英语谚语和来历【篇一：英语谚语和来历】以下是英语中经常使用的短句，然而其中一些短句的出处却是出乎人们意料之外的。

这张列表的来源是the book of beginnings。

（绝版了）10、always a bridesmaid, never a bride总是伴娘，永远不是新娘。

这个短句是李斯德林漱口水的广告语！为了促进他们的产品，李斯德林的生产商在当时雇用了一些想要安定下来却一直被挂起的有个人经验的女孩。

1920年，广告第一次放映，它描述了一个场景解释了这些女孩为什么没有成功的可能的原因。

以下是广告的全部：可怜的艾德娜快要30岁了，她的很多女朋友要么已经结婚了要么快要喜结良缘了。

她也是多么希望步入婚姻的殿堂做新娘而不是伴娘啊！~ 然而，所有的浪漫与她总是迅速终结。

有一个原因。

大家都瞒着她，她有口臭，没有人会告诉她，即使是她最亲密的朋友也没有告诉她。

这个广告帮助工厂销售了百万瓶漱口水，并且这个新兴的英语也流传了下来。

9、bark up the wrong tree错怪了某人这句话要追溯到以打猎为主要运动的时代，这时的动物们被用来追踪、捕猎和取回猎物。

这个应用，尤其针对狗。

狗在当时被用来追踪浣熊，一般都在夜晚进行。

狗是被训练过的，可以在浣熊的藏身之树前大叫。

当然，狗也有犯错的时候，它可能对着错误的树大叫。

8、be on a good footing有一个良好的基础与其他人，尤其是和那些身处高位的人有良好的人际关系表明了你和他们“有良好的基础”。

对于这个短语是从哪来的，有两种说法。

有人说这句话可以追溯到早期学徒的实践。

这是一个传统，作为学徒工作的第一天，他要邀请他所有的同事喝饮料。

这个新学徒付账。

如果大家认为他是一个慷慨的东道主，他就会交到朋友。

他的朋友们永远也不会忘记他的盛情款待。

当回顾这花销了多少钱时，被说成是初学者得到了“良好的基础”。

第二个来历与一个早期的人类解剖学的怪异解释有关，尤其是一个人的足趾的长度。

It Is BushOn the 36th day after they had voted, Americans finally learned Wednesday who would be their next president: Governor George W. Bush of Texas.Vice President Al Gore, his last realistic avenue for legal challenge closed by a U. S. Supreme Court decision late Tuesday, planned to end the contest formally in a televised evening speech of perhaps 10 minutes, advisers said.They said that Senator Joseph Lieberman, his vice presidential running mate, would first make brief comments. The men would speak from a ceremonial chamber of the Old Executive office Building, to the west of the White House.The dozens of political workers and lawyers who had helped lead Mr. Gore’s unprecedented fight to claw a come-from-behind electoral victory in the pivotal state of Florida were thanked Wednesday and asked to stand down.“The vice president has directed the recount committee to suspend activities,” William Daley, the Gore campaign chairman, said in a written statement.Mr. Gore authorized that statement after meeting with his wife, Tipper, and with top advisers including Mr. Daley.He was expected to telephone Mr. Bush during the day. The Bush campaign kept a low profile and moved gingerly, as if to leave space for Mr. Gore to contemplate his next steps.Yet, at the end of a trying and tumultuous process that had focused world attention on sleepless vote counters across Florida, and on courtrooms form Miami to Tallahassee to Atlanta to Washington the Texas governor was set to become the 43d U. S. president.Th e news of Mr. Gore’s plans followed the longest and most rancorous dispute over a U. S. presidential election in more than a century, one certain to leave scars in a badly divided country.It was a bitter ending for Mr. Gore, who had outpolled Mr. Bush nationwide by some 300000 votes, but, without Florida, fell short in the Electoral College by 271votes to 267—the narrowest Electoral College victory since the turbulent election of 1876.Mr. Gore was said to be distressed by what he and many Democratic activists felt was a partisan decision from the nation’s highest court.The 5-to –4 decision of the Supreme Court held, in essence, that while a vote recount in Florida could be conducted in legal and constitutional fashion, as Mr. Gore had sought, this could not be done by the Dec. 12 deadline for states to select their presidential electors.James Baker 3rd, the former secretary of state who represented Mr. Bush in the Florida dispute, issued a short statement after the U. S. high court ruling, saying that th e governor was “very pleased and gratified.”Mr. Bush was planning a nationwide speech aimed at trying to begin to heal the country’s deep, aching and varied divisions. He then was expected to meet with congressional leaders, including Democrats. Dick Chen ey, Mr. Bush’s ruing mate, was meeting with congressmen Wednesday in Washington.When Mr. Bush, who is 54, is sworn into office on Jan.20, he will be only the second son of a president to follow his father to the White House, after John Adams and John Quincy Adams in the early 19th century.Mr. Gore, in his speech, was expected to thank his supporters, defend his hive-week battle as an effort to ensure, as a matter of principle, that every vote be counted, and call for the nation to join behind the new pres ident. He was described by an aide as “resolved and resigned.”While some constitutional experts had said they believed states could present electors as late as Dec. 18, the U. S. high court made clear that it saw no such leeway.The U.S. high court sent b ack “for revision” to the Florida court its order allowing recounts but made clear that for all practical purposes the election was over.In its unsigned main opinion, the court declared, “The recount process, in its features here described, is inconsistent with the minimum procedures necessary to protect the fundamental right of each voter.”That decision, by a court fractured along philosophical lines, left one liberal justice charging that the high court’s proceedings bore a political taint.Justice Joh n Paul Stevens wrote in an angry dissent:” Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year’s presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation’s confidence in the judge as an im partial guardian of the law.”But at the end of five seemingly endless weeks, during which the physical, legal and constitutional machines of the U. S. election were pressed and sorely tested in ways unseen in more than a century, the system finally produced a result, and one most Americans appeared to be willing at lease provisionally to support.The Bush team welcomed the news with an outward show of restraint and aplomb. The governor’s hopes had risen and fallen so many times since Election night, and the legal warriors of each side suffered through so many dramatic reversals, that there was little energy left for celebration.1.The main idea of this passage is[A]. Bush’s victory in presidential election bore a political taint.[B]. The process of the American presidential election.[C]. The Supreme Court plays a very important part in the presidential election.[D]. Gore is distressed.2.What does the sentence “as if to leave space for Mr. Gore to contemplate his nextstep” mean[A]. Bush hopes Gore to join his administration.[B]. Bush hopes Gore to concede defeat and to support him.[C]. Bush hopes Gore to congraduate him.[D]. Bush hopes Gore go on fighting with him.3.Why couldn’t Mr. Gore win the presidential election aft er he outpolled Mr. Bush in the popular vote? Because[A]. the American president is decided by the supreme court’s decision.[B]. people can’t directly elect their president.[C]. the American president is elected by a slate of presidential electors.[D]. the people of each state support Mr. Bush.4.What was the result of the 5—4 decision of the supreme court?[A]. It was in fact for the vote recount.[B]. It had nothing to do with the presidential election.[C]. It decided the fate of the winner.[D]. It was in essence against the vote recount.5.What did the “turbulent election of 1876” imply?[A]. The process of presidential election of 2000 was the same as that.[B]. There were great similarities between the two presidential elections (2000 and 1876).[C]. It was compared to presidential election of 2000.[D]. It was given an example.Vocabulary1.avenue 通向成功/获取成功的途径/手段2.running mate 竞选伙伴，如作为总统的竞选伙伴，获胜后为副总统3.pivotal 重要的，枢纽的4.gingerly=carefully 小心翼翼地5.tumultuous 吵闹的，骚动的，激动的6.rancorous 充满仇恨的7.elector 总统选举团成员8.elector college 美国选举总统的选举团9.leeway 风压差，余地10.for all practical purpose 事实上，实际11.fracture 断裂，折断12.taint 污点，败坏，感染13.dissent 不同意，异议14.provisionally 暂时的，临时的15.aplomb 镇静，沉着16.restraint 抑制，克制，谨慎。
