日用品英语趣说之bell铃

Bell 铃 You may know the famous Christmas song“ jingle bells.”.Imagine the scene in your mind as you sing it：a sleigh is riding swiftly on the snow，its small bells jingling merrily all the way. What a joyful Christmas picture it is ！ The interesting phrase“bell the cat ”comes from an Aesop fable. The mice were all agreed that it was a good idea “to bell the cat”，that is ，to attach a bell around the neck of the cat. In that way they could always know where the cat was and could escape easily. But none of them offered to do it. So the phrase means “do something dangerous, especially for common interest. ”Now let's make a sentence with it.：“Your suggestion is very good， but the problem is who is going to bell the cat”. 你可能知道“铃儿响叮当”这首著名的圣诞歌曲。设想一下你唱它的时候，脑海里所呈现的景象：雪橇在雪地里奔驰，它的小铃儿一路上欢快地响。这是一幅多么快乐的圣诞图景 ！ bell the cat，这个有趣的短语来自伊索寓言。众老鼠一致认为在猫的脖子上挂个铃铛，bell the cat是个好主意，因为这样一来，他们就会始终知道猫在哪儿而便于逃避，但是没有一只老鼠愿意去做这件事情。因此这个短语的意思就是“特地为众人利益，去做危险的事情”。现在咱们用它来造一个句子：你的建议挺好，问题是谁挺身而出去做呢！
