在汉语中，我们常常用植物名词来作比喻，让句子更加形象生动。比如我们常用“小辣椒”比喻性格泼辣的人。英语当然也不例外，现举例如下：
1、He has three sons but his daughter is the apple of his eye.
他有三个儿子，但他女儿才是他的掌上明珠。（苹果——受宠爱的人）
2、The country lost the flower of its youth in the war.
那个国家在战争中失去了许多优秀青年。（花——精华）
3、He is a peach to work with.

4、A man of learning is supposed to be some pumpkins.
学问高深的人常被认为是重要人物。（南瓜——重要人物）
5、She is a rose of loveliness.
她是位可爱的美人。（玫瑰——美人）
此外，还有a smooth apple 讨人喜欢的人；banana 喜剧演员；cabbage 少
女；onion讨厌的人；a small potato微不足道的人。
刚开始学习英语的同学对英语充满了神秘感，他们迫切想知道英语这块天地的
奥妙。请同学们欣赏下面英语中的小妙趣。
1、 趣味谚语。如“The earth bird catches the worm.”（捷足先登）。Look before you leap（三思而后行）。Every dog has its day.（凡人皆有得意日）。Let sleeping dogs lie.（莫惹事生非）。看了这些谚语，你不觉得其中的表达形象而
有趣吗？
2、 趣味单词。如ball（球）这个单词的另一个意思是“舞会”。舞会上人蹦蹦跳跳是不是有点像球呢？dear（亲爱的）一词也作“贵的”解。想象一下，使人
亲爱的东西是难以得到的，因而理应是“贵的”。
3、 趣味语法。英语可数名词由单数变复数时，一般要在词尾加-s或-es。从数量上看，加-s或-es后要变多。可是也有个别词不是这样。如hair（头发）一词，通常为单数，表示整体，如His hair is gray.（他头发花白）。但是表示若干根头发，则需要用该词的复数形式。如：He only has a few white hairs.（他只有几根白头法。）
这不是变复数后的数量更少了吗？
4、 趣味英汉对比句。汉语句子“在墙上有两个洞。”英语中应当为“There are two holes in the wall.”这里的“在墙上”为什么不用“on the wall”而用in the wall?细想一下，还是“in the wall”更有道理，因为“洞”确实实在墙里面的。另外，打“篮球”不用to beat basketball,而用“to play basketball”;“多大了？”
不用“How big ”而用“how old”。这些不是很有意思吗？
5、 趣味习语。如“give somebody a ring”不是“给某人一个戒指”，而是“给某人打个电话”。习语“Let the cat out of the bag.”意为“泄露秘密”，因为偷猫的人让猫从袋中走出来，他的罪行便暴露无遗了。又如“Like a cat on hot bricks”，就是我们汉语中常说的“像热锅上的蚂蚁”。美国习语“do No. 1 job.”，为“大便”，“No. 2 job.”为“小便”。“eat one’s wards”不是“食言”，而是“承认错误”。“have ants in one’s pants”意为“坐立不安”。如果是女性，则应当说“have ants in her skirt”.看了以上这些。你不觉得英语是一个妙
趣横生的大千世界吗？

asmallpotato的谚语篇四
Food Expressions与食物有关的谚语
Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES. A listener from Brazil, Elenir Scardueli, sent us a list of popular expressions about food. So today we will talk about expressions that use vegetables and fruits.
现在是美国之音慢速英语词汇掌故节目。巴西的一位听众给我们发来了一串有关食物的常用表达的名单。所以我们今天就来讨论一下包含蔬菜和水果的表达方式。
For example, a cucumber is a long, green vegetable that people often eat in salads. You might say a person is as cool as a cucumber if he never seems to worry about anything and stays calm in a stressful situation. If you put a cucumber in a solution of vinegar and spices for a long time, it becomes a pickle. But if you are in a pickle, you are in trouble or a difficult situation.
黄瓜是一种长把的绿色蔬菜，人们在沙拉中经常吃到。如果一个人看上去从不为任何事担忧，遇到紧急情况能保持冷静，你就可以说他as cool as a cucumber（冷静、从容不迫）。把黄瓜搁到醋里一段时间后就成了泡黄瓜（腌菜）。但如果说一个人in a pickle，意思是正处于困境中。
If two people are very similar, you might say they are like two peas in a pod.
如果两个人长得很像，你可以说他们象一个豆荚里的两颗豌豆（like two peas in a pod），意思就是一模一样，一个模子里刻出来的。
There are several expressions about beans. If someone is very energetic, you might say she is full of beans. If you say something does not amount to a hill of beans, you mean it is of little importance. I might say you don't know beans about a subject if you do not know anything at all about it. But if you spill the beans, you tell something that was supposed to be a secret. 还有很多和豆相关的表达方式。如果一个人精力充沛，你可以说他full of beans（精力充沛、生龙活虎）。如果你说一些东西does not amount to a hill of beans，意思是无足轻重。如果你对此一点都不懂，我可以说你don't know beans about a subject（一窍不通）。但如果说你spill the beans，意思是你说漏嘴，泄漏了机密。
Potatoes are a popular food in many areas. But something is considered small potatoes if it is not important. You probably would not want to hold a hot potato in your bare hands. This also means a problem or issue that no one wants to deal with. Someone might call you a couch
potato if you sit and watch television all day and get little or no physical exercise.
马铃薯是很多地方的常见食物。一些不重要的事被视为small potatoes（鸡毛蒜皮）。你可能也不希望hold a hot potato in your bare hands（接手烫手山芋），意思是无人愿意处理的问题或争端。如果你整天坐在沙发上看电视，很少或根本不锻炼，有人可能会称你为couch potato（沙发土豆，意为电视迷）。 Like potatoes, turnips are root vegetables that grow in the ground. Here is an old saying: you cannot squeeze blood out of a turnip. That means you cannot get something from a person that he or she is not willing or able to give.
和土豆一样，萝卜是一种长在地里的根类蔬菜。有一句老话说：you cannot squeeze blood out of a turnip（石头榨不出水）.意思是你无法从不愿意或无法给予的某人手里得到什么。
Farmers have to separate the valuable parts of their crops from the waste. So separating the wheat from the chaff means keeping what is valuable and rejecting what is worthless. 农民们必须把农作物中有价值的部分分离出来。因此separating the wheat from the chaff意思是去其糟粕留其精华。
Students often have to take a difficult test to gain entrance to a special school. So you could say the ones who are chosen are the best ones, or the cream of the crop.
学生们必须参加艰难的考试才能赢得“名校入场券”。因此你可以说，被录取的都是最好的学生，也就是the cream of the crop（精英、百里挑一）
There is an old saying that forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. That means some people get pleasure from doing something that they are not supposed to do.
有句老话说，forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest（禁果最甜），意思是人们从一些不应该做的事情中得到乐趣。{asmallpotato的谚语}.
Bananas are a popular fruit to eat. But if you go bananas, you are wild with excitement or worry.
香蕉是一种常见水果，但如果说你go bananas，意思是你非常兴奋或担心。
Finally, let us talk about lemons. Lemons have a sour taste if you eat them plain. But lemons make a nice drink when you mix their juice with sugar and water. So here is an expression
about lemons that we like: If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This means you should always try to make the best of a bad situation.
最后，让我们来说说柠檬。柠檬直接吃时酸酸的。但当你把柠檬汁、糖、水混合到一起就成了可口的饮品。因此就有和柠檬有关的这样一种表达：If life gives you lemons, make lemonade。意思是在困境中也要做到最好。
