[M01][M01] 有GLG吗？

兴高彩烈

上次上英文的写作课，老师教了一个很好的句型：

It's not that..., it's that...

不是……，而是……

据说原句是罗马的什么什么大帝帮什么人攻陷罗马以后说的，好象是什么：

It's not that I love ... less, it's that I love Roma more.

记不清楚了， [M20]

Rain cats & dogs——这是形容昨晚的那场大风大雨！与猫狗无关哦 [M04]

小王子

A cat has nine lives.
一猫九命

When the cat is away, the mice will play.
猫儿不在，老鼠翻天；阎王不在，小鬼跳梁。

It rains cats and dogs.下着倾盆大雨。

cats and dogs：(关系)形同水火

They are like cats and dogs.
他们彼此水火不容。

英美国家的"厕所"文化

有这样一则笑话：一个外宾想上厕所，便对翻译说："I wonder if I can go somewhere?"(我可以方便一下吗?)而翻译却把somewhere误解为"某处"，因而回答道"Yes, you can go anywhere in China."(行，中国你哪儿都可以去。)外宾不禁愕然。可见，如不了解英语中"厕所"的一些表达法是会误事的。　　
1.Public lavatory意为"公厕"， 在公共场所，厕所门上都标有Gent's(男厕)，或Ladies'(女厕)，有时也标有Men's, Men's room, Gentleman's, Women's Women's room.如：Where is the Gent's?(厕所在哪儿?)If you would like a wash, the Gentleman's is just over there.(如果要上厕所，男厕就在那边。) 　　

2.toilet是最常用的一个词。可指"公厕"，也可指"私厕"。例如：I wonder where the toilet is.(我想知道厕所在哪儿。) 　　

3.lavatory是个客气的词，但不如toilet常用。　　

4.bathroom是书面语。　　

5.loo是一个口语词，在英国用得很普通，主要指私人住宅中的厕所。如：Excuse me, would you like to tell me where the loo is?(请问，厕所在哪儿?) 　　

6.powder room是美语，女士常用。如：I would like to powder my nose.就表现了美国人的幽默。　　

7.wash room, washing room, westroom常用于美国英语。　　

8.W.C.是water closet的缩写，常用于英国英语，表示"有抽水没有设备的厕所"，有时也可用手势表示，即拇指和食指圈成圆，其他三指向上，模仿成英文W和C的形态。　　

9.John是俚语。如：Last night I went to visit John twice.(昨晚我去了趟厕所。) 　　

10.go and see one's aunt是俚语，常用于英国英语，表示"上厕所""去大便"。
