英語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)一樣都有成語(yǔ)，都譯成idiom，每個(gè)單詞你都認(rèn)識(shí)，但是合到一起的意思你不一定知道在講什么。

除了用法、寓意，有的短語(yǔ)和諺語(yǔ)適合書(shū)面說(shuō)法，有的只在口語(yǔ)中使用，有的涉及比喻，有的源自故事，有的是名人名言，有的英國(guó)人說(shuō)，美國(guó)人不說(shuō)，還有的不同的國(guó)家有不同的說(shuō)法……

所以學(xué)短語(yǔ)和諺語(yǔ)是一件很有趣的事。希望你讀我的系列文章不僅能夠記住這些英文短語(yǔ)和諺語(yǔ)，而且能夠從相關(guān)的故事中體會(huì)到異國(guó)文化，一些書(shū)本上沒(méi)有，生活里必知的知識(shí)。

Chick本意是小雞，在成語(yǔ)里都是對(duì)女性不很尊重的說(shuō)法，很多女權(quán)主義者很不喜歡這個(gè)詞。
