2、如何記住英文成語(yǔ)俚語(yǔ)和諺語(yǔ)（四）關(guān)于 cock

英語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)一樣都有成語(yǔ)，都譯成idiom，每個(gè)單詞你都認識，但是合到一起的意思你不一定知道在講什么。

除了用法、寓意，有的短語(yǔ)和諺語(yǔ)適合書(shū)面說(shuō)法，有的只在口語(yǔ)中使用，有的涉及比喻，有的源自故事，有的是名人名言，有的英國人說(shuō)，美國人不說(shuō)，還有的不同的國家有不同的說(shuō)法……

所以學(xué)短語(yǔ)和諺語(yǔ)是一件很有趣的事。希望你讀我的系列文章不僅能夠記住這些英文短語(yǔ)和諺語(yǔ)，而且能夠從相關(guān)的故事中體會(huì )到異國文化，一些書(shū)本上沒(méi)有，生活里必知的知識。

Cock這個(gè)詞，雖然也翻譯成公雞，但是充滿(mǎn)諷刺。成語(yǔ)只用于英語(yǔ)，多指驕傲自滿(mǎn)，目中無(wú)人的男性。美語(yǔ)里很少用關(guān)于cock的成語(yǔ)，而是用這個(gè)詞指男性性器官。

= an absurd and improbable story, used as an excuse or explanation無(wú)稽之談，胡說(shuō)八道

例子：When I questioned Wendy about her recent tardiness, she gave me some cock-and-bull story about how her train took the wrong track and she had to hitchhike to work from the station across town.

這個(gè)成語(yǔ)有故事，但跟動(dòng)物無(wú)關(guān)。(1650-1830）很久以前，當人們還趕著(zhù)馬車(chē)旅行的時(shí)候，在倫敦通往英國北部的路上Buckinghamshire有一個(gè)小鎮叫Stony Stratford。小鎮上有兩家旅館，一家叫Cock一家叫Bull。兩家旅館離得很近。很多人旅行的時(shí)候都會(huì )下榻在兩家旅館。喝點(diǎn)兒酒跟當地人聊聊路上的見(jiàn)聞，而當地人也很喜歡聽(tīng)來(lái)自倫敦的故事，但是兩家店以訛傳訛，故事變得越來(lái)越夸張，越來(lái)越讓人難以置信。由此得來(lái)這個(gè)成語(yǔ)。

我理解的是能說(shuō)到但做不到的理論，常用來(lái)指政府的言論：它是一種用于政治科學(xué)和歷史的理論。據說(shuō)，理論表達了對智力和個(gè)人豪言壯語(yǔ)的共同懷疑，在大多數偉人有一個(gè)更加正常的結合懶惰和無(wú)能的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。=It is a theory used in political science and history. It is stated that the theory expresses a common scepticism towards both intellectual and personal pretension, and the view that behind most great men there is a far more normal mixture of idleness and incompetence.

例子：Many journalists have fallen for the conspiracy theory of government. I do assure you that they would produce more accurate work if they adhered to the cock-up theory.
