    英语俚语:I am from MissouriI am from Missouri.

    这句话有时后面要加一句:「I need to be shown.」或「You have got to show me.」,意思是 Missouri 州的人很固执 (stubborn),不太信任别人,一定要人家「证明一下」(prove it to me),所以密苏里州也被称为「The Show Me State」。

    据说这句话所以流行 (尤其在美国中西部) 是因为美国一些名人都住过密苏里州,包括 Harry 1 Truman, Mark Twain, Walt Disney 等。后来老外不轻易相信别人时,就使用这句话。(也有半开玩笑性质) 例如:

    He is not easily convinced because he is from Missouri. (他是来自密苏里州,所以不容易说服他。)Don't try to fool me; I am from Missouri.(You have got to show me.) (别愚弄我,我是来自密苏里州。)We are all from Missouri; we need to be shown.

    As Mr. Smith is a tough guy; he must be from Missouri. (Smith先生是位倔强的人,他一定是来自密苏里州。)(主词可用任何人称代名词 you, he, she, we, they等!



vt.掠夺,蹂躏,使苦恼
  • Today,people feel more hurried and harried.今天,人们感到更加忙碌和苦恼。
  • Obama harried business by Healthcare Reform plan.奥巴马用医改掠夺了商界。
