美国习语:不信任的嘲笑，令人满意的笑了
When this guy running for Congress told us how much money he'd save us taxpayers, we all gave him the horse laugh. We knew when he was in the state legislature he always voted for higher taxes. Harry thinks he's God's gift to women: that none of them can resist his charm. So we all gave him the horse laugh when he asked the new girl in class to go to a movie and she told him to get lost. I used to laugh at my roommate in college -- he'd stay in and study on weekends while I went out for a good time. But I guess he has the last laugh on me. He's a famous brain surgeon and me, I'm selling used cars and barely make enough to live on.
笑是最好的药品。不管这句话对不对，美国大众读物「读者文摘」的一个笑话拦就是用这句话来做标题的。但是，笑并不一定总是显示高兴或快乐。笑这个字，也就是英文里的laugh，在一般情况下都含有褒意，可有的时候却包含一种贬意，类似耻笑、讥笑、冷笑等，这些当然不会是好的药品。今天我们要讲两个由laugh这个字组成的习惯用语，一个是 a horse laugh，另一个是 the last laugh。从这两个词汇中，我们就可以看到laugh这个字在英文里和中文一样具有正反两面的含义。现在，我们先来讲 a horse laugh。Horse就是一头马。A horse laugh在英文里并不是指马在笑。作为一个俗语，a horse laugh是一种表示不信任的嘲笑。下面这个例子是说一些人对某个竞选议员的候选人表示不信任： 例句-1: "When this guy running for Congres told us how much money he'd save us taxpayers, we all gave him the horse laugh. We knew when he was in the state legislature he always voted for higher taxes." 这句话翻成中文就是说："当这个竞选国会议员席位的人对我们说，他会为我们这些缴税的人省多少钱的时候，我们大家都哄堂大笑。我们知道，在他担任州议员的期间，他老是投票赞成提高税收的。" 我们再来举个例子，看看 a horse laugh 在句子里是怎么用的： 例句-2: "Harry thinks he's God's gift to women: that none of them can resist his charm. So we all gave him the horse laugh when he asked the new girl in class to go to a movie and she told him to get lost." 这句话是说："哈里总是以为自己具有莫大的魅力，女人们都被他倾倒，他就像上帝恩赐给女人的礼物一样。所以，当他请班里新来的那个女孩去看电影，而被那女孩毫不客气地拒绝了以后，我们都禁不住地嘲笑他。 下面我们要讲的一个和 laugh 这个字
