听音乐，学英语，欢迎收听周五英语, YOU ARE LISTENING TO FRIDAY ENGLISH! 大家好，我是……，我是……
五月里，经常能看到身着白纱的新娘们，和煦的五月的确很适合盛放婚礼的甜蜜和浪漫。在北美和澳洲，人们会在婚礼几周前，为准新娘 bride to be 举办一场 bridal shower。这个bridal shower可跟淋浴没有任何关系，它是用来让亲朋好友赠送准新娘礼物的一种派对，礼物都是将来小夫妻家庭用得着的。这种习俗始于19世纪90年代，但当时送礼物是为了帮新娘攒嫁妆(dowry),因为新娘有可能家里困难拿不出嫁妆，或是父亲不同意婚事拒绝嫁妆。
国际劳动节，让我们来看看几个与辛勤工作有关的表达吧: work hard put a lot of effort into强调的是 努力，pull yourself侧重的是 给自己施压，labour是不及物动词，多指进行辛苦的体力劳动，beavor away 表示 长时间辛苦坚定的工作，但同样是辛苦的工作，slave away 就强调不情愿，毫无兴趣，像奴隶一样。表达此意思还有toil, work ones finger to the bone的字面意思是 工作辛苦，连手指都露出了森森白骨，极好的表达了人们的抱怨情绪。
有人说学会用英语吵吵架，有助于提高英语口语表达能力，那么且来看一下一些用在争执吵架中的说法吧: stop complaining.别发牢骚了 enough is enough.够了。 dont push me.别逼我。
you have ruined everything.全让你给搞砸了。 mind your own busine.管好你自己吧。 you are nothing to me.你对我什么都不是 i am about to explode.我肺都快要气炸了。 you ask for it.你自找的。 are you insane.你疯了吗？
