英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)(11.17):Munch

字號(hào):

今天給大家介紹一個(gè)字"munch"。Munch這個(gè)字的意思是吃零食。好多人都喜歡吃零食,特別是女孩子。不過(guò),美國(guó)人不管男女老少,每當(dāng)他們看電影的時(shí)候,他們總是喜歡吃爆米花。每個(gè)電*也都設(shè)有賣(mài)爆米花和汽水的地方,而且這還是電*的一大筆收入。下面這個(gè)例子就能說(shuō)明問(wèn)題:
    "One of the real pleasure of life for me is to sit and munch on hot buttered popcorn while I watch a good movie."
    這句話(huà)的意思是:“一面看一部好電影,一面吃著加黃油的爆米花,這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)才真是生活里的一大樂(lè)趣?!?BR>    可是,經(jīng)常吃零食對(duì)那些想保持身材苗條的來(lái)說(shuō)是不行的。請(qǐng)聽(tīng)下面這個(gè)例句:
    "No wonder Betty has trouble keeping her weight down. Between meals she munches all day long on potato chips, salted peanuts and candy."
    這個(gè)人說(shuō):“貝蒂吃完飯還是成天吃土豆片、咸花生和糖果,怪不得她沒(méi)法減肥呢?!?BR>    porpoise
    n.【動(dòng)】海豚
    例:
    As the turtle swims across the oceanarium, the first porpoise swoops down from above and butts his shell with his belly.
    當(dāng)海龜游過(guò)水族館時(shí),第一只海豚從上方猛撲下去,并用腹部撞擊龜殼。
