Good morning, everyone! It's time for Morning Cheese English.
今天的茄子早安英语和您分享的是“Square the circle 化圆成方” 这个说法源于古代希腊几何学的一道作图问题,由于长久以来一直没能找到题解,所以人们现在用 “square the circle” 或 “square a circle” 来比喻 “做一件很难办到,甚至是不可能的事”。
例句
Julian wanted a new, fast sports car at a low price! I told him he was trying to square a circle!
赵彦想便宜购买一辆又新又快的跑车。我告诉他这是不可能的!
Douglas tells Grace, you can’t have a stable office job while being a world traveller. You’re trying to square the circle!
狗哥和小雅说,想在做一名环游世界旅行者的同时有一份稳 定的工作是非常困难的。你这是在做不可能的事。
