Thereisnosuchathingasfreelunch.
天下没有白吃的午餐.
============================================
这句成语太出名了,似乎没有人不知道.这也是经济学的理论基础吧!天底下没有那么好的事情可以不劳而获.总之,当我们听到一件事情好到不可思议时,例如一元手机,免费上网,我们就可以对别人说,Thereisnosuchathingasfreelunch.
但是有规则就有例外,像是美国的教会或是救世军(SalvationArmy)之类[

Iputmyfootinmymouth.
我说错话了.
====================================================
这就是当你说了不该说的话时,突然发觉你说错话了,就会这么说.有一次我跟老美在聊天,他跟我说某某人是Jerk,想不到他一回头,那人就在我们旁边.他就很快说了一句,"Iputmyfootinmymouth."话说我刚学会这句,"Iputmyfootinmymouth."后,我就一直想自己来用看看,结果呢?我居然说成了,"Iputmyfootinyo[

It'safive-secondrule.
这是五秒法则.
==================================================
有一次跟老美一起在作菜,结果食物就这么掉到地上,隔壁的老美一把就捡起来,我还以为他要把它丢到垃圾桶,结果没想到他居然把它放回盘子里.当我以质疑的眼光看着他时,没想到他跟我说,"It'safive-secondrule."原来是这样的,以前如果有人到餐馆打工,老板就会告诉他,食物掉到地上只要没超过五秒[

Sticksandstones.
我不认为你的话会伤了我.
==================================================================
这是一句很长的英文句子的开头,原文是这样的.Sticksandstonesmaybreakmybones,butwordswillneverhurtme.意思是,石头和棍子能够打断我的骨头,可是你的话一点也伤不到我.
这跟中文的意思是不是正好相反?在中文里我们认为一个人的话比真实的武器还会伤人的,但是在英文中却说,只有棍子[
