隨著社會(huì)越來(lái)越發(fā)達(dá),大家都選擇在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上汲取相關(guān)知識(shí)內(nèi)容,比如改變的英文(英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法名詞),為了更好的解答大家的問(wèn)題,小編也是翻閱整理了相應(yīng)內(nèi)容,下面就一起來(lái)看一下吧!
改變的英文(英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法名詞)
我們知道,change的意思有“改變,變化”。rest的意思有“休息,放松”?!癮s…as…”的意思是“和……一樣……”。
那大家猜猜看,習(xí)語(yǔ)a change is as good as a rest是什么意思呢?
a change is as good as a rest的意思是“you can get as much good from changing the work you do as from having a rest”,即“改換工作益如休養(yǎng),換個(gè)環(huán)境等于休息”。
這句習(xí)語(yǔ)源于維多利亞時(shí)代。1825年,在《Christian Gleaner and Domestic Magazine》中,有這樣一段話:
It goes as, “Change of work is as good as play.” It may have originated in response to, “All the work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.
上面這段話表明了,change of work is as good as play可以看作是“all the work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”的對(duì)照組。change of work is as good as play就是習(xí)語(yǔ)的a change is as good as a rest前身。
“all the work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”的意思是“工作不玩耍,聰明孩子也變傻”。
而在1857年的一首詩(shī)中,a change is as good as a rest這句習(xí)語(yǔ)首次出現(xiàn)在文本中:
Ye children of Fashion and Wealth,
With countless indulgences blest,
Remember that indolence preyeth on health
A change is as good as a rest.
例句:
As the saying goes,a change is as good as a rest.
就像一句古話說(shuō)的,改換工作益如休養(yǎng)。
Mary drifts from one job to another.A change is as good as a rest.
瑪麗無(wú)目的地更換工作。改換工作益如休養(yǎng)。
