再寻FRIENDS高人啊,处处都是哦.RODEO是什么意思呢在FRIENDS里面多处出现过呢,下上文如下:Scene:A Hospital Reception,Monica and Pete are there.]
Spokeswoman:...has become the penicillin of the twenty-first century.And so today,this hospital is about to take major steps toward leading that revolution.It is truly ironic,on one hand consider the size...
Pete:(to Monica) Hey,can I ask you something?
Monica:Sure.
Pete:Where are we?
Monica:(looks around) Well,with all these doctors and nurses,m gonna say,midget rodeo.
Pete:Just tell me the truth.
这里有可能就是开玩笑的说他们觉得听这样的发言很无聊就好像在跟医生护士玩呢,玩小把戏,玩小游戏之类的意思.小幽默一下吧?
不少人欣赏美国的西部牛仔风格,而rodeo恰恰表示“牛仔竞技表演,骑术表演”.
Rodeo来自西班牙语rodear,表示“四处转悠,走来走去”(go around).它的本义是形容圈牛的圆形场地或者畜栏,牛群被“圈”(rounded up)在一个地方接受清点或检查.
大约1834年,rodeo出现在美语里,表示“围场,把已拢的牛群围在一起的圈地”.直到1914年,才有了现代意义“牧人马术表演”,即一种展示骑马或套牛等技巧的公开表演赛(a contest or exhibition of riding and roping skills).有时候,rodeo也被用来表示“摩托车花式表演”.
Rodeo作动词用时,表示“参加竞技”或“(为打烙印而)赶拢牛马”
例如:美国音乐公司Mineral River出版了一本书,书名为“If I Were A Word,Then I'd Be A Song”里收录了比尔.斯坦斯(Bill Staines)的作品“A Cowboy's Hard Times”,里面有这样一段歌词:
I once was a cowboy,and I used to run wild.
And I rodeoed,wrangled,and rambled in style.
But I'm too old for horses,too old for the show,
And I'm too young for Heaven; now where shall I go?
