人們認(rèn)為選擇他的名字作為除舊迎新的第一個(gè)月月名，很有意義。英語January，便是由這位守護(hù)神的拉丁文名字January演變而來的。
February——2月每年2 月初，羅馬人民都要?dú)⑸嬀?，歡慶菲勃盧姆節(jié)。這一天，人們常用一種牛、草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子，抽打不育的婦女，以求懷孕生子。
這一天，人們還要懺悔自己過去一年的罪過，洗刷自己的靈魂，求得神明的饒恕，使自己成為一個(gè)貞潔的人。英語2月February，便是由拉丁文Februar-ius（即菲勃盧姆節(jié)）演變而來。
March-----3月3月，原是羅馬舊歷法的1 月，新年的開始。凱撒大帝改革歷法后，原來的1月變成3月，但羅馬人仍然把3 月看做是一年的開始。
另外，按照傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣，3月是每年出征遠(yuǎn)戰(zhàn)的季節(jié)。為了紀(jì)念戰(zhàn)神瑪爾斯，人們便把這位戰(zhàn)神的拉丁名字作為3月的月名。

但梯比里烏斯沒有同意，他明智地對(duì)大家說，如果羅馬每個(gè)皇帝都用自己的名字來命名月份，那么出現(xiàn)了第13個(gè)皇帝怎么辦？于是，11月仍然保留著舊稱Novem，即拉丁文“9”的意思。英語11月November便由此演變而來。
3.英語單詞及其故事
Suffolk PunchThe Suffolk Punch, also historically known as the Suffolk Horse or Suffolk Sorrel,[1] is an English breed of draught horse. The breed takes the first part of its name from the county of Suffolk in East Anglia, and the name "Punch" from its solid appearance and strength.[2] It is a heavy draught horse which is always chestnut in colour, although the colour is traditionally spelled "chesnut" by the breed registries. Suffolk Punches are known as good doers, and tend to have energetic gaits.The breed was developed in the early 16th century, and remains similar in phenotype to its founding stock. The Suffolk Punch was developed for farm work, and gained popularity during the early 20th century. However, as agriculture became increasingly mechanised, the breed fell out of favour, particularly from the middle part of the century, and almost disappeared completely. Although the breed's status is listed as critical by the UK Rare Breeds Survival Trust and the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, there has been a resurgence in interest, and population numbers are increasing. As well as being used for farm work, the breed pulled artillery and non-motorised commercial vans and buses. It was also exported to other countries to upgrade local equine stock. Punches generally stand 16.1 to 17.2 hands tall (65 to 70 inches/165 to 178 centimetres),[3], weigh 1,980 to 2,200 pounds (900 to 1,000 kg),[4] and are always chestnut in colour. The traditional spelling, still used by the Suffolk Horse Society, is "chesnut" (with no "t" in the middle of the word).[1] Horses of the breed come in many different shades of chestnut, ranging from dark to red to light.[5] Suffolk horse breeders in the UK use several different colour terms specific to the breed, including dark liver, dull dark, red and bright.[6] White markings are rare and generally limited to small areas on the face and lower legs.[7] Equestrian author Marguerite Henry described the breed by saying, "His color is bright chestnut – like a tongue of fire against black field furrows, against green corn blades, against yellow wheat, against blue horizons. Never is he any other color."[8]The Suffolk Punch tends to be shorter but more massively built than other British heavy draught breeds, such as the Clydesdale or the Shire, as a result of having been developed for agricultural work rather than road haulage.[9] The breed has a powerful, arching neck; well-muscled, sloping shoulders; a short, wide back; and a muscular, broad croup. Legs are short and strong, with broad joints; sound, well-formed hooves; and little or no feathering on the fetlocks.[4] The movement of the Suffolk Punch is said to be energetic, especially at the trot. The breed tends to mature early, be long-lived, and is economical to keep, needing less feed than other horses of similar type and size.[10] They are hard workers, said to be willing to "pull a heavily laden wagon till [they] dropped."[11]In the past, the Suffolk was often criticised for its poor feet, having hooves that were too small for its body mass. This was corrected by the introduction of classes at major shows in which hoof conformation and structure were judged. This practice, unique among horse breeds, resulted in such an improvement that the Suffolk Punch is now considered to have excellent foot conformation.[3][12]HistoryThe Suffolk Punch registry is the oldest English breed society.[13] The first known mention of the Suffolk Punch is in William Camden's Britannia, published in 1586,[14] in which he describes a working horse of the eastern counties of England that is easily recognisable as the Suffolk Punch. This description makes them the oldest breed of horse that is recognisable in the same form today.[13] They were developed in Norfolk and Suffolk in the east of England, a relatively isolated area. The local farmers developed the Suffolk Punch for farm work, for which they needed a horse with power, stamina, health, longevity, and docility, and they bred the Suffolk to comply with these needs. Because the farmers used these horses on their land, they seldom had any to sell, which helped to keep the bloodlines pure and unchanged.[7]The foundation sire of the modern Suffolk Punch breed was a 15.2 hand (62 inches/157 centimetres) stallion foaled near Woodbridge in 1768 and owned by Thomas Crisp of Ufford.[14] At this time the breed was known as the Suffolk Sorrel.[15] This horse was never named, and is simply known as "Crisp's horse".[1] Although it is commonly (and mistakenly) thought that this was the first horse of the breed, by the 1760s, all other male lines of the breed ha。

：詞匯、語音和語法是構(gòu)成語言的三大要素.其中，詞匯是思維概念的基本單位，也是語言的基本構(gòu)成單位，掌握好一門語言首先必須掌握一定量的詞匯.如何學(xué)好英語單詞，能夠以較少的精力、較快的速度、較好的效果來大量識(shí)記英語單詞，迅速擴(kuò)大詞匯量，這與有效的學(xué)習(xí)方法有密切關(guān)系. 希臘、羅馬神話和《圣經(jīng)》是西方文化的重要組成部分，其影響已滲透到整個(gè)西方社會(huì)的各種意識(shí)形態(tài)領(lǐng)域，對(duì)英語的發(fā)展同樣產(chǎn)生重大影響，尤其是英語詞匯的發(fā)展.另外，很多英文單詞與中國成語一樣，來源于某些典故，在英語里，從地理和時(shí)間的名稱、科技術(shù)語，到日常對(duì)話、文學(xué)作品等，源于這些典故的詞匯、短語和習(xí)語比比皆是.如果我們能夠了解這些單詞背后的故事，那對(duì)我們記憶它是有很大幫助的.。
