25.Have you ever heard an English idiom(習(xí)語(yǔ)),understood every word used in it,but still been confused about what it meant?Don't worry.Native speakers experience this too.And there's a good reason for it:Idioms get their meanings from how they are used.Here are some of the strangest English idioms.
If someone tells you that something really "gets their goat",it doesn't mean that a farm animal has been stolen!Instead,it means that something terrible really annoys them.While it's not certain,some people believe this phrase comes from a horse racing tradition in which people would keep goats with horses before a race to keep them calm.
Another strange animal donkey's phrase is "donkey's years",used in British English to describe a very long time.This expression may come from a joke about the ears of a donkey,which are quite long. "Donkey's ears" was changed to "donkey's years" for talking about time.
The phrase "cold turkey" has got nothing to do with the bird,or its temperature.Instead,to go "cold turkey" means stopping using or doing something suddenly.For instance,Jim ate too much junk food and gained a lot of weight as a result.Finally,he just went cold turkey.It's possible that the phrase comes from an older sense of "cold" which means "straightforward",and "talk turkey ",a 19th century phrase about talking plainly. (1)The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refers to
. A.native speakers B.donkey's ears C.English idioms (2)What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.English farmers prefer using phrases. B. "Getting their goat" is used in the horse racing. C.English idioms have their history background. (3)How does the writer explain the phrase "cold turkey"?
A.Something terrible makes people donkey's years. B.People have already been here for donkey's years. C.Eating too much junk food often takes donkey's years.
