看到俚語總是一頭霧水嗎？ 明明單字是園級 但直翻意思往往不合邏輯，讓人氣好笑 精選 10 個含有名字慣用語 讓你後聽到這些説法，東猜西猜、滿頭問號！ （仔細地看解釋前，不妨膽猜猜看它們意思哦！）
覺得這説法相當熟悉嗎？沒錯，之前夯電影《星際效應》有提到莫非定律這個概念，它意思是「可能出錯事會出錯」（Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.），覺得繞口、懂嗎？我們日常生活可是充斥著莫非定律哦！是不是常會覺得「每次帶傘會下雨，只要帶傘會下雨」呢？這莫非定律！想避開 Murphy’s Law 只有一個做法，那時時做好準備，迎接有可能出現插曲囉！
Well it’s Murphy’s law. Washing your car usually seems to bring rain. 這莫非定律，你洗完車後會下雨。
相信看過電影 “Dear John” 會知道這是什麼意思囉！Dear John letter 意思是女方寫男方分手信，那麼什麼人名要是 John 呢？是因為 John 美國是個菜市場名，而它用來代指人士或是泛指大眾。人們普遍認為這個詞源自於二戰時期，於當時許多軍人女友不願意長時間獨守空閨而選擇離開，因此大多會用愛意憐惜口氣 “Dear …” 當作寫信開頭表達分手意願。
Kyle didn’t come to class today, for he got a Dear John letter from his girlfriend. 凱爾今天沒來上學，因為他收到了封女友寫他分手信。
想分手但知道怎麼説出口嗎？分手信，你要學學這些超強、超爆笑分手 8 招：
如果有人向你説這句話，可別回答 “Bob’s not my uncle.” 或是 “How did you know his name?”，“Bob’s your uncle.” 源自於歷史上大英帝國擴張版圖時裙帶關係政局，因此它是英式説法，用來形容做事易如反掌，很達到目的。
Don’t worry about the computer. You just change the keyboard and it should work fine. Bob’s your uncle! 擔心你電腦了，只要鍵盤換掉應該會好了，！
亞當蘋果是什麼呢？答案是喉結！因為傳説時亞夏娃偷嚐禁果發現時，亞嘴裡有一口蘋果沒吞下去，上帝懲罰亞讓它哽在喉頭中，因此喉結比喻為 Adam’s apple 囉！
你可以唸唸看這句話，是不是覺得有些呢？許多動作片或是戰爭片裡能聽到兩角色對著無線電説 “Roger that.”，這國際通用通訊語，意思是「收到」，那麼什麼不是 “Jason that” 或是 “Sandy that” 呢？有個説法是 Roger “R” 與 receive（收到）字首，因此 “Roger that.” 代表「收到」意思。
Roger that. I’ll make my own decisions to engage. 知道了，我會照自己判斷作戰。
When Uncle Sam stops buying, interest rates should rise. 美國政府支出購買時，利率會上升。
Joe 與 John 一樣是美國菜市場名，而 average 意思是「水準」，因此 “average Joe” 所代表不過普通人。
To her, I’m just an average Joe. 她來説，我只不過是一個普通人罷了。
如果你想形容一個人是萬事通、什麼會話，那麼 Jack of all trades 沒錯了！有另一種説法，“Jack of all trades, master of none.” 意思是「什麼會，但是」，因此這是個褒貶兼具用法，時候可要多注意一下哦！
