<p> 在1999年1月<span word="CET">CET</span> <span word="Band">Band</span> 6<span word="A">A</span>卷的阅读理解第四篇的开头有这样一句话：<span word="The">The</span> <span word="Carnegie">Carnegie</span> <span

<span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="people">people</span>是让所有的学生学到所有实用的东西吗?</p><p> 首先，我们看一下<span word="all">all</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="people">people</span>?原义是什么：<span word="all">all</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="people">people</span>?来自于<span word="all">all</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="men">men</span>(<span word="Bible">Bible</span>)。原文如下：</p><p> <span word="Though">Though</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="free">free</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="belong">belong</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="man">man</span>，<span word="I">I</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="myself">myself</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="slave">slave</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="everyone">everyone</span>，<span word="to">to</span> <span word="win">win</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="possible">possible</span>. <span word="To">To</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Jews">Jews</span>，<span word="I">I</span> <span word="became">became</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="Jew">Jew</span>，<span word="to">to</span> <span word="win">win</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Jews">Jews</span>....<span word="To">To</span> <span word="those">those</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="having">having</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="law">law</span>，...<span word="so">so</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="win">win</span> <span word="those">those</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="having">having</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="law">law</span>.<span word="To">To</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="weak">weak</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="became">became</span> <span word="weak">weak</span>，<span word="to">to</span> <span word="win">win</span> <span word="the">the</span>

word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="men">men</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="possible">possible</span> <span word="means">means</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="might">might</span> <span word="save">save</span> <span word="some">some</span>.</p><p> 从上文中我们可以看出<span word="be">be</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="men">men</span>的意思是：八面玲珑，尽力讨好所有的人。后来<span word="all">all</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="men">men</span>成了习语。因此<span word="many">many</span> <span word="colleges">colleges</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="tried">tried</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="beall">beall</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="people">people</span>?的意思就是：许多大学试图做到八面玲珑，满足所有师生的各种需求。</p><p> 此外，在六级阅读考试中也出现过《圣经》中其它的习语，如：在 1997年1月的<span word="CET">CET</span> <span word="Band">Band</span> 6<span word="A">A</span>卷的阅读理解第四篇第三段中： <span word="Ridiculous">Ridiculous</span> <span word="beliefs">beliefs</span>?<span word="Not">Not</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="people">people</span>，<span word="especially">especially</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="women">women</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="members">members</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="minority">minority</span> <span word="races">races</span> <span word="who">who</span>，<span word="like">like</span> <span word="Coleman">Coleman</span>，<span word="feel">feel</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="scales">scales</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="dropped">dropped</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span>.<span word="the">the</span> <span word="scales">scales</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="dropped">dropped</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span>?也源于《圣经》：<span word="Immediately">Immediately</span>，<span word="something">something</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="scales">scales</span> <span word="fell">fell</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="Sauls">Sauls</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span>，<span word="and">and</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="see">see</span> <span word="again">again</span>.，后来<span word="the">the</span> <span word="scales">scales</span> <span word="fall">fall</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="ones">ones</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span>成了习语，英文的意思是：<span word="someone">someone</span> <span word="suddenly">suddenly</span> <span word="realizes">realizes</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="truth">truth</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="having">having</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="deceived">deceived</span>恍然大悟;顿然觉醒。例如：<span word="After">After</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="saw">saw</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="video">video</span>，<span word="the">the</span> <span word="scales">scales</span> <span word="fell">fell</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span>：<span word="she">she</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="deceiving">deceiving</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="time">time</span>.看完录像后，我才恍然大悟，明白了她一直在骗我。</p>
