,只“用”中文到无可厚非,反正又不是真正想想掌握英语,不过是“看过就忘”,只剩中文。

你若愿意用中文“学”英语,只当消遣,“老师”到时乐的投其所好,只给你“推”中文就是,看病永远“治标不治本”让你一辈子掏钱“求医”,“老师”

碗里的“米”永远源源不断,边吃还边“笑你蠢”,白白养活“老师”一家,你自己却“病根不断”。哈哈,“双赢”啊!

“互联网 ”时代,学并学好英语也就是勤动手,或者劳神动动手查查英英字典并努力用英语记住英语的事儿。可惜的是,很多人什么都愿意做用中文学用中文记,却偏偏不愿意做这最要紧的一件。所以多年英语,学了也白学。

不是努力去记下面的英语,而是治标不治本地“要求”:中文是什么?我们的英语还是不学为妙,算了吧?
