She'd never seen a flower like it before. “I have to have it, ” she said to herself and she ordered it right away.When it arrived, she planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of her yard. It grew vigorously, with very beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she continued to take good care of it. And she also looked forward to enjoying the flowers, but still there were not any.One morning, as she stood looking at the plant, she felt sad. “It grows well, but why don't I see any flowers? ” She wanted to know the reason why her plant had not flowered, but still there was no idea.However, at this moment, her friendly neighbor invited her to his yard and said, “Thank you so much!

Today we will explore (探索) some expressions from Lewis Carroll's famous book Alice's Adventures(奇遇) in Wonderland. This book is better known as Alice in Wonderland.Alice's Adventures in Wonderland came out in 1865. The story is about a young girl falling for a long time down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world.In this strange world are some of the most popular characters in children's books. Many of them, and other expressions from the book, have found their way into American English.The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit is not a usual rabbit. Alice chases(追逐)after him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, “chase a white rabbit” means to chase the impossible dream. “following the white rabbit” means following a quite unreal clue, and it leads you to find yourself in the middle of an unusual situation. This situation often challenges your thoughts and changes your life. And usually we use “fall down the rabbit hole” to mean we get interested in something to turn our attention away. We lose ideas about time. It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.Later in the story, Alice is the guest at a tea party—a crazy tea party! There she meets the March Hare (野兔). The Hare seems to be truly crazy. “To be mad as a March hare” means that someone is completely mad, or crazy.Using expressions from popular books can add a special flavor to your English. And when used properly, they also show that you have a deeper understanding of the culture of the English language. I'm Shirley Carter. Thanks for listening.()37.
