<p> 标题：美国习惯用语-第430 <span word="the">the</span> <span word="whole">whole</span> <span word="shooting">shooting</span> <span word="match">match</span>...</p><p> 内容：</p><p> 今天我们要讲的习惯用语是包罗万象。</p><p> 当然, 这不是说这一课要把所有的习惯用语都包括在内, 而是说今天要谈的习惯用语的意思都是“一古脑儿统统在内，”而且它们有个共同的词: <span word="whole">whole</span>。</p><p> 大家一定知道, <span word="whole">whole</span>这个词就解释为“全部的。” 我们要学的第一个习惯用语是：<span word="the">the</span> <span word="whole">whole</span> <span word="shooting">shooting</span> <span word="match">match</span>。</p><p> <span word="Shooting">Shooting</span> <span word="match">match</span>原来的意思是射击比赛。</p><p> 打枪是早年在美国新大陆谋生所必不可少的本领, 因为他们既需要猎取野物, 又得用枪防身。</p><p> 而且在当年的荒山野地里射击还是唯一的消遣娱乐活动, 人们常常会集到一块儿来进行<span word="shooting">shooting</span> <span word="match">match</span>, 看谁的枪法最准, 而奖品则往往是火鸡或猪。</p><p> 所以<span word="shooting">shooting</span> <span word="match">match</span>还是当年拓荒生活的一大盛举。</p><p> 然而我们不清楚为什么<span word="the">the</span> <span word="whole">whole</span> <span word="shooting">shooting</span> <span word="match">match</span>被用来表示“全部, 一切，” 只知道从 1750年前后起, 人们就这样说了。</p><p> 听个例子吧。</p><p> 这段话说的是个有钱的老人。</p><p> 他的亲戚们眼巴巴地盼望着分他的遗产。</p><p> 我们要听听当他果真去世后, 却发生了什么。</p><p> 例句-1：<span word="At">At</span> <span word="least">least</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="dozen">dozen</span> <span word="relatives">relatives</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="smiles">smiles</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="faces">faces</span> <span word="came">came</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="hear">hear</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="lawyer">lawyer</span> <span word="read">read</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="will">will</span>. <span word="Imagine">Imagine</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="shock">shock</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="hear">hear</span> <span word="he">he</span>'<span word="d">d</span> <span word="left">left</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="whole">whole</span> <span word="shooting">shooting</span> <span word="match">match</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="young">young</span> <span word="lady">lady</span> <span word="friend">friend</span>.他说：至少有一打亲戚都满面笑容地赶来听律师宣读遗嘱, 当听到他把遗产一古脑儿全给了他那年轻的女朋友时候, 他们简直象遭到晴天霹雳一样。</p>
