英语成语翻译与成语故事
1. give a lick and a promise 敷衍搪塞
这条成语直译为“先舔一下再做承诺”。它出自一则英国民间传说。至少两个世纪以前有一只猫，它的脸常常脏得很，每当别的猫要它洗脸时它就用舌头很快舔一下，然后保证说下次一定弄干净，但实际只是敷衍了事。后来这个说法就被用来表示“工作马虎、敷衍搪塞”。例如：
You didn’t wash your hands; you just gave them a lick and a promise. (你根本没洗手，只不过敷衍了事。)
2. bury the hatchet1 偃旗息鼓
字面意思是“埋下斧子”。北美殖民时期，英国殖民者残忍地屠杀印地安人，其歼灭方式惨无人道。有的被放在柴堆上活活烧死，有的剥下死难者的头皮，谁剥的多，谁的功劳最大。他们有时为了欺骗和麻痹印地安人，也会和某个部落讲和。在和谈仪式上，印地安人会把斧头埋在地下表示休战和解，因为对于印地安人来说，斧头是他们主要的武器，这种方式比任何条款都更有意义和约束力。
