下面是读文网小编整理的英语押韵俚语与金融行话,以供大家学习参考。
如果一个英国人和你说:I put my tit for tat on my crust of bread and my daisy roots on my plates of meat and fell down the apples and pears because I was elephant's trunk. 你能理解他的意思吗?
他的实际意思是:I put my hat on my head and my boots on my feet and fell down the stairs because I was drunk.(我把帽子戴在头上,将靴子穿在脚上,因为喝醉了,从楼梯上摔了下来。)
在这里,他运用的是所谓的英语“押韵俚语”(Cockney Rhyming Slang)其中,tit for tat(原义为“针锋相对”)是 hat(帽子) 的押韵俚语,同样,crust of bread(面包片)代替 head(头),daisy roots(雏菊花根)代替 boots(靴子),plates of meat(肉盘)代替 feet(脚),apples and pears(苹果和梨)代替 stairs(楼梯),而 elephant's trunk(大象鼻子)则代替 drunk(喝醉了的)。
押韵俚语(Cockney Rhyming Slang)是英国伦敦下层社会中应用的非正式的口语(Cockney 意思为“伦敦佬”,是对伦敦社会下层人士的蔑称)。这种口语之所以称为押韵俚语,是因为他们用同正式语押韵的词来代替正式语。上面例子中的 tit for hat 就同 hat 押韵,同样,crust of bread 也同 head 押韵。
押韵俚语有一个特点,即代替一个正式词语要用含有两个或两个以上词(element)的词组。其它押韵俚语的例子还有不少。例如:
trouble and strife(原义为“麻烦和冲突”)代替 wife(妻子)
Brussels sprout(原义为“球芽甘蓝”)代替 scouts(童子军)
以上所说的都是完整的押韵俚语,但在实际运用中,伦敦佬们往往用它们的省略形式。值得一提的是,省略的押韵俚语中省略的部分不是其中的第一个词,而是第二个词,即用来押韵的那部分。因此,如果一个人说:My plates are killing me.其实际意义为 My plates of meat are killing me.即 My feet hurt. 同样 tit for tat 可以省略成为 tit,crust of bread 可省略成 crust 等等。这样,文章开头的那句话也可以说成:
I put my tit on my crust and my daisy on my plates and fell down the apples because I was elephant's.
以上为典型的英语押韵俚语。其实英语中有许多可以接受的非正式用法是由押韵俚语升级而来的, 而有时甚至说标准英语的人都不知道它们的来源。例如,英语中有 Use your loaf(动动脑筋)实际上就是由Use your loaf of bread 省略而来, 即 Use your head 的押韵俚语。其中 loaf of bread(面包条)是head(脑筋)的押韵俚语。
再如:英国人常说:We must get down to brass tacks.(我们必须讨论实际问题。)其中 brass tacks(黄铜平头钉)是 facts(事实)的押韵俚语,tacks 和facts 押韵。
又如:英语中有一个短语:take a butcher's,它其实是 take a butcher's hook(butcher's hook 原义为“屠夫的钩子”)的省略形式,即take a look(看一眼)的押韵俚语。
同样,英语中还有其它常见的词也出自押韵俚语,而这些词许多人不知其出处,似乎它们可以用于正式场合,而实际上它们却是英语中的“禁忌语” (taboo words)。例如:
Bristols 表示 breasts(“乳房”),来源于 Bristol City,是titty的押韵俚语,titty 是 breast 的禁忌语,复数:Bristols—titties.
cobblers 的意思是 testicles(“睾丸”),来源于cobblers' awls(鞋匠的锥子)是 balls 的押韵俚语,ball是 testicles 的禁忌语。
伦敦金融界行话(jargon)中有一种类似押韵俚语,也很有意思。这些行话比起一般的押韵俚语更晦涩难解。例如:
I asked him for a price of a Hawaii but he would only quote me in a lady.一句,局外人很难理解其真实含义。
其中,Hawaii 原义为“夏威夷”,但在这儿代表的是“fifty million”,而 a lady 却代表 five million.这句话的意思是:“我向他要价5,000万(英镑),而他却只出500万。”
在这儿,Hawaii 来自一个电视节目“Hawaii Five-O”,Five-O当然代表50 million;lady 是 Lady Godiva 的省略形式。(Lady Godiva 是著名的 Peeping Tom典故中的女主人公。)Lady Godiva 同fiver(five million)押韵。
英镑同美元的兑换比率称为 cable,来自于英美间的跨大西洋的电缆(cable), 因而英镑同美元的兑换比率在伦敦金融行话中也称为 Betty,来自于女演员Betty Grable,因为这个名字同 cable 押韵。
其它情况还有:
货币名称:
yen(日元)— Bill'n Ben
dollar(美元)— Oxford Scholar
guilder(荷兰盾)— boat builder
mark(德国马克)— smudge(smudge 的意思是a small mark)
数目:
one —a Spaniard (Juan)(Don Juan为西班牙一传奇人物)
a pair —Lionel (Blair) (一位舞蹈家)
three — carpet (flea)(地毯跳蚤)
four — Desmond (Tutu)(Desmond Tutu 为南非的大主教,用Tutu来表示four自然是因为Two twos are four)
five — a steep hill(来自于one-in-five 1 : 5的坡度)
eight— a garden (gate) 或 John Curry(John Curry是一位花样滑冰运动员,用它显然是因为 skate 的缘故)
ten — Cockle (and Hen)(公鸡和母鸡)
a score — a motor-bike(人们很难将 motor-bike 和20 联系起来,而其中的原因却是骑手双手握住车把手,给发动机加油门两次手指共用 20 个。)
a half — a laugh
seven-eighths— seven Henries(Henry 为 Henry VIII 之略)
three quarters— three farmers(farmers 为 farmers' daughters 之略)
在人类交往中, 俚语是一个十分难以理解的成分, 而押韵俚语,如果不知其来源,理解起来会更加困难,而一旦了解了,它们又变得如此趣味盎然。了解一些押韵俚语对于熟悉英国社会、文化、风俗习惯以及进行实际交际都会有很大的帮助。

摘要:英国人待人彬彬有礼,讲话十分客气,“谢谢”、“请”字不离口。对英国人讲话也要客气,不论他们是服务员还是司机,都要以礼相待
The English Character
To other Europeans, the best known quality of the British,
and in particular of the English, is “reserved”.
A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,
does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited.
It is difficult to get to know a reserved person:
he never tells you anything about himself,
and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives,
how many children he has, and what his interests are.
English people tend to be like that.
Closely related to English reserve is English modesty.
Within their hearts, the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else,
but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty.
Self-praise is felt to be impolite.
If a person is, let us say,
very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player,
he will seldom reply “Yes,”
because people will think him conceited.
He will probably give an answer like,
“I’m not bad,” or “I think I’m very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.”
Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships,
he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck.
Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature,
the typical English tends to expect them in others.
He secretly looks down on more excitable nations,
and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they are.
He doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings,
especially if they are expressed in flowery language.
He doesn’t trust self-praise of any kind.
This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally,
but to the letters they may write to him.
To those who are fond of flowery expressions,
the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.

摘要:玛丽莲·梦露那样的金发性感女郎曾是男人们的终极梦想;但根据一项最新调查,如今男士们更欣赏前卫的褐发美女。
Blonde bombshells like Marilyn Monroe used to beregarded as the ultimate fantasy but now,according to a new survey, men are opting for edgybrunettes instead.
Dating website Match.com has released a set offindings gathered from their members, begging thatage old question, what do men and women find mostattractive about each other?
玛丽莲·梦露那样的金发性感女郎曾是男人们的终极梦想;但根据一项最新调查,如今男士们更欣赏前卫的褐发美女。
交友网站Match.com发布了一系列调查结果,调查数据来自网站会员。该网站请他们回答了一个古老的问题,即对男性和女性而言,异性最吸引自己的特质分别是什么?
Instead of the stereotypical Scandinavian blonde look, men are now demonstrating apreference for long brown locks, although blue eyes are still top of their list.
男人们表示,他们喜欢的不再是传统的斯堪的纳维亚范儿的金发女郎的长相,而更偏爱拥有褐色长发的女性,虽然蓝眼睛仍是他们的最爱。
With caring qualities also top of the list, the survey revealed that a profession as a doctor ismost appealing among the male masses.
懂得照顾人也是男士们最看重的品质之一,调查还显示,在男性群体中,职业为医生的女性对他们最具吸引力。
Pairing brains with beauty, male members of the service said that their ideal woman also likes togo swimming to ensure her physique is toned and fit.
不仅要兼具智慧和美貌,Match.com的男性会员们表示,他们心目中的理想女性还要喜欢游泳,以保持体格健美。
And when she’s not busy playing with her stethoscope or splashing around in the pool thislady also makes time for her naughtier side, inking tattoos on concealed body parts.
不去医院上班、也不在泳池畅游时,她还会腾出时间展现自己顽皮的一面,在比较隐蔽的身体部位纹身。
According to this research celebrities like Sienna Miller, Cameron Diaz and Blake Lively are not inthe wishlist any more and instead Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie and Zooey Deschanel fit the bill.
根据这项调查,西耶娜·米勒(Sienna Miller)、卡梅隆·迪亚茨(Cameron Diaz)以及布莱克·莱弗利(Blake Lively )等明星已不在男人们的愿望清单上,而梅根·福克斯(Megan Fox)、安吉丽娜·茱莉(Angelina Jolie)以及佐伊·丹斯切尔(Zooey Deschanel)则满足了男人们的要求。
The verdict for men was equally surprising as women don’t want chiselled abs like Ryan Goslingor Ryan Reynolds, they’d rather see a relaxed dad bod under the car bonnet.
女性心目中的男神形象同样令人称奇,比起像瑞恩·高斯林(Ryan Gosling)或莱恩·雷诺斯(RyanReynolds)那样拥有轮廓鲜明的腹肌的男性,她们更愿意对方衣服下面是松弛的老爸身材。
Women too prefer brown hair and blue eyes, but men need to remember to keep it short.Longer locks like Johnny Depp, Jared Leto or Colin Farrell are a big no with the ladies.
女性也钟意拥有褐色头发和蓝眼睛的男性,但男性得记住,别让头发太长。像约翰尼·德普(Johnny Depp)与杰瑞德·莱托(Jared Leto)那样的长发男性完全不是女生的菜。
The survey didn’t however specify about the beard which, paired with a chunky knit cardigan,has become a popular look with celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, Kit Harington and JakeGyllenhaal.
克里斯·海姆斯沃斯(Chris Hemsworth)、基特·哈灵顿(Kit Harington)以及杰克·吉伦哈尔(JakeGyllenhaal)等明星最近大爱蓄须搭配厚实针织衫的造型,不过该调查并未具体说明女性喜不喜欢这种样子。
Women also expressed a preference for a suited and booted type, who works in an office andspends his free time with his dog. (Legend star Tom Hardy has got it right posing for pictureswith pooches).
女性们还表示,她们还喜欢衣着时尚得体、在办公室工作、业余时间会陪伴狗狗的男士。(出演《黑帮传奇》的明星汤姆·哈迪(Tom Hardy)跟小狗的合照正好迎合了上述心理。)

整天背英语单词,是不是很无聊呢,没关系,给大脑放松放松,来看看关于英国文化的趣闻吧。
趣谈英国:英国父母热衷起怪名 “大豆”“害羞”应有尽有
古人说:“赐子千金,不如教子一艺;教子一艺,不如赐子好名。”中国人重视名字由来已久。相似的,越来越多的英国父母屏弃了起传统名字的做法,而是开动脑筋,想给孩子取个稀奇古怪,不想让自己的孩子和别人同名。
A growing number of parents appear to have ditched traditional names in favour of morebizarre ones such as Shy, Unity and Bean.
越来越多的父母屏弃了起传统名字的做法,而是开动脑筋,想给孩子取个稀奇古怪、“独一份”的名字。 例如:“害羞”、“统一”或者“豆子”等等。
It’s great to see parents being creative and wanting their children to stand out from the crowd with more unusual names. They don’t want their children to share anyone else’s name。” said Bounty spokeswoman Faye Mingo.
邦蒂育儿俱乐部女发言人法耶·明戈表示:“这些父母开动脑筋给自己的孩子起独特的名字,是想让自己的孩子在人群中引人注目,而不想让他们和别人同名。”
“Parents do need to think very carefully about everything that comes attached to an unusualmoniker as it can definitely shape a child’s experiences from how they are treated at school and beyond.”
但是她提醒这些“新潮”的父母,取名前要“三思而后行”,一个怪名字,很可能会给孩子的成长带来困扰,影响他们在学校以及其他场所的待遇。
The poll also found that the same number of children, perhaps unsurprisingly, did not like their names while a growing number had asked for it to be changed.
调查结果也与该说法一致:许多孩子不喜欢他们的怪名字,纷纷要求改名。

诗歌是世界上最古老最基本的文学形式,是语言艺术最高的表现形式。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英国经典诗歌附翻译,希望大家喜欢!
I MUST go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.
我多想再次回到大海,
回到那寂寥的海天相连
我只想独自驾驶那高大的帆船,看浪花和白帆在风的歌唱中飞舞
雾雨弥漫在海面,透出曙色一线
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
我多想再次回到大海
倾听那奔越的潮汐的呐喊
那野性的呼唤如此清晰使我无法拒绝
风舞云飞,浪花涌溅,还有那海鸥的哭啼,是我唯一的惦念
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.我一定要再次回到大海
似吉普赛人浪迹天边
像海鸥,像鲸鱼,咧咧的风像一把锋利的刀
我只想似流浪者笑对如戏人生,让欺诈在静谧、甜美的梦中消散

诗歌是世界上最古老最基本的文学形式,是语言艺术最高的表现形式。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英国名家经典诗歌,希望大家喜欢!
布莱克
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
老虎!老虎!黑夜的森林中
燃烧着的煌煌的火光,
是怎样的神手或天眼
造出了你这样的威武堂堂?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
你炯炯的两眼中的火
燃烧在多远的天空或深渊?
他乘着怎样的翅膀搏击?
用怎样的手夺来火焰?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
又是怎样的膂力,怎样的技巧,
把你的心脏的筋肉捏成?
当你的心脏开始搏动时,
使用怎样猛的手腕和脚胫?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
是怎样的槌?怎样的链子?
在怎样的熔炉中炼成你的脑筋?
是怎样的铁砧?怎样的铁臂
敢于捉着这可怖的凶神?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
群星投下了他们的投枪。
用它们的眼泪润湿了穹苍,
他是否微笑着欣赏他的作品?
是否他创造了你,也创造了羔羊?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
群星投下了他们的投枪。
用它们的眼泪润湿了穹苍,
他是否微笑着欣赏他的作品?
是否他创造了你,也创造了羔羊?

What is this life if, full of care,
生活会变成什么样,假如整日充满着忧患
We have no time to stand and stare!
我们没时间去驻足欣赏
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
没时间去站在树枝底下
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
像牛羊那样久久的凝视
No time to see, when woods we pass,
没时间去细赏我们穿越的大森林
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
那松鼠在草丛中把果实珍藏
No time to see,in broad daylight,
没时间去想一想 为什么
Streams full of stars,like skies at night.
倒影在溪流中的星星 像晴空的夜晚
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
没时间去细想 那佳人的回眸一瞥
And watch her feet,how they can dance.
欣赏那脚 舞姿是多么擅长
No time to wait till her mouth can
无暇等那佳人红唇轻启
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
盈盈的笑眸更加动人
A poor life this if, full of care,
生活可悲可厌,倘若它充满着忧患
We have no time to stand and stare.
我们没时间去驻足欣赏

英国的教育体系经过几百年的沿革,相当的完善和复杂,这里就有它的英文版介绍。下面读文网小编为大家带来英国教育体系英文简介,希望对你有所帮助!
英国教育体系总体来说分为三个阶段: 义务教育(Compulsory Education),延续教育(Further Education)和高等教育(Higher Education)。
一、义务教育 (Compulsory Education)
英国的学生从四岁开始接受义务教育,享受全免费的国家福利,学校甚至还提供免费的午餐,所有的家长必须把自己的孩子送到学校读书。小学教育一般持续到11岁,然后进入中学。英国的中学不分初中高中,从中一(Form 1)到中五(Form 5)共五年的时间。
二、延续教育(Further Education)
延续教育是英国教育体系中最有特色也最精彩的部分,它是继小学(Primary)中学(Secondary)教育之后的“第三级教育”(Tertiary)。为进入高等教育或者就业打下基础。也是中国的高中学生留学英国的关键阶段。一般来说接受延续教育的学生介于16和18岁之间。它分为两种体系:学业路线(Academic Route)和职业路线(Vocational Route)。学业路线着重于培养学术研究方面的人才,职业路线则结合社会各层面的职业需要,培养在各种行业中具有专门技能和知识的人才。这两种体系在英国受到同等的重视。
三、高等教育(Higher Education)
顾名思义,高等教育是英国教育体系中的高级阶段,它包括:
本科(Bachelor Degree)
研究生(Master Degree)
博士生(Doctorial Degree)
高级国家文凭(HND-Higher National Diploma)。
高等教育通常都是由大学(University)提供,但许多学院(College)也提供Bachelor和HND课程。
