<p> 标题：美国习惯用语-第432 <span word="powder">powder</span> <span word="puff">puff</span>...</p><p> 内容：</p><p> 今天我们要讲的习惯用语有一个共同的关键词: <span word="powder">powder</span>。</p><p> 大家也许知道<span word="powder">powder</span>是粉末。</p><p> 有各种各样的粉末， 例如女士化妆用的香粉， 还有火药或者病人用的药粉等等。</p><p> 在我们要学的第一个习惯用语里的<span word="powder">powder</span>指化妆的香粉: <span word="powder">powder</span>-<span word="puff">puff</span>。</p><p> <span word="Powder">Powder</span>-<span word="puff">puff</span>是粉扑。</p><p> 粉扑松松软软，是美容化妆用品， 但是<span word="powder">powder</span>-<span word="puff">puff</span>作为习惯用语却另有两种不同的意思。</p><p> 我们听个例子来琢磨它指什么。</p><p> 这是位男士在评论女子篮球运动。</p><p> 例句-1：<span word="I">I</span> <span word="thought">thought</span> <span word="women">women</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="basketball">basketball</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="powder">powder</span>-<span word="puff">puff</span> <span word="sport">sport</span> <span word="until">until</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="went">went</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="see">see</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="sister">sister</span> <span word="play">play</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="wrong">wrong</span> - <span word="they">they</span> <span word="dribble">dribble</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="pass">pass</span> <span word="better">better</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="men">men</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="play">play</span> <span word="tough">tough</span> <span word="defense">defense</span> <span word="too">too</span>.原来他看了妹妹打篮球后才知道自己过去对女篮的看法错了， 其实女篮运动员的运球和传球技术胜过男运动员， 而且她们的防守也很过硬。</p><p> 既然他现在有这样的看法， 想必过去他一定认为女篮运动员的球艺不如男子。</p><p> 所以他说: <span word="I">I</span> <span word="thought">thought</span> <span word="women">women</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="basketball">basketball</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="powder">powder</span>-<span word="puff">puff</span> <span word="sport">sport</span>，而<span word="powder">powder</span>-<span word="puff">puff</span> <span word="sport">sport</span>的意思是妇女参加的体育运动，言下之意是难度低，竞争无力的， 含义类似于中国成语“花拳绣腿。”******习惯用语<span word="powder">powder</span>-<span word="puff">puff</span>还有一种意思。</p>
