“蛋糕”加“走路”,凭什么能表达“小菜一碟”?

from 早餐英语|实用英文口语

“蛋糕”加“走路”,凭什么能表达“小菜一碟”?不少小伙伴看到 “cakewalk” 这个表达可能会困惑,“cake” 是蛋糕,“walk” 是行走,字面直译好像是 “蛋糕行走”,听起来既奇怪又难以理解!先来听一下它的英文解释:If you say something is a cakewalk, you mean it is very easy to do or achieve.如果你说某件事是 a cakewalk,意思就是这件事做起来轻而易举,毫不费力,就可以用 cakewalk 来形容。这个词的起源可以追溯到19世纪美国南方黑人的一种舞蹈比赛,叫“蛋糕步”,走步姿态最优雅的人能赢得一块蛋糕。后来演变成一种游园会里的趣味竞赛游戏,因为没什么难度,所以“cakewalk” 逐渐引申为“极其简单的事”。它在日常口语中使用频率很高,带有一点轻松、不屑或鼓励的语气。“cakewalk” 翻译成中文可以是:小菜一碟、轻而易举的事、不在话下、易如反掌。After climbing that mountain, this hill is a cakewalk.爬过那座山之后,这个小山坡根本不在话下。The exam was a cakewalk. I finished it in half an hour.这场考试简直是小菜一碟,我花半小时就做完了。原声再现Three hours is a cakewalk if you love what you're doing.三个小时对你来说小菜一碟,如果你热爱正在做的事情的话。Because he must think that this is going to be some kind of a cakewalk.因为他一定认为这是一件很容易的事。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
