英语习语典故：goldenfleece稀世之珍在希腊神话中，金羊毛（golden fleece）是一件稀世珍宝。

它的来历如下：玻俄提亚国王阿塔玛斯的儿子佛里克索斯受到继母的虐待，就在生母的帮助下，和姐姐一道逃出了王宫，乘坐一只有翼的金色公羊远走高飞。

在半途中，姐姐一阵头晕，从羊背上坠落下去，掉在海里淹死了。

佛里克索斯则平安地到达黑海沿岸的科尔喀斯，受到国王埃厄忒斯的热情接待，并把女儿卡尔契俄柏许配给他。

佛里克索斯宰杀金羊祭献宙斯，感谢他的保佑。

他把金羊毛作为礼物献给国王埃厄忒斯。

国王又将它转献给战神阿瑞斯，把它钉在纪念阿瑞斯的圣林里，并派一条火龙看守着。

众多希腊英雄为了获得这件宝贝而踏上了冒险的征途，但都没有成功。

后来，希腊英雄伊阿宋（Jason）为了夺回被叔父霸占的王位，召集一大群英雄好汉，乘坐"阿尔戈斯"号大船，踏上了寻找金羊毛的征途。

他们在科尔喀斯公主美狄亚（Medea）的帮助下，成功地盗取了金羊毛并逃回了希腊。

在英语中，后人就用golden fleece（金羊毛）来比喻"人人都想得到的宝贝、历尽千辛万苦才得到的宝贝"。

例句：A Chinese entry strategy is a much sought after golden fleece forany company. 进入中国的策略是所有公司竞相追逐的法宝。

give a lick and a promise：敷衍了事出自一则英国民间传说。

以前有一只猫，它的脸常常脏得很，每当别的猫要它洗脸时它就用舌头很快地舔一下（give a lick），然后保证（promise）说下次一定弄干净，但实际只是敷衍了事，还是老样子。

后来人们就用give a lick and a promise（舔一下然后保证）来比喻"敷衍了事"（尤指清洁和打扫等时）。

有时give可以换成get，一般用于口语。
