   感恩节英语词汇

  The “First Thanksgiving”: 感恩节
  Talk Turkey: 打开窗户说亮话,说实在的
  相传在北美殖民时期,一个白人和一个黑人去打猎,事先说好了平分打到的猎物。结果一天下来只打到一只火鸡和一只鹧鸪。白人心里想要火鸡,但又不敢直接说,于是对印第安人说“如果你要火鸡,我就拿鹧鸪,如果你要鹧鸪,我就拿火鸡”,印第安人一听就明白了,于是针锋相对地说:“你一直在讲火鸡,现在让我也讲讲火鸡吧!”于是talk turkey 演变成“打开窗户说亮话,说实在的,坦诚地说话”的意思了。
  例:
  1. If you are willing to talk turkey, the dispute between us can be easily settled.
  如果你愿意实实在在地说话,那么我们之间的争端就可以很容易地解决。
  2. Generally he is an easy-going person, but when it comes to religious belief he talks turkey.
  一般来说,他是一个随和的人,但一谈到宗教信仰,他就正经起来。
  其它词汇:
  have a turkey on (one's) back: 1、喝醉酒 2、吸毒
  red as a turkey cock: 气的满面通红
  swell like a turkey cock: 气势汹汹的发作
  Thanksgiving dinner 感恩节正餐
