英语里有很多习语都和蛋糕甜品有关，这些和日常生活相关的英语知识学起来并不难哦。 1. piece of cake 大家对这个习语很熟悉啦，和中文里的“小菜一碟”类似，形容非常容易的事情。 The exam was a piece of cake. 考试很简单。 还有一个有趣的习语easy as pie，像做馅饼一样简单，也形容很容易，不费吹灰之力。 2. have your cake and eat it (too) 鱼与熊掌无法兼得，你怎么能吃掉蛋糕而又保有它呢？所以说这个习语多用于否定句。 You can't have your cake and eat it - if you want more local services, you can't expect to pay less tax. 你不能二者兼得——想获得更多的地方服务就不能指望少付税金。 Roger can't make up his mind whether to go to college or get a job. You can't eat your cake and have it, too. 罗杰下不了决心是上大学还是找工作, 两者不可兼得。 3. the icing on the cake icing指的是(糕饼表层的)糖衣，这里是用蛋糕上的糖衣来比喻锦上添花之物。 I was just content to see my daughter in such a stable relationship but a grandchild, that really was the icing on the cake. 看到女儿与女婿的关系很稳定我已感到满足，后来又添了外孙，这可真是锦上添花。 4. as American as apple pie |
