An Interesting English Class Today our English teacher told us a lot of words easy to be misunderstood.We looked at those words began to guess their meanings in Chinese,but the real answer was not the same with our speculation. We learned a new knowledge by the way of interacting with the teacher , This is just some of them,do you know the real meaning of these words? dead president = dollar 美钞(印有逝去的总统) bus boy =Part-time people 兼职的人 busy boy =put one's finger in another's pie 多管闲事的人 mad doctor =a psychiatrist 精神科医生 blind date 相亲 sweet water =potable water 可直接饮用的水 confidence man =fraud 骗子 criminal lawyer 刑事律师 service station=gas station 加油站 rest room= toilet 厕所 horse sense=common sense常识 black art=hex 妖术 white man = honest man 诚实的人 green hand=rookie 新手 blue stocking =bel-esprit 才子 Greek gift 害人的礼物 English disease 软骨病 If according to the Chinese meaning directly translate these sentences are very interesting, but it's wrong to do so.On the contrary,we should really understand them to learn English well.
