英语翻译
Every person uses his own special words to show his ideas and feelings.Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years.Others are popular for just a short time.One such American expression is “Where’s the beef ”.It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be.In the early 1980s,“Where’s the beef ” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States.It seemed as if everyone was using it at that time.
Beef,of course,is the meat from a cow,and no food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef.In the 1960s,a businessman named Ray Kroch began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price.Kroch called his restaurant “McDonald’s”.Ray Kroch became one of the richest businessmen in America.
Other business people saw his success.Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants.One company called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else.The Wendy’s company began to use the expression “Where’s the beef ” to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest.The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers.The bread that covered the meat was very big,but inside there was only a bit of meat.One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Where’s the beef?”she shouted in a funny way.The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was a success.As we said,it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?“
人们用自己独特的语言表达思想和感受.一些普遍的表达经久不衰,而一些流行的表达只使用在很短的时间里.例如美国人说:“牛肉在哪儿?” 是想表达事物华而不实.20世纪80年代初,“牛肉在哪儿?”是美国最流行的一种表达,那时几乎每个人都这样说.
牛肉当然是牛身上的肉,而且在美国没有比牛肉汉堡更流行的食物了.20世纪六十年代,一个叫雷·A·克罗克的商人创建了小型餐馆,低价出售汉堡.克罗克将他的餐馆起名为麦当劳.雷·A·克罗克成为当时美国最富有的人之一.
其他的人看见克罗克成功了,他们也开办了自己的汉堡餐馆.其中有个名为温迪快餐厅,它说自己的汉堡比麦当劳甚至任何一家的都大.温迪公司开始用“牛肉在哪儿呢?”这种表达让人们知道温迪的汉堡是最大的.温迪的电视广告里有三位老太太在吃汉堡.覆盖着牛肉的面包很庞大,但是汉堡里面的牛肉却只有一点点.一位老太太说,她绝不吃这样只有一点点牛肉的汉堡.她搞笑的喊着:“牛肉在哪儿呢?”温迪公司的这个广告取得了巨大成功,就如前面提到的那样,几乎每个人都开始用“牛肉在哪儿呢?”这种表达.
