1．one-horse town--乡村小镇。 这一短语源自美国，由小镇仅拥有一匹马而来。 由此引申，one-horse现在可以表示 "极小的、简陋 的、次要的" 意思，如one-horse show（小型展览会）。 由one组合成的习语。而又毫无 "一" 这一含义的习语还有： (1) He was one too many for me. 我不是他的对手。 (2) Number one -- 自己。 由此而衍生to look after number one（自私，追求自己的利益） 2．Two of a trade did never agree -- 同行相轻。 这是一句古老的谚语。 由two组合成的习语还有： (1) when two Fridays come together. "永远不"的遁词。 (2) The two eyes of Greece. 希腊古代的两座城市"雅典"和"斯巴达"。 3．Three sheets in the wind -- 酩酊大醉。 sheet 的一个词义是"系在帆下角的金属环上的帆脚索"。如果帆脚索没有系扣住时，船帆可以任意 随风飘扬。船员们称之为 in the wind。A sheet in the wind由此成为船员们一句口头语言，表示 tipsy（微醉）。Three sheets in the wind 自然是大醉特醉了。 由three组合成的习语还有： Three score and ten --古稀之年。 score在英语中是"二十"的意思。尽管这一习语中的数字加起来是七十，但在引喻中只是泛指老年而已。 4．Four-letter words -- 粗俗的下流话。由此而衍生出four-letter man（专喜使用粗俗的下流话的人）。 由four组合的另一习语是： Four-sale 廉价的啤酒；每品脱原来只卖四便士的啤酒。 |
