提到莎士比亚，大家想到的都是英国文豪，剧作家这些标签。可是你知道吗，莎士比亚还是一位“造词专家”——他给英语语言贡献了比任何人都多的词汇，短语和表达。来和小编一起涨涨“姿势”吧。 1.A fool’s paradise 愚人的天堂，自欺欺人的快乐 出自：在《罗米欧与朱丽叶》中，朱丽叶的nurse警告罗密欧不要把朱丽叶引入愚人的天堂： “...but first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her into a fool's paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior...” We are headed for economic trouble, and anyone who thinks otherwise is living in a fool's paradise. 我们正在向经济困难迈进，所有不相信的人都是在自欺欺人。 下次想提醒别人，尤其是恋爱中的伙伴不要盲目地抱有幻想时就可以这么说啦。 2.It’s all one to me. 无所谓，对我来说都一样。 出自：Troilus and Cressida 《特洛埃勒斯与克雷雪达》 好吧，这部小编都没听说过。 Because she's kin to me, therefore she's not so fair as Helen: an she were not kin to me, she would be as fair on Friday as Helen is on Sunday. But what care I? I care not an she were a black-a-moor; It’s all one to me. 注释：在现在的用法里，更常见的是It’s all the same to me. Would you prefer to go out for a meal or eat in?It’s all one to me. 你想出去吃还是在家吃？ 随便。 当别人让你选择，而你觉得无所谓的时候，就可以这么回答了。 3.All that glitters is not gold 闪光的未必都是金子。 出自：The Merchant of Venice 《威尼斯商人》 Don’t be fooled by its shiny appearance, as a saying goes: All that glitters is not gold. 别被它华丽的外表蒙蔽了，闪光的不一定是金子。 4.As good luck would have it 碰巧的是；幸运（不幸）的是 出自：The Merry Wives of Windsor 《温莎的风流娘们儿》 As luck would have it, it rained the day of the picnic. 不幸的是，野营的那天正好下雨。 5.Comparisons are odious 人比人气死人 出自：Much Ado About Nothing 《无事生非》 不要和拿自己和别人比较，毕竟“人比人，气死人”。 Don’t compare yourself with others since comparisons are odious. 你就说赞不赞同这句话吧？ 6.To fight fire with fire 以其人之道还其人之身 出自：King John 《约翰王》 表达“以牙还牙”还可以说 an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth 看完了这些莎翁创造的经典表达，你是不是也要感慨一下大师的杰作呢。赶紧学会把它们运用到生活中去吧！ 学好英语，从听开始 听力课堂（ID：tingclass123） |
