《莎翁教你10大常用英语短语.docxVIP

学英语的人都知道，莎士比亚为英语词汇的发展做出了卓越的贡献，我们现在使用的很多词汇和表达都是源于莎翁的作品，比如salad days、green-eyed monster等。今天，我们就为大家盘点出源自于莎士比亚作品的10个常用短语，看过之后会不会立马觉得这些短语高大上了呢？1. Green-Eyed Monster嫉妒How Shakespeare used it:The evil Iago plants doubts in Othellos mind about his wifes 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)莎士比亚原文：邪恶的伊阿古让奥赛罗对妻子的忠心起了疑心，提醒他说，“噢，大人，要小心嫉妒之心！那可是一只绿眼的妖魔，它惯于耍弄爪下的猎物。”(《奥赛罗》，第3幕第3场)现代例句：.... if jealousy wasnt a factor, three out of every four married people were highly satisfied with the emotional facets of their marriage.

Love Is Blind爱是盲目的This phrase has more than one meaning: we overlook flaws in those we love (thats good), but love can blind us to serious issues (thats bad).这个短语的意思是：我们会忽略我们爱的人身上的缺点(这点不错);爱会让我们忽视一些严重的问题(这就不好了)。How Shakespeare used it:In The Merchant of Venice, Jessica is shy about her beloved Lorenzo seeing her disguised as a boy, but recognizes that it wont affect his love for her, saying, But love is blind and lovers cannot see / The pretty follies that themselves commit ...
