fish 是“鱼”,wife 是 “妻子”,那 fishwife 是什么?

英语里面很多短语

每个单词我们都认识

但是连在一起就有认知障碍了😂

比如fishwife是什么意思?

1.

fishwife 什么意思?

这是一个习语表示:

“骂街的泼妇,悍妇”

a loud, unpleasant woman

据说以前英国的卖鱼妇人,说话非常粗俗,豪放,

你和她讨价还价半天,不买她的鱼,

她会破口大骂,让你脸面丢尽了。

因此fishwife就成为“泼妇,悍妇”的代名词了。

She was screaming at me like a fishwife.

她对着我大喊大叫,就像个泼妇。

2.

man and wife是什么意思 ?

来看英文词典的解释:

If a man and a woman are man and wife, they are married to each other.

如果一男人和一女人是 man and wife 的关系,

他们已结婚了。

man and wife = 夫妻,夫妇

3.

midwife 什么意思?

英文释义:midwife is a person, usually a woman,

who is trained to help women

when they are giving birth

(助产士,接生员;产婆)

With the help of the midwife, the baby was born successfully.

在助产士的帮助下,胎儿顺利地降生了。
