Learning English grammar and English vocabulary can be hard enough, but trying to understand English sayings can be more difficult. Some are just hard to figure out and others don’t make any sense at all. Here are four funny English sayings that you can use every day.

I’m happy as a clam().

Think of a clam. It doesn’t have to do anything. It just sits on a beach or on the bottom of the ocean all day doing nothing. It never has to work. That sounds like happiness, doesn’t it? If someone asks, “How are you today?” you can answer “I am happy as a clam” to let him or her know what a great mood you are in.

I wouldn’t touch that (or him/her) with a ten-foot pole.

Maybe there is a person who you don’t want to be friends with or even talk to. Well, this saying means that you dislike him or her so much that you don’t want to touch or go near him or her, even within ten feet!

You don’t have a leg to stand on.

?? This saying doesn’t mean that the person you’re talking to has no legs. It means that his or her argument is incorrect. He or she doesn’t have a leg to stand on because he or she has no facts to support what he or she is saying. This saying is a good way to tell people that you think they’re wrong.

??? Break a leg!

??? This saying actually means the opposite of what it sounds like. If you tell this to a person, you’re wishing him or her good luckThe saying comes from a superstition(迷信) that whatever you say aloud, the opposite will come true.

We live on the earth. We use the sea around us. What do we take from the ocean? And what do we give to it?

We take fishes from the ocean—millions of kilograms of fish, every year, to feed millions of people.  1.   We take minerals(矿物) from the ocean. We can get salt by evaporating(蒸发) seawater.  2.    Many other minerals, such as gold, can be also got from the sea, but not by simple evaporation. 3.    Seaweed(海草) becomes food of many kinds— even candy, and ice cream—as well as medicine. Believe it or not, fresh water is another gift from the sea. We can’t drink ocean water.   4.   But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts are removed. In the future, we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water from the sea.

The sea gives us food, fertilizer, minerals, water and other gifts. What do we give the sea? We pollute the ocean all the time.   5.  Throwing waste into the ocean is killing off sea life. Yet as the world population grows, we may need the sea and its gifts more than ever.

We are finally learning that if we destroy our sea, we might also destroy ourselves. Hopefully, it is not too late.
