英語翻譯
Every person uses his own special words to show his ideas and feelings.Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years.Others are popular for just a short time.One such American expression is 「Where’s the beef 」.It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be.In the early 1980s,「Where’s the beef 」 was one of the most popular expressions in the United States.It seemed as if everyone was using it at that time.
Beef,of course,is the meat from a cow,and no food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef.In the 1960s,a businessman named Ray Kroch began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price.Kroch called his restaurant 「McDonald’s」.Ray Kroch became one of the richest businessmen in America.
Other business people saw his success.Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants.One company called 「Wendy’s」 said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else.The Wendy’s company began to use the expression 「Where’s the beef 」 to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest.The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers.The bread that covered the meat was very big,but inside there was only a bit of meat.One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.「Where’s the beef?」she shouted in a funny way.The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was a success.As we said,it seemed everyone began using the expression 「Where’s the beef?「
解答:
人們用自己獨特的語言表達思想和感受.一些普遍的表達經久不衰,而一些流行的表達只使用在很短的時間裡.例如美國人說:「牛肉在哪兒?」 是想表達事物華而不實.20世紀80年代初,「牛肉在哪兒?」是美國最流行的一種表達,那時幾乎每個人都這樣說.
牛肉當然是牛身上的肉,而且在美國沒有比牛肉漢堡更流行的食物了.20世紀六十年代,一個叫雷·A·克羅克的商人創建了小型餐館,低價出售漢堡.克羅克將他的餐館起名爲麥當勞.雷·A·克羅克成爲當時美國最富有的人之一.
其他的人看見克羅克成功了,他們也開辦了自己的漢堡餐館.其中有個名爲溫迪快餐廳,它說自己的漢堡比麥當勞甚至任何一家的都大.溫迪公司開始用「牛肉在哪兒呢?」這種表達讓人們知道溫迪的漢堡是最大的.溫迪的電視廣告裡有三位老太太在吃漢堡.覆蓋著牛肉的麵包很龐大,但是漢堡裡面的牛肉卻只有一點點.一位老太太說,她絕不吃這樣只有一點點牛肉的漢堡.她搞笑的喊著:「牛肉在哪兒呢?」溫迪公司的這個廣告取得了巨大成功,就如前面提到的那樣,幾乎每個人都開始用「牛肉在哪兒呢?」這種表達.
