Many of the expressions using water haven’t enjoyable meanings in English.
“Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got the meaning from throwing hot water down on enemies (敌人) attacking a town. ①That happens no longer, but we still get into hot water.
When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble, serous or not so serious. A person who breaks a rule can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in a house with dirty shoes.
“Water over the dam(水坝)” is another expression about a past event. It’s something that finishes and it cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea - water has run over a dam and it cannot be brought back again. When a friend is troubled by a mistake he has made, you might tell him to forget about it. You can say “It’s water over the dam.”
“Throwing cold water” means “not to like an idea”. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems, but your parents throw cold water on the idea, because they think a new car costs too much.
小题1:阅读短文,并把①处的句子翻译成汉语。
___________________________________________________________________________
小题2:阅读短文,完成下面的句子(每空一词)。
When you say “It’s water over the dam.” to your friend, you want to tell him to __________the __________ he has made.
小题3:用文章中关于“water”的英语短语填空,并使句子通顺。
Your friend invites you to go hiking, but you don’t want to. You can _____________________ on the idea.
答案
小题1:那个故事不再发生了,但我们仍然会陷入困境。
小题2:forget, mistake
小题3:throw cold water
解析
试题分析:短文大意:在英国中使用水表达许多不愉快的意义。如“热水”是五百年前使用的意味着麻烦。 “在水一方”是一个关于过去事件的表达。这件事完成,它不能改变的。 “泼冷水”的意思是“不喜欢”。
小题1:那个故事不再发生了,但我们仍然会陷入困境。
小题2:根据第四段末When a friend is troubled by a mistake he has made, you might tell him to forget about it. You can say “It’s water over the dam.” 可知该在空白处分别填入forget, mistake。
小题3: 根据第五段第一句“Throwing cold water” means “not to like an idea”.可知该填写throw cold water

Shanghai is the biggest city with the largest population in the world. It is also the 小题1: (fast) growing city. Its name means “on the sea”, because it sits on the shores of the East China Sea.

Although we may not always understand, all things happen for a reason.
A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour,”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish(自私的)!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed(平静)down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.” the little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
