2016-09-28 08:03:48之前都是回答字辯的問題比較多，這次來主動分享幾個我覺得有趣的字
這些應該是課本不會出現的，你可以猜猜看可以怎麼表達嗎？
鬥雞眼 O型腿 魚尾紋 香港腳
先別急著翻頁，先一個一個猜猜看吧！
鬥雞眼 cross-eyed a.
例句 The attacker is described as about 25, cross-eyed, 5ft 7ins,
with broad shoulders and chubby.
O型腿 bowlegged or bow-legged a.
像弓一樣的彎腿，注意後面的ed要發 i短母音或ə
這個leg當動詞時的過去式和當形容詞的ed型發音規則不同，像是
belove, learn有類似的情況，不過這是另一個課題了
例句 Wow! That dude sure is bowlegged. His knees curve outward
further than his shoulders are wide! (Urban Dictionary)
魚尾紋 crow's-foot n. 兩隻眼睛都有當然是 crow's-feet 複數
注意crow發音是 o母音，不是wow的au
例句 Botox has been making a lot of headlines for its use in
cosmetic procedures to reduce frown lines and crow's-feet.
香港腳 athelete's foot n. hmm這個倒是沒有聽過在用複數的
例句 Athlete's foot, known medically as tinea pedis, is a common
skin infection of the feet caused by fungus. (Wikipedia)
Many people will have athlete's foot at some time throughout
their life. (NCBI)
