1.好玩的英语谚语

“to let the cat out of the bag”，它的意思是“揭露一个秘密”，尤其是很重要、关键的那种。

关于这个词组的记载可以追溯到1760年，但据说此前一两百年就有这种说法了。 早在超市（或杂货店）出现之前，人们通常在当地的市场买菜。

农民和商人们在那里叫卖蔬菜水果、鸡蛋面包之类，此外还会出售肉类和家禽，通常都是些活的动物。在一些特殊的场合（如节日盛宴），乳猪是采购单上一样很抢手的食物。

由于乳猪会乱动，当顾客挑选好并结账后，商人为了运送方便就把猪塞进一个帆布口袋（poke）里递给顾客。 然而，市场上的许多交易并不光明磊落，奸商有时会利用顾客一时走神，把一只流浪猫冒充乳猪放进袋子里。

直到顾客回家，“把猫从袋子里拿出来”（let the cat out of the bag），才发现这个骗局。所以这个词组意味着是一个意外的，但通常令人讨厌的发现。

据说这也是谚语“不要买装在袋子里的猪”（don't buy a pig in a poke）的由来，也就是“不要不看现货就买东西”的意思。 而the World Wide Words website的经营者Michael Quinion对这个故事表示怀疑，他指出猫在袋子里会变得极度狂躁，因此很难把它误当成一头小猪。

也许这个词组是来自于某个人的经历，由于某种原因有一只猫在他袋子里，而戏剧性的效果则使这个故事广为流传。

One night a hotel caught fire, and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.

Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.

“Before I came out,” said one,“I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire, the fire burns it. So I took all the bills that I could find.No one will be poorer because I took them.”

“You don't know my work,” said the other.

“What is your work?”

“I'm a policeman.

“Oh!” cried the first man. He thought quickly and said,“And do you know my work?”“No,”said the policeman.

“I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”

英语小知识：Can Fish Drow

Yes,fish can drown.It isn't the water that keeps fish alive, but the oxygen in the water . Fish breathe through their gills, which draw oxygen from the water. When too many fish crowd together in a small pond or tank,the oxygen in the water may soon be used up.When this happens,the fish suffocate,which is what happens when any animal drowns

鱼会淹死吗

是的。鱼同样会淹死。使鱼能活着的并不是水，而是水中的氧气。鱼用其鳃进行呼吸，从水中吸取氧气。当过多的鱼拥挤在一个小水塘或小水池里时，水中的氧气很快就消耗尽。在这种情况下，鱼就会窒息而死。这与其它动物淹死的情况是完全一样的.
