<p>美国习惯用语-第149讲:<span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="soup">soup</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="nuts">nuts</span>/<span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="kitchen">kitchen</span> <span word="sink">sink</span></p><p>今天我们要给大家介绍的两个习惯用语都和吃东西有关。我们要讲的第一个俗语是：<span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="soup">soup</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="nuts">nuts</span> 。</p><p><span word="Everything">Everything</span>是所有东西的意思。<span word="Soup">Soup</span>是指喝的汤，<span word="nuts">nuts</span>是指乾果，如花生、核桃等。从字面上来翻译，<span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="soup">soup</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="nuts">nuts</span>它的意思就是：从汤到乾果,什么都有。作为俗语，它的意思也就是：什么都有，但并不一定是指吃的东西。那末，<span word="soup">soup</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="nuts">nuts</span>是指什么呢? 大约一百年以前，美国人每顿饭吃的东西种类要比现在多的多。那时候，到一家高级饭馆去吃一顿饭就可能有七八道菜。首先是喝汤，在正餐前还要吃一点鲜蚝，然后是鱼、鸡等几种肉做的菜，还有蔬菜，糕饼，最后还有奶酪，水果和一碗乾果。<span word="Soup">Soup</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="nuts">nuts</span>就是从这儿来的。可是，像这种吃法早就过时了。美国人现在非常注意不要吃太多脂肪和含胆固醇很高的食品。然而，<span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="soup">soup</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="nuts">nuts</span>这个俗语至今还很流行，但是它已经不是指食品，而是什么都有的意思。我们来举个例子吧：</p><p>例句-1: "<span word="You">You</span> <span word="ought">ought</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="go">go</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="look">look</span> <span word="around">around</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="big">big</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="department">department</span> <span word="store">store</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="opened">opened</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="shopping">shopping</span> <span word="mall">mall</span>. <span word="I">I</span>\'<span word="ve">ve</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="seen">seen</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="different">different</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="buy">buy</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="life">life</span> -- <span word="they">they</span> <span word="sell">sell</span> <span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="soup">soup</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="nuts">nuts</span>."</p><p>这句话的意思是："你得去那个购物中心新开的百货公司去看看。我一辈子也没见过有那末多不同的东西可买，他们出售的东西真是包罗万象，无奇不有。"</p>
