1. The word "cemetery" comes from the Greek koimetirion which means dormitory。
英文“坟墓”一词来自希腊语koimetirion，意思是宿舍。
2. During historic civil wars, when troops returned without any casualties, a writing was put up so all can see which read "0 Killed". From here we get the expression "O.K." which means all is good.
在历史上著名的南北内战期间，如果部队返回时没有任何人员伤亡，就会以书面形式公示出来，写道“0 killed”。从此我们就有了“O.K.”这个代表着一切都好的说法。
3. When the English settlers landed in Australia, they noticed a strange animal that jumped extremely high and far. They asked the aboriginal people using body language and signs trying to ask them about this animal. They responded with "Kan Ghu Ru" the English then adopted the word kangaroo. What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was "we don't understand you", "Kan Ghu Ru".
当英国的殖民者登陆澳大利亚的时候，他们注意到一种奇怪的动物，跳得特别高特别远。他们就用肢体语言和手势问那些原住民有关这种动物的事情。原住民回答说“Kan Ghu Ru”，英国人就采纳了kangaroo这个词。实际上那些原住民说的“Kan Ghu Ru”意思是“我们不知道你们说什么”。
4. In ancient England, people could not have sex without consent from the King. When people wanted to have a child, they had to solicit a permission to the monarchy, in turn they would supply a plaque to hang on their door when they had sexual relations. The plaque read … "Fornication Under Consent of the King" (F.U.C.K.). This is the origin of the word.
在古代英国，未经国王允许，人们不能过性生活。 当人们想要一个小孩时，他们必须征求君王的许可，在他们有了性关系之后就会在门口悬挂一个牌匾。 牌匾是这么写的......“在国王的准许下私通”(首字母缩写为F.U.C.K.)。这就是那个词的起源。 |
