【每日潮词】“纽约的一分钟”有多长
A New York minute is an instant. Or as Johnny Carson once said, it's the interval between a Manhattan traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking his horn.
“纽约一分钟”指的就是一瞬间。或者就像约翰尼•卡森说过的,它是从曼哈顿交通信号灯变绿到后面那辆车的司机按喇叭催你快走的那一小段极为短暂的时间。
It appears to have originated in Texas around 1967. It is a reference to the frenzied and hectic pace of New Yorkers' lives. A New Yorker does in an instant what a Texan would take a minute to do.
这一说法好像是1967年左右起源于美国德克萨斯州的。当时这一说法暗指纽约人急促忙乱的生活节奏。一个德克萨斯人花一分钟做好的事情,一个纽约人一转眼就做好了。

#小雅带你学英语# 说起英语,你第一个想起的是英国还是美国?对于美式英语和英式英语,你更爱哪个?[并不简单]想知道美式和英式英语有什么不同吗?[笑而不语]
It’s difficult to make clear distinctions between US and UK accents when there is such a wide variety of accents within both the US and UK. A Texan and a New Yorker are both Americans, but have very different accents. The same goes for British accents in London, Manchester and Glasgow.
要区别清楚美式英语和英式英语是很困难的,因为美国和英国都各自有着各式各样的口音。德克萨斯人和纽约人都是美国人,但是他们的口音也是相当不同的。对于英式口音也一样,在伦敦、曼彻斯特和格拉斯哥的口音也是不一样的。
However, some very general distinctions can be made. Americans usually pronounce every “r” in a word, while the British tend to only pronounce the “r” when it’s the first letter of a word.
然而,(美式英语和英式英语)也有一些一般的区别。美国人会读出单词里的每个“r”音,而英国人则倾向于只发单词中的第一个“r”音。
