详细解说

3.详细解说
1.“fan”意为“爱好者,狂热者,迷”,其复数形式是“fans”,也就是大家通常所说的“粉丝”。虽然汉语中常会说“我是…的粉丝”,但是不可直译成“I'm the fans of...”,要注意单复数的区别,正确的说法应为“I'm a fan of...”。“a fan of...”意为“…的爱好者,…的迷”,也可以说成“...fan”,例如:He's a big fan of Elvis Presley.(他是猫王艾尔维斯·普莱斯利的超级歌迷。)Thousands of football fans queued to buy tickets.(有数千名球迷排队买票。)
2.“afterwards“是副词,也可以写成“afterward”,意为“稍后,之后”,例如:She died not lon2 afterwards.(她之后不久就去世了
。)Afterwards,I was asked to write a book.(后来,我被要求写一本书。)

西方人为什么不喜欢“13”

13这个数字被西方的一些国家和民族视为不吉利的凶数。那么西方人为什么会忌讳“13”?传说很多,其中有两种说法较为普遍:
其一,传说耶稣受害前和弟子们共讲了一次晚餐。其中有一个弟子叫犹大(Judas),就是这个犹大为了30块钱,把耶稣出卖给犹太教当局,致使耶稣受尽折磨而死。因为参加最后晚餐的是13个人,所以“13”被认为是不幸的象征。
其二,希腊神话中说,在哈弗拉宴会上,出席了12位天神。宴会进行之中,一位不速之客——烦恼与吵闹之神洛基,忽然闯来了。这第13位来客的闯入,招致天神宠爱的柏尔特葬送了性命。
因为忌讳,一般的西方人都会千方百计地避免和“13”接触。在荷兰,人们很难找到13号楼和13号的门牌u他们用“12A”取代了13号。在英国的剧场,你找不到13排和13座。法国人则聪明地把剧场的1 2排和1 4排之间设计为人行通道。此外,人们还忌讳1 3日出游,更忌讳13人同席就餐。
不仅普通人,名人也惧怕“13日”。据说每当13日,歌德总是睡大觉,拿破仑绝不用兵,俾斯麦不签署任何条约,即使是不触动任何人根本利益的文件,他也不愿签字。
