carrot and stick 胡萝卜加大棒；软硬两手骡子通常被认为是极其顽固的动物，可即使是骡子，只要在它前面吊上胡萝卜（carrot），同时在后面用棍棒（stick）抽打，骡子也一定会往前走。
因此carrot and stick常被用来比喻“软硬两手”，有时也作the carrot and the stick。
丘吉尔（Sir Winston Churchill，1874～1965）曾经在1943年会见记者时用过这一比喻：“We shall operate on the Italian donkey at both ends，with a carrot and with a stick.”（我们将用胡萝卜加大棒使这头意大利蠢驴听话。
）forbidden fruit 禁果；欢乐（尤指男女偷欢）出自《圣经·创世记》“惟有园当中那棵树上的果子，上帝曾说，你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。
”（“But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden，God hath said，Ye shall not eat of it，neither shall ye touch it，lest ye die.”）有这样一句谚语：Forbidden fruit is sweet.（Proverb）（谚）禁果最甜。
a land flowing with milk and honey 富饶之地，鱼米之乡出自《圣经·出埃及记》“And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians，and to bring them up to out of that land unto a good land and a large，unto a land flowing with milk and honey.”（我下来是要救他们脱离埃及人的手，领他们出了那地，到美好宽阔、流奶与蜜之地。
）该习语也作a land of milk and honey，如：America is now the fancied land of milk and honey，but not for every American citizen. 美国现在是人们心目中生活富裕的国家，但并非对每个美国公民都是如此。
have egg/jam on/over one’s face形象受损害；出丑人在吃鸡蛋或果酱时不小心弄到脸上而自己却不知道，看起来就会有点儿可笑，像个傻瓜一样，这就是have egg/jam on/over one’s face原先的含义。
此习语源自美国，后来也被英国英语接受，现多用于口语中，表示“形象受损害；出丑”等，有时也以be left with egg/jam on/over one’s face形式出现，如：The latest scandal has left the government with egg on its face.最近的丑闻使政府形象受到损害。
pie in the sky 渺茫的幸福；无法实现的计划该习语出自美国流行歌手、世界产业工人联盟（IWW）的组织者希尔（Joe Hill，1879～1915）在1911年所作的一首歌曲《传教士与奴隶》（The Preacher and the Slave）。
他在歌中写道：You will eat，bye and bye，/In the glorious land above the sky！/Work and pray，/live on hay，/You’ll get pie in the sky when you die！（不久你将在天上的圣地就餐，劳作吧，祈祷吧，靠着干草干活，死后你就会有天国的馅饼。
）这几句话是希尔从美国救世军的军歌中引用来的，意在讽刺揭露这个宗教组织的欺骗性。
由此，人们就用pie in the sky喻指“渺茫的幸福；不能实现的承诺”等，如：Their plans to set up their own business are just a pie in the sky. 他们要创办自己公司的计划犹如天上的馅饼，希望十分渺茫。
