   apple of love 爱情的苹果


  这个习语源于殖民时期的南美洲。当时在秘鲁的丛林中,生长着一种叫“狼桃”的水果。这种水果色泽光亮、鲜艳,形状和苹果十分相似。但人们认为这种水果是一种毒果,没人敢吃,只把它作为观赏植物加以栽培。后来有人冒着生命危险,勇敢地品尝并证实了它的美味。到了16世纪,英国有一位公爵游历到了秘鲁,非常喜欢这种水果,于是,他把它们带回英国皇宫,作为珍贵的礼品献给他心目中的爱人--当时的英国女王伊丽莎白。这种水果,实际上就是西红柿。从那以后,西红柿在异国他乡的土地上得到广泛种植,被人们称为“爱情的苹果”。如今,这一短语可喻指“爱情的信物”。
  例句:Hey, don't touch that bike. It's my apple of love. 嗨,别动那辆自行车。它可是我的爱情信物。
  It's Greek to me.(我不知道)
  英国人一般都不懂希腊语。这句话的直译是:对于我这是希腊语。自然是不明白的意思。
