Chapter 52 wood lettering

Dear Xiaowen: Did you receive the letter to you on the 2nd?Since the letter and card you sent on December 15th last year, I have not received any letter from you. Is it because you are too busy with homework?You'd better write every week. The Chinese word "wood" has some words related to people and animals: Puppets (puppets) are puppets. Puppet shows are like puppet shows. They are called puppet shows in English, and they can be seen on TV.There is often the word a puppet government in English, which is a curse for a government without sovereignty. Wooden people - people with no expression. This kind of person's face is called "poker face". Vigorously.The wooden man also refers to a fool, a stupid fellow, an idiot.

Mummy (mummy)-mummy has two meanings, one is mummy, and the other is mummy. It is the ancient Egyptians who kept the dead from decomposing.Mummy is a transliteration, and the translation is not accurate, but everyone is used to it. Mummy is also a transliteration, and the translation is accurate. Wooden chicken——It has two meanings in Chinese, one is equivalent to the English wood cock, it is a kind of bird also called "snipe", and the other means to describe people stunned, the idiom is called "as dull as wooden chicken" (as dull as a wooden chicken), but also has the meaning of calling people stupid. ("Wooden cock" was originally a compliment. In an ancient book, it was said that a person trained a fighting cock, and trained the cock to the point of not acting rashly, to the point of being stupefied, and to the point where other chickens are afraid when they see it. It’s not a compliment. It can be seen that people will change, chickens will change, and wooden chickens will also change. The world is changing!) What a coincidence, the English wood cock can also call people stupid.

Trojan horses—there are many Trojan horses. There are Trojan horses in the story of the Trojan horse massacring the city, there are Trojan horses on the sports field, and there are Trojan horses for children.The Greeks attacked the city and hid their soldiers in a wooden horse. This story is very interesting, you can ask the teacher. Wooden cattle and horses - the "truck" invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. Wooden fish - the old monk and the young monk, the old nun and the young nun knocked on the scriptures. Wooden fish——People in southern Anhui are poor. They carve a fish out of wood and put it in the dish to support the scene. Anyway, it can't be eaten, and it can be used forever.This is also meant to be sarcastic.
