--正文開始
Have you ever noticed that it seems to take forever for water to boil if stand in front of the stove waiting?1⃣This is the source of the expression “a watched pot never boils,” which means that when you want something to happen, paying close attention will make the wait seem much longer. Ex: Don’t just sit there next to the phone waiting for Lisa to call—a watched pot never boils.
不知道你有沒有注意到,煮水的時候你要是一直站在爐火前等,這等待的時間彷彿就像永遠一樣長?這種感覺正好是諺語a watched pot never boils「某事是急不得的」的由來,意思是:當你越希望某件事情能發生,給它越多關注,那件事情就似乎越晚才會發生。如:Don’t just sit there next to the phone waiting for Lisa to call—a watched pot never boils.(不要只是坐在電話旁邊等麗莎打給你──心急吃不了熱豆腐。)
Pots and kettles left on the stove for a long time tend to turn black. So if the pot calls the kettle black, well, the pot is probably black too. 2⃣ So this idiom is used to describe people criticising another person for a fault they have themselves. Ex: Robert accused me of being selfish—talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
要是把鍋跟煮水壺放在爐火上越久,顏色就會變深變黑。所以如果鍋子笑水壺黑,嗯,鍋子自己也是黑的啊。因此,諺語the pot calls the kettle black就是「五十步笑百步」的意思:Robert accused me of being selfish—talk about the pot calling the kettle black!(羅伯罵我自私──拜託,他是五十步笑百步好嗎!)
When you prepare meat to make a stew, you cut it up into tiny pieces and put in the pot. 3⃣ So the phrase “go to pot” came to mean “deteriorate, decline, be ruined.” Ex: Their business went to pot during the recession.
如果你要燉肉,你會把肉切成小塊再放入鍋裡,因此入鍋(go to pot)延伸有「毀壞、衰弱、完蛋」的意思,像是:Their business went to pot during the recession.(經濟蕭條期間,他們的公司也一起完蛋。)
4⃣But not all pots are made for cooking—like chamber pots, for example. You’d have to be pretty poor not to be able to afford a chamber pot, so if someone “doesn’t have a pot to piss in,” it means they’re very poor. Ex: Steve can’t lend you the money—he doesn’t have a pot to piss in.
不過呢,並非所有的鍋子都是用來煮飯的──像便壺(chamber pot)就不是。便壺這種東西,除非你是非常窮,否則不太可能買不起,因此,如果你說某人doesn’t have a pot to piss in(沒有便壺可小便),就是在暗示那個人非常窮困。如:Steve can’t lend you the money—he doesn’t have a pot to piss in.(史提夫不可能借你錢──他自己都窮到快被鬼抓走。)

美國生活用語:The Red Vegetables 跟紅色有關的蔬菜🥕
你知道叫某人 a ginger 是什麼意思嗎?
來看看今天的美國生活用語就會知曉~
ps. 絕對不是很辣的意思喔
1⃣ (sb.) a carrot-top
2⃣ (sb.) a ginger
3⃣ as red as a beet
--
You may have noticed that there are some bright-colored vegetables out there. It shouldn’t be surprising, therefore, that some of these vegetables would be used in descriptive idioms.
你或許有注意到,有些蔬菜的顏色特別亮眼,不過這其實沒什麼好意外的,而不免俗地,這些蔬菜當然也出現在美語中。
Carrots, for example. 1⃣ If you were to call someone a carrot-top, what would that mean? It would mean they have red hair! You may be thinking, “But aren’t carrots more orange than red? This is true, but lots of redheads have hair that’s more orange then red, and they’re still called “redheads,” right? There’s even a famous American comedian called Carrot Top (his real name is Scott Thompson). Ex: Our two sons are blond, but our daughter is a carrot-top.
拿 carrot 紅蘿蔔來說,如果你叫某人 carrot-top「紅蘿蔔頭」是什麼意思呢?就是在說他們有頭紅髮!你或許會想:「可是紅蘿蔔是橘色,不是紅色的啊?」是沒錯,但實際上許多紅髮人的髮色與其說是紅色更多是橘色,可他們還是被叫 redhead「紅髮」,是吧?甚至有個知名美國喜劇人就叫 Carrot Top(他的真名是史考特湯普森)。例句:Our two sons are blond, but our daughter is a carrot-top.(我們兩個兒子雖然是金髮,但我們女兒是紅髮。)
2⃣ What if you call someone a “ginger”? It also means they’re a redhead! If you cook with ginger, you may wonder why the word has this meaning. After all, ginger root has more of a yellow or brown color. On the other hand, things like gingerbread men and candied ginger both have a reddish-brown color. But the real answer lies in the ginger plant, which has bright red flowers. Worth mentioning is that some people may consider the term “ginger” offensive, so be careful when using it. Ex: Why are there so many gingers in Ireland?
要是你叫某人ginger呢?也是在說他們有頭紅髮!如果你有用薑煮菜的習慣,你就會很好奇,為什麼ginger會有這一層意思,畢竟,薑再怎麼樣不是黃色就是褐色,不過薑餅人或薑糖的外表倒是紅褐色的。不過,真正的答案,其實是在薑這個植物本身:因為薑花是亮紅色的。值得注意的是,有些人會認為ginger這個字有歧視意味,所以使用時務必小心。如:Why are there so many gingers in Ireland?(為什麼愛爾蘭有這麼多紅頭髮?)
Finally we have the beet. You probably know that beets are red, but they’re even redder when you cut them open, and the juice is even redder still. 3⃣ So if you say someone is “red as a beet,” it means they’re very red. The phrase is most often used to describe someone who is flushed with embarrassment, but can also describe a person who is red from heat or sunburn. Ex: Tommy turned red as a beet when the girl kissed him.
最後我們來談甜菜。你大概知道甜菜是紅色的,當你把甜菜切開,裡面更紅,而用它們做成的果汁更紅!所以,如果你說某人red as a beet「紅得跟甜菜一樣」,表示他們真的很紅。這個片語常用來形容某人因尷尬而臉紅的樣子,也能形容晒傷後的皮膚。如:Tommy turned red as a beet when the girl kissed him.(女孩親了湯米之後,他的臉紅得像甜菜一樣。)
