生活口语：你是三明治的一代吗？
<p>有一天一位美国教授给我发来一封<span word="e">e</span>-<span word="mail">mail</span>,说他年迈的老父亲病了，又正值他儿子大学毕业，他一方面要照顾父亲，一方面又要驱车去另外的一个州参加儿子的毕业典礼，同时自己的教学研究任务又特别的重，累得不可开交，恨不得有分身法。于是感慨地说，他是<span word="sandwich">sandwich</span> <span word="generation">generation</span>。意即上有老，下有小。象三明治似的被夹在中间，境况十分窘迫。</p><p>说起来汉语也有“夹心饼干”这样的说法。这样的表达法是借事物的样子来描绘现实，很生动，如我们还可以说：</p><p><span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="busy">busy</span> <span word="today">today</span>,<span word="but">but</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="try">try</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="sandwich">sandwich</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="job">job</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="tea">tea</span>.</p><p>今天我很忙。但我尽力在喝完茶后挤出时间去做那件事。</p><p>我们还可以说，<span word="Wooden">Wooden</span> <span word="shacks">shacks</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="sandwiched">sandwiched</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="modern">modern</span> <span word="blocks">blocks</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="flats">flats</span>.意思就是“矮小的木屋被挤在一排排现代化的高楼大厦之中。”</p><p>所以，再听到有人说自己是<span word="sandwich">sandwich</span> <span word="generation">generation</span>，别误以为人家是吃三明治长大的哦。</p><p>英语口语资料“绝密版” 免费赠送活动进行中</p>
