bread and butter的三种用法
1.据《美国地域英语词典》(The Dictionary of American Regional English)记载,bread and butter是两个人一起走路忽然被别人或某件东西分开时所使用的感叹词。
如果一对情侣在林荫道上携手漫步,突然一个莽撞的小孩从他们中间跑过去,冲散了二人,那女友可能就会娇嗔地要求男友:“快说bread and butter!”这句简单的补救语也许蕴涵着这样的祈望:“我们会像面包加黄油那样永不分离。”
2.Bread是面包的意思,butter是黄油的意思,面包和黄油都是西方人经常吃的东西,bread and butter连在一起在英语也有生计,主要收入来源的意思。
例如:a bread-and-butter job.
一份糊口的工作
3.bread and butter还可以指一种工作或一个行业的基本业务。比如说农民,他们大部分时间都在耕种和收获。这就是他们工作的bread and butter.
例如:Household appliances 1 are the company's bread-and-butter goods.
家庭用具是这家公司的主要商品

n.器具,器械,装置( appliance的名词复数 )
  • Dish washer is one of the appliances. 洗碗机是家用电器的一种。 来自《简明英汉词典》
  • You can buy refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, and other appliances there. 在那里可以买到冰箱、炉具、洗碗机和其他家电产品。 来自朗文快捷英语教程 1
