English is a crazy language. 英语里有许多非常好玩的单词。它们的词意和表明上看起来的完全没有关系。都有哪些个怪词,让我们赶快来瞧一瞧。

鸡蛋和茄子没什么血缘关系;苹果和凤梨的长相差距很大。
English muffins werent invented in England or French fries in France.

蜜饯不是肉,是甜的;杂碎是肉,不是甜的。
We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
流沙其实流得很慢;拳击台是方形的;实验用的小豚鼠的老家不是几内亚,长相和猪属于两种型。
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites?
胖瘦截然相反,可后面跟着chance就都变成机会渺茫聪明人改一个词,就沦落为自作聪明的人。
How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?
Look和see是近义词,但oversee监视,overlook意思怎么就是忽视呢;A lot和a few是反义词,但与quite连用,怎么都表示很多的意思呢!
