更新时间：
A number of English expressions using numbers.
Now, the VOA Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
Last week, I told about the number one.& Today, I will tell about expressions using other numbers.
Some problems are difficult to solve. But there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one.& It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.&
Sometimes there are no two ways about it.& Some problems have only one solution. You cannot be of two minds over this.&
But with any luck, we could solve the problem in two shakes of a lamb's tail.& We could have our answers quickly and easily.
Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don't make a right.& If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
If you are going out with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go along on your date.& You can just say to your friend: two's company, three's a crowd.&
When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three R's.& These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic.& These three words do not all start with the letter "R."& But they have the sound of "R."& My teachers used to give three cheers when I did well in math.& They gave praise and approval for a job well done.&
Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their schoolwork. They were at sixes and sevens.& In fact, they did not care if they finished high school.& They saw little difference between the two choices.& Six of one, half a dozen the other C that was their position.& But they were really happy when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine.&&
Nine times out of ten, students who do well in school find good jobs.& Some work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs.& You do not have to dress to the nines, or wear your best clothes, for this kind of work.
Last year, one of my friends applied for a better job at her office.& I did not think she would get it.& I thought she had a hundred to one shot at the job.& Other people at her office thought her chances were a million to one.&& One reason was that she had been caught catching forty winks at the office.& She slept at her desk for short periods during the day.& But her supervisor appointed her to the new job at the eleventh hour -- at the very last minute.& I guess her lucky number came up.&

Now, the VOA
Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
Last week, I told
about the number([ˈnʌmbə],数字) one.
Today, I will tell about expression_r_rs using
other([ˈʌ&ə],其它的)
problems([ˈprɔbləms],问题) are
difficult([ˈdifikəlt],困难) to
solve([sɔlv],解决). But there
are a lot of number expression_r_rs that can help. For example, if we
put two and two together(根据事实推理), we might
come up with(得出) the right answer([ˈɑ:nsə],答案). We know
that two heads are better than one(三个臭皮匠顶一个诸葛亮). It is
always([ˈɔ:lweiz],总是) better
to work with another person to solve a problem.
Sometimes there
are no two ways about it(别无办法). Some
problems have only one solution([səˈlu:ʃən],解决方法). You
cannot be of two minds(三心二意) over this.
But with any luck,
we could solve the problem in two shakes of a lamb’s
tail(马上). We could have our answers quickly and
Sometimes we can
kill two birds with one stone(一石二鸟,一举两得). That is, we
can complete([kəmˈpli:t],完成)
two goals([ɡəuls],目标) with only
one effort([ˈefət],努力) or
action([ˈ&kʃən],行动). But we
must remember([riˈmembə],记得) that
two wrongs don't make a right(错上加错不等于正确,怨怨相报). If
someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to
If you are
going out with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, you do not want
another friend to go along(陪同) on your
date([deit],约会). You can
just say to your friend: two's company, three's a
crowd(二个是伴,三人太多).
When I was a young
child in school, I had to learn the three
R's(作为初等教育基础的)读、写、算).&
These([&i:z],这些) important
skills([skils],技能) are
reading, writing and arithmetic([əˈriθmətik],算术).
These three words do not all start with the letter "R." But they
have the sound of "R." My teachers used to(过去常常)
give three cheers([tʃiəz],欢呼) when I did
well in math. They gave praise([preiz],赞扬) and
approval([əˈpru:vəl],赞同) for a
job well done(做得好).
Some of my friends
were confused([kənˈfju:zd],糊涂的,迷惑的)
and did not understand their schoolwork. They were at
sixes and sevens(乱七八糟). In fact, they did not care
if(是否) they finished high school. They saw little difference
between the two choices. Six of one, half a dozen the
other(半斤八两) & that was their
position([pəˈziʃən],位置). But
they were really happy when they completed([kəmˈpli:tid],完成)
their studies and graduated([ˈɡr&djuitid],毕业) from
high school. They were in seventh heaven(欢天喜地). They
were on cloud nine(极乐,九霄云上).
Nine times out of
ten(十之八九), students who do well in school find good jobs.
Some work in an office doing the same things every day at
nine-to-five(朝九晚五) jobs.
You do not have to dress to the nines(穿着非常时髦华丽),
or wear your best clothes, for this kind of
Last year,
one of my friends applied([əˈplaid],申请) for a
better job at her office. I did not think she would get it. I
thought([θɔ:t],think的过去时,想)
she had a hundred to one shot(百分之一的可能,可能性很小) at the
job([dʒɔb], 工作). Other
people at her office thought her chances were a
million to one. One reason([ˈri:zən],理由) was that
she had been caught([kɔ:t],catch的过去分词)
catching forty winks([wiŋks],眨眼)(打瞌睡)
at the office([ˈɔfis],办公室). She
slept([slept],sleep的过去时,睡觉)
at her desk for short periods([ˈpiəriəds],一段时间)
during([ˈdjuəriŋ],在...期间) the
day(白天). But her supervisor([ˈsju:pəvaizə],管理者)
appointed([əˈpɔintid],指定,委任) her
to the new job at the eleventh hour(最后时刻) -- at
the very last minute. I guess her lucky number came
up(运气来临).
