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。
