<p>美国习惯用语-第71讲:<span word="To">To</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="hat">hat</span></p><p>要是我们仔细想一想的话，恐怕每个人都有不能兑现自己所说的话的时候，在中文里我们有时把这种现象叫做：食言。英文也有和中文同样的说法，那就是：<span word="to">to</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="words">words</span>。 </p><p><span word="To">To</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="words">words</span>是一个很普遍的俗语。今天我们首先要给大家介绍一个和<span word="to">to</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="words">words</span>相仿的习惯用语。那就是：<span word="to">to</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>。当一个人说<span word="to">to</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>，那就是他十分肯定他说的话是对的，要是他错了，他宁可把自己的帽子给吃了。中文的意思就是：要是他错了，他就不姓张，或不姓李等等。 </p><p>举个例子来说吧：一个密执安大学的研究生王某某对自己的学校感到非常骄傲，他对他的朋友说： </p><p>例句-1: "<span word="Michigan">Michigan</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="football">football</span> <span word="team">team</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="fall">fall</span>. <span word="If">If</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="don">don</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="win">win</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="national">national</span> <span word="championship">championship</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="year">year</span>, <span word="I">I</span>\'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>." </p><p>这个学生说：“密执安大学今年秋天绝对会有一个非常强的足球队。要是我们今年不能获得全国足球赛冠军的话，我就不姓王。” </p><p>下面这个例子是一个姓李的股票商正在对他的顾客说话，预测股票市场的前景。他说： </p><p>例句-2: "<span word="One">One</span> <span word="thing">thing</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="about">about</span>--<span word="playing">playing</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="stock">stock</span> <span word="market">market</span>. <span word="And">And</span> <span word="I">I</span>\'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="hat">hat</span> <span word="if">if</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="doesn">doesn</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="go">go</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="three">three</span> <span word="hundred">hundred</span> <span word="points">points</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="end">end</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="year">year</span>." </p><p>这位股票商说：“有一样东西我还懂得一点，那就是玩股票市场。要是到今年年底股票价格不上升三百个百分点的话，我就不姓李。” </p>
