اصطلاحات با hit

سلام

این هم یک مطلب بسیار مفید درباره اصطلاحات انگلیسی Hit که باز هم از وبسایت VOA انتخاب کردم و فایل صوتی را هم خودم آپلود کردم که برای دانلود مشکل نداشته باشید

Hit is a small word but it has a lot of power.  Baseball players hit the ball.  Missiles hit an airplane.  A car hits a tree.

Hit also joins with other words to create many colorful expressions.  One is hit the road. It means to travel or to leave a place, as suggested in this song, "Hit the Road."

(MUSIC)

Another common expression is hit the spot.  At first it meant hitting a spot at the center of a target with an arrow.  Someone who did so was satisfied with his shooting.  Now, hitting the spot usually means that a food or drink is especially satisfying.

Many years ago, Pepsi Cola sold its drink with a song that began, "Pepsi Cola hits the spot, twelve full ounces, that's a lot…"

Another expression involving hit is hit bottom.  Something that has hit bottom can go no lower.  If the price of shares of a stock hits bottom that might be the time to buy it.  Its value can only go up.

A student who tells you his grades have hit bottom is saying he has not done well in school.

When a student's grades hit bottom it is time to hit the books.  Hit the books is another way to saying it is time to study.  A student might have to tell her friends she can not go with them to the movies because she has to hit the books.

Not hitting the books could lead to an unpleasant situation for a student.  The father or mother may hit the ceiling when they see the low grades.  Someone who hits the ceiling, the top of the room, is violently angry.  A wife may hit the ceiling because her husband forgot their wedding anniversary.

To build something of wood, you usually need a hammer.  That is what you use to hit nails into the pieces of wood to hold them together.  When you hit the nail on the head, exactly on its top, it goes into the wood perfectly.  And when someone says your words or actions hit the nail on the head, he means what you said or did was exactly right.

If you are tired after hitting all those nails on the head, then it is time to hit the hay.  That expression comes from the days when people slept on beds filled with dried grass or hay. Some people slept on hay in barns where they kept their farm animals.

Hitting the hay simply means going to bed. That is a good idea. I think I will hit the hay now.

monkey expressions

سلام به تمامی دوستان عزیز و محترم و تبریک، هر چه دیر، به مناسبت سال نو

برای این پست یک مطلب جالب از VOA انتخاب کرده ام و خبر خوش برای شما دوستان اینکه از این به بعد فایل صوتی مطالب را خودم دانلود و در سرور دیگری آپلود می کنم تا مشکل ف ی ل ت ر ی ن گ نداشته باشید.

Monkeys are very similar to us in many ways. Most have ten fingers and ten toes, and brains much like ours. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us. In fact, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution says that monkeys and humans share a common ancestor.

Songwriter William Gilbert, in the musical "Princess Ida", wrote:

"Darwinian man, though well-behaved, at best is only a monkey shaved."

His words -- sung to Sir Arthur Sullivan's music -- make listeners smile. Well, monkeys make us smile, too, because they are creatures full of playful tricks.

This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts. One of these expressions is monkeyshines, meaning tricks or foolish acts.

The meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other: pulling tails, stealing food, doing tricks. So, when a teacher says to a group of students: "Stop those monkeyshines right now!" you know that the boys and girls are playing, instead of studying.

You might hear that same teacher warn a student not to monkey around with a valuable piece of equipment. You monkey around with something when you do not know what you are doing. You are touching or playing with something you should leave alone.

Also, you can monkey around when you feel like doing something, but have no firm idea of what to do. For example, you tell your friend you are going to spend the day monkeying around with your car. You do not have any job or goal in mind. It is just a way to pass the time.

Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal, activities. A news report may say there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting secret payments from builders.

You may make a monkey out of someone when you make that person look foolish. Some people make a monkey out of themselves by acting foolish or silly.

If one monkey has fun, imagine how much fun a barrel of monkeys can have. If your friend says he had more fun than a barrel of monkeys at your party, you know that he had a really good time.

Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear.

In earlier years in many American cities, you would find men playing musical hand organs on the street. Dancing to the music would be the man's small monkey dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military uniform. So, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit.

ضمایر تاکیدی و بازتابی

سلام دوستان عزیز
متاسفم بابت تاخیر در آپدیت کردن وبلاگ که همه بخاطر مشغله های زیاد کاریست.
امروز می خواهم درباره یکی از نکات مهم گرامری در زبان انگلیسی صحبت کنم،

Reflexive and emphatic pronouns

ضمایر تاکیدی و بازتابی

We use reflexive pronouns:
1. when the subject and object are the same

1. وقتی که فاعل و مفعول یکی باشند

I burnt myself on the stove this morning
من خودم را با اجاق سوزاندم امروز صبح
NOT: I burnt me on the stove this morning

You can help yourselves to drinks
NOT: You can help you to drinks

He blames himself for the accident
NOT: He blames him for the accident

2. to emphasise the subject, meaning "that person or thing and nobody/nothing else"

2. برای تاکید روی یک موضوع، به این معنی که آن شخص یا چیز و نه چیز و یا کس دیگر

"Did someone paint your house?" "No, I painted it myself"
آیا کسی خانه شما را رنگ کرد؟ نه من خودم رنگش کردم
He was planning to ask his assistant to go, but in the end he went himself

نکات مهم: این نکات را حتما در موقع استفاده رعایت کنید

1. We do not use reflexive pronouns after feel, meet, concentrate and relax, and we do not normally use them after wash, shave and dress, unless it is necessary to make it clear who does the action
He finds it difficult to relax
NOT: He finds it difficult to relax himself
When I got up, I washed
NOT: When I got up, I washed myself

Did he shave himself or did he go to the barber?

2. After a preposition, if it is clear that the meaning is reflexive, it is not necessary to use a reflexive pronoun

COMPARE...
He gave the present to him
He gave the present to himself
(we need a reflexive pronoun to clarify who the present is for)

I took my mother with me
NOT: I took my mother with myself
(the only possible meaning is reflexive so we don't use a reflexive pronoun)

3. We can use by + reflexive pronoun to mean alone

She likes to go on holiday by herself

4. We cannot use a reflexive possessive pronoun: We use my / your... own

They all did their own work
NOT: They all did themselves work
