學(xué)英語(yǔ)的人都知道,莎士比亞為英語(yǔ)詞匯的發(fā)展做出了卓越的貢獻(xiàn),我們現(xiàn)在使用的很多詞匯和表達(dá)都是源于莎翁的作品,比如salad days、green-eyed monster等。今天,我們就為大家盤(pán)點(diǎn)出源自于莎士比亞作品的10個(gè)常用短語(yǔ),看過(guò)之后會(huì)不會(huì)立馬覺(jué)得這些短語(yǔ)高大上了呢?
1. Green-Eyed Monster: 嫉妒
How Shakespeare used it:
The evil Iago plants doubts in Othello's mind about his wife's faithfulness, while advising him, "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! / It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock / The meat it feeds on." (Othello, Act 3, Scene 3)
莎士比亞原文:邪惡的伊阿古讓奧賽羅對(duì)妻子的忠心起了疑心,提醒他說(shuō),“噢,大人,要小心嫉妒之心!那可是一只綠眼的妖魔,它慣于耍弄爪下的獵物?!保ā秺W賽羅》,第3幕第3場(chǎng))
現(xiàn)代例句:
".... if jealousy wasn't a factor, three out of every four married people were highly satisfied with the emotional facets of their marriage. However, when the 'green-eyed monster' entered the mix, levels of satisfaction dropped to less than half for married folk." — Michelle Lodge, HealthDay.com, Feb. 12, 2010
