生活英语|a land flowing with milk and honey 富饶之地，鱼米之乡

a land flowing with milk and honey 富饶之地，鱼米之乡

源于《圣经出埃及记》And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians， and to bring them up to out of that land unto a good land and a large， unto a land flowing with milk and honey.（我下来是要救他们脱离埃及人的手，领他们出了那地，到美好宽阔、流奶与蜜之地。）该习语也作a land of milk and honey，如：

America is now the fancied land of milk and honey， but not for every American citizen.

美国目前是大家心目中生活富裕的国家，但并不是对每一个美国公民都是这样。

have egg/jam on/over ones face 形象受损害；出丑

人在吃鸡蛋或果酱时不小心弄到脸上而自己却不了解，看着就会有点儿可笑，像个傻瓜一样，这就是have egg/jam on/over ones face原先的意思。此习语来源于美国，后来也被英国英语同意，现多用于口语中，表示形象受损害；出丑等，有时也以be left with egg/jam on/over ones face形式出现，如：

The latest scandal has left the government with egg on its face.

近期的丑闻使政府形象遭到损害。
