Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Todaywe will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel "Alice inWonderland" in detail.

The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runspast her and says some strange words. Alice chases(追赶) him, andthat is where her adventures begin.

In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue andfinding yourself in a misleading situation.

Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing(令人困惑的)situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested insomething to the point of distraction(分神 ). It often happens by accident and isabout something not that meaningful.

Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy teaparty. Hares(野兔) have tong been thought to behave excitedly in March, whichis their mating(交配) season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be madas a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. Theexpression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, madas a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he

will react(反应) !

Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman whois called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to controleverything and everyone around her.

七.书面表达

Dear editor,

In our country, the number of wild animals is becoming smaller and smaller. Some nearly disappear.

People cut down too many trees and change grasslands and forests into farmlands and houses . All these make wild animals have no places to live in. Some people often kill wild animals for their fur and meat to make money.

I think we must take action to protect wild animals. We shouldn’t cut down trees. We should protect the environment. Anybody mustn’t kill wild animals. I think it is the most useful way to build more and bigger reserves at present.

Yours,

Li Mei
