English Rabbit Teacher has collected the "Easiest is often the hardest" series of articles sent by public account "English Rabbit" , which is popular with everyone, into a high-quality article (10 points in total) - Unity is strength, scale is effect, readers can finally collect, learn, forward and share with one click. These simple but easy to make mistakes, simple but don’t know how to speak, are the most powerful English and the English that friends lack the most. Moreover, I’m afraid even the English professors are not very clear about it.
The easiest one is often the most difficult one!
Many people are familiar with the most difficult and longest words for GRE, but they may not know the common words that a 4-year-old American child will say.
is some difficulty because it is very long and difficult to remember, some difficulty because it is ignored, and some difficulty because it has not been taught in the textbook.
, Starbucks must show the English
mug! Is
difficult?
You may never know what to say about the ceramic cup that Starbucks gives you. We only learned glass and cup in school, namely glass and cup respectively.
But cup refers to such a cup
Starbucks' cup is indeed cylindrical, large handle
. Remember, this cup is called MUG
not CUP! The following cartoon can fully illustrate this difference.
Next time I go to Starbucks, show off your authentic English, and take this cup for those who claim to be great English!
By the way, mug also has the meaning of "robbery". Just look at Friends. The recording and script are here: No matter how rich Wang Jianlin is, he cannot experience the fun of Friends~
, oranges,
oranges, oranges, are you talking about oranges like this?
We have called it since junior high school:
orange!
is not very accurate.
The orange in the American population is basically like this, which is what we call "orange". I don't need to say the difference between oranges and oranges.
And oranges, it should be said, mandarin orange, Chinese sweet orange, or
tangerine
If you want to ask me the difference between oranges and oranges, then I can only call the botanist and ask him to talk about what tangerine is...
, you can't even say vegetables?
What do you mean by green vegetables?
Have we learned cabbage? Right?
is wrong, cabbage refers to this:
Right, CABBAGE is cabbage, not what we call green vegetables.
The vegetables we are talking about are like this (in fact, the names are different in different places. People in Beijing seem to be called rapeseed?)
is right, I don’t know what to say, right? !
Bok choy, by the way, it is based on Chinese, or it can be called Chinese cabbage.
Mr.Gong is very particular about writing things, just like writing academic papers, it is not written casually, nor is it written just based on what you know, because everyone has limited knowledge. Therefore, we must study it.
WikipediaWikipedia This is how bok choy:
Bok choy or pak choi (Chinese: cabbage; Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis) is a type of Chinese cabbage.Chinesevaries do not form heads; instead, they have smooth, dark green leaf blades forming a cluster reminiscent of mustard or celery. Chinesevaries are popular in southern China and Southeast Asia. Being winter-hardy, they are increasingly grown in Northern Europe. This group was originally classified as its own species under the name Brassica chinensis by Linnaeus.
Note: Brassica rapa subsp is Latin and the real scientific name of cabbage. The official scientific name of plants is recorded in Latin, which is very complicated and cannot be understood by ordinary people.

Everyone who learns English knows that menus are one of the most difficult English. They have never been a foodie abroad and don’t understand them at all. So in order to allow everyone to eat delicious food abroad, Mr. Gong wrote a rare and precious article through great difficulty: the most complete menu in history, a detailed explanation of English in English - a must-have for foodies to go abroad (original). After reading it, you can eat all over the world.
, are you sagging?
Drooping, a simple word, in Chinese, three-year-old children will say "drooping".
But we have learned English for so many years, but this word has never appeared in junior high and high school English textbooks - this is actually a GRE word.
drooping!
If something drops, it hangs or leans downward with no strength or firmness.
the eyeselids droop. bunny's drooping ears
Some dogs have droopy ears because of the kind of breed they are. Breeds such as Labradors and Bloodhounds have droopy ears because they are hunting dogs. The droopy ears funnel the scents towards the dog's nose.
What else is there to sag? Hummm.....hehe
, The relationship between white-collar workers and dogs
Nowadays, more and more people are raising dogs in the city. When I was in college more than ten years ago, I heard that the biggest pollution in Paris was shit. It was really Shit happens in Paris. Who knew that today, shit can be seen everywhere on the streets of Beijing. It really didn’t catch up with Paris, but shit caught up with it.
The elder sisters and aunts are all holding dog leashes and taking their dogs for a walk. How many people know how to say the rope and collar of the dog in English?
This really stumped the English teacher. Mr.GONG tells you that the collar is collar, and the dog leash is lead (or leash).
So the two pictures above are lead and collar settml3
After reading it, readers will be secretly happy. Why? It turns out that we so-called white collars can also be understood as: ** with white collars, being led around by others~~! ! !
, even pants have knowledge that you don’t know
Golf is an elegant sport, especially in the Commonwealth countries, golf clubs often have the title of “royal club”, which pays more attention to playing ball “etiquette”. If it does not meet etiquette requirements, it is better not to beat it.
English rabbit teacher has played golf abroad, so he is well aware of the complex requirements, such as not being able to wear sleeveless or collarless tops, and the pants must be slits. How do you say it in Chinese?
may only be explained clearly using pictures. The pants below have slits:
Another type of pants does not have a front slit, which is not in line with golf etiquette:
We all know the concept of pants like this, but MR.GONG can't think of which Chinese word can explain the slit part and zipper in a very appropriate way? In fact, the zipper is just one of the components. Some pants with this design don't even have zippers. Does anyone know how to say it in Chinese? Welcome to let us know in the message!
As for how to say in English, MR.GONG has learned it, because it is very simple, I will teach you today. I guess if you ask a professor in the English department of a university, he may not know the English statement in this part. As a practical player, MR.GONG had received a letter from a golf club, which shows it. Trousers with a fly!
Right, fly can explain this concept. The easiest ones are often the hardest ones.
Fly
Main article: Fly (clothing)
A fly is a covering over an opening join concealing the mechanism, such as a zipper, velcro or buttons, used to join the opening. In trousers, this is most commonly an opening covering the groin, which makes the pants easier to put on or take off. The opening also allows men to urinate without lowering their trousers.
Trousers have varied historically in whether or not they have a fly. Originally, hose did not cover the area between the legs. This was instead covered by a doublet or by a codpiece. When breeches were hurt, during the Regency period for example, they were fall-fronted (or broad fall). Later, after trousers (pantaloons) were invented, the fly-front (split fall) emerged.[54] The panelled front returned as a sporting option, such as in riding breeches, but is now hardly ever used, a fly being by far the most common fasting. Most flies now use a zipper, though button-fly pants continue to be available.
Make a sentence! You should always check if your fly is undone after you go to the washroom.
FLY Another meaning, by the way, 1, fly; 2, fly
, you only know how to look at beauty, but don’t know what she is holding in her hand?
What you learn from the classroom is always limited (finite), but what you learn from life is infinite (infinite).
The knowledge you get on paper is always shallow, and you must practice it yourself to know this!
Today we are going to talk about pot, which pot is really not open, because you really don’t know what to say about pot, because the teacher has never taught it, and it doesn’t teach it in class, or it doesn’t teach it all. Is it bottle? That's a bottle.
If you want to talk about pot, this is a great knowledge. I will listen to Mr. Gong’s detailed explanation.
Don’t talk nonsense, just look at the picture to compare
pitcher
The picture above is called a girl with pitcher

Qu Wanting has a song called "Jar of Love". Love full of jars

, do foreigners wear long pants?
When Chinese people pick up their autumn pants, for some reason, they just bring some humor and self-deprecating taste, and sometimes they will make them laugh! The same is true for Americans, and they call autumn clothes and pants long johns (also called long underwear or thermal underwear). Foreigners are really good. How can they call autumn clothes and pants Johns? How can they feel for those "Johns"! Of course, Johns suffered more than that? Not only did he become a long-distance pants, but he also became a "toilet" (the picture below), and he also became a "prostitute" (The clients of prostitutes are also known as johns or tricks in North America and punters in the British Isles.) John is really a lot of disasters, but he is also versatile!
What do you think of the classmates who gave themselves the English name JOHN?
If Americans really don’t wear autumn clothes, then who should I sell these long johns on EBAY?
Autumn pants were not invented by Chinese people. Europeans invented long johns as early as the 17th century (Long johns were firstt
introduced into England in the17th century, but they did not become popular as sleepwear until the 18th century.) It seems that long johns are also part of Western historical civilization. Who says foreigners don’t wear long pants? Except for the black African people, it is too hot.
So, brothers and sisters, go and wear long pants bravely! Be brave to admit that you are wearing long-lasting pants! People all over the world love autumn pants! (You can ask Obama if he wears it another day)
, stuff your big lips in!
When you wear a suit, do you have to stuff your shirt into your pants? How to describe this action?
TUCK
He tucked his shirt inside his trousers.
tuck is a versatile word:
When you sleep in winter, you will get the quilt ready so that there will be no air leakage.
to tuck in a quilt

to tuck up one's trousers
0 The black soldier Bubba, who is obsessed with shrimp hunting in the movie "Forrest Gump", has a big lips, so the following conversation happened:
I am Lieutenant Dan Taylor, welcome to Fort Platoon.
What's wrong with your lips? What's wrong with your lip?
I was born with thick lips, sir.
Hmm, you'd better stuff it in. Well, you better tuck that in.
Or you'll bump mines Gonna get that caught on a trip wire.
so in the picture above Bubba obediently tucked in his big lip
0, is this swelling?
We have learned some words, but we rarely use them, so we forgot them. So one day, your puppy's eyes were swollen. You have to tell the doctor what to say?
My dog's eyes are swollen
My dog's eyes swell.
[Methodology]---Learning should be good at seeing the essence and diverging from the essence-
So,
swell can be translated into Chinese as "swell", but essentially "large in volume", so it can also be translated into "expanding".
Self-esteem swells
Self-esteem swells
Self-confidence swells
[Methodology] We continue to expand and extend our thinking, so:
If it is inflammation, what do you say?
My dog's leg has an infection.
My dog's leg is inflamed.
If you want to take anti-inflammatory drugs, you should write:
Should I take antibiotics?
I HOPE YOU WILL Live a healthy and happy life!
