英语中常会用到的口头禅分享
It is a shame!这是一句可以用在许多适当情况的口语 (Catch-all phrase)，是表示一种轻度的「遗憾」或「同情」(a form of sympathy or regret) 但没有「羞耻」的意思。例如：
It is a shame that your car got stuck in the snow.（你的汽车陷在雪里，真糟糕。） When I said, "I lost ten dollars from my pocket.",he replied, "It is a shame!"（当我说：「我从口袋里掉了十块钱」，他回答：「真遗憾？」)
至於 "What a shame"，其实与 "it is a shame" 意思相似，也有 "It is too bad" 的味道。例如： What a shame that his son's behavior is so rude.（他儿子的粗鲁行为是令人遗憾的）作者: doneast 时间: 2012-10-4 17:20
【学好美语必须掌握的地道习语】
Hey, Give me five
范例：
"Hey, Tom ! Give me five!" shouted Henry, raising his hand.
“嗨，汤姆！好啊！”享得大叫着，并把手举起来。
句型解说：
在现代美国电影或电视中，常常可看到两个人手伸出一互相击掌（其实中国人也有许多这样），这种现象发生在两初见面时，或是有什么值得两人高兴的事发生时。

【分享】少儿英语教学重要原则
Once a man wanted to go to the south， but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him： 'If you are going to the south， why is your chariot heading north？ ' The man answered， 'My horse is good at running， my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage， and I have enough money. ' The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong； the better his conditions were， the further he was away from his destination.
后来人们就把这个故事概括为“南辕北辙”，比喻一个人的行为和他的目的正好相反。
The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.作者: doneast 时间: 2012-12-10 13:23
【分享】伊索寓言:赫拉克勒斯与雅典娜
Hercules and Pallas
Hercules, once journeying along a narrow roadway, came across a strange-looking animal that reared its head and threatened him. Nothing daunted, the hero gave him a few lusty blows with his club, and thought to have gone on his way. The monster, however, much to the astonishment of Hercules, was now three times as big as it was before, and of a still more threatening aspect. He thereupon redoubled his blows and laid about him fast and furiously; but the harder and quicker the strokes of the club, the bigger and more frightful grew the monster, and now completely filled up the road. Pallas then appeared upon the scene. "Stop, Hercules," said she. "Cease your blows. The monster's name is Strife. Let it alone, and it will soon become as little as it was at first."
THE PURCHASER of a black servant was persuaded that the color of his skin arose from dirt contracted through the neglect of his former masters. On bringing him home he resorted to every means of cleaning, and subjected the man to incessant scrubbings. The servant caught a severe cold, but he never changed his color or complexion.
What's bred in the bone will stick to the flesh.

A BULL finding a lion's cub asleep gored him to death with his horns. The Lioness came up, and bitterly lamented the death of her whelp. A wild-boar Hunter, seeing her distress, stood at a distance and said to her, "Think how many men there are who have reason to lament the loss of their children, whose deaths have been caused by you."
