死板的规定 hard and fast rules
<p>今天要讲的习惯用语里都是以<span word="hard">hard</span>这个词为主的。<span word="Hard">Hard</span>和其他英语的词汇一样，有好几种解释。在我们今天要讲的几个习惯用语里<span word="hard">hard</span>这个词的意思是&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;很难对付。</p><p>现在来讲第一个习惯用语：<span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="fast">fast</span>。<span word="Fast">Fast</span>这个词一般是指&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;速度很快，但是在<span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="fast">fast</span>这个习惯用语里，<span word="fast">fast</span>的意思刚好相反;它是指一样东西紧紧地附在某一样东西上。这个习惯用语常引申为&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;很难改变的。下面我们来举个例子。这是一个学生刚离开家去上大学。他正在告诉他老家的一个朋友，他对这所大学的看法：</p><p>例句-1：<span word="I">I</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="it">it</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="subject">subject</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="learn">learn</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="teachers">teachers</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="great">great</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="don">don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="fast">fast</span> <span word="rules">rules</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="students">students</span>. <span word="They">They</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="old">old</span> <span word="fashion">fashion</span> <span word="rules">rules</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="strict">strict</span>, <span word="like">like</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bunch">bunch</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="old">old</span> <span word="men">men</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hundred">hundred</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="ago">ago</span>.</p><p>我很喜欢这个学校。它提供的课程正是我要学的。而且我认为我的老师们也都非常好，但是我不喜欢要学生遵守的那些死硬规定。那些都是过了时的规定，而且还很严格。它们好像是一些老头在大约一百年前制定的。</p><p>从这个例句我们就可以知道，<span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="fast">fast</span>这个习惯用语是指那些很死板不灵活和很难改变的东西。</p><p>&<span word="nbsp">nbsp</span>;</p><p>&<span word="nbsp">nbsp</span>;</p><p>我们现在来讲我们今天要讲的第二个习惯用语：<span word="to">to</span> <span word="play">play</span> <span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>。<span word="Ball">Ball</span>在这里指的是棒球，它虽然小但是非常硬。用球棒可以把这个球打到一百米那么远的地方。在棒球比赛的时候，球员往往用球棒使劲击打这个球。他们都带着很厚的皮手套来接球。要是一个棒球打中一个人的话，它会把这个人打倒在地，甚至造成重伤。现在<span word="to">to</span> <span word="play">play</span> <span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>这个说法已经不仅仅在打棒球时使用了。过去三十年来，它在商业和政治界都用得很多，意思是，为了达到一个目的而采用很激进甚至很残酷的行动。下面我们来举个例子，这个人在讲美国西部一个州为竞选州长而激烈竞争的事情。</p>
