Nowadays most cheerleaders are women. 據某些作者稱,美國1877年左右就出現瞭啦啦隊,當時普林斯頓大學的學生們在比賽時站在觀眾席上大聲吶喊口號。如今大多數啦啦隊成員都是女性。 今日短語 這個短語 to give a leg up 的意思是助人一臂之力。 例句 I have a great job in a posh restaurant. My mother gave me a leg up when she taught me to cook French dishes. Mary had an uncle well connected to the business world. It gave her a leg up. 請註意 另一個短語 to pull someone's leg 就是開某人玩笑的意思,比如說些完全捏造或不可能的事情。 What?! You've won a million dollars in the lottery? You are pulling my leg. © |
