Here below we will talk about the American expressions using the word “Dutch”. Many of the “Dutch” expressions heard in American English were first used in England in the seventeenth century. Britain used to be called “empire on which the sun never sets”,which gained its supreme(至高无上的) power mostly by its naval(海军的 )military forces. The period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars was a time of fierce naval competition between England and the Netherlands. At that time, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad, or false, or mistaken.

A “Dutch agreement” was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. “Dutch courage” was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking alcohol. And “Dutch leave” was what a solider took when he left his base(基地)without permission.

Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning. “Dutch treat” is one example. Long ago, a Dutch treat was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share.

Another common expression heard a few years ago was “in Dutch”, which simply referred to the country then. Nowadays, if someone says to you, you are in Dutch, they are telling you that you were in trouble. An important person, a parent or teacher perhaps, is angry with you.

Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all. In the 1700s, Germans who moved to the United States often were called Dutch. This happened because of mistakes in understanding and saying the word “Deutsch”, the German word for German. Families of these German people still live in the eastern United States, many in the state of Pennsylvania. They are known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.

During the American Civil War, supporters of the northern side in the central state of Missouri were called Dutch, because many of them were German settlers. In California, during the Gold Rush, the term Dutch was used to describe Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians as well as people from the Netherlands.

President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anything foreign and non-English was called Dutch.One expression still in use, “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”, did come from the Dutch.The Dutch were known for the firm way they raise their children. So if someone speaks to you like a Dutch uncle, he is speaking in a very severe way. And you should listen to him carefully.

1.According to paragraph 1, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad and mistaken because ___________.

A.it was the long-lasting habit of the British language.

B.the Netherlands was the closest rival(竞争对手) for naval supremacy then.

C.there was a close connection between “Dutch” and “Deutsch”.

D.anything foreign and non-English was called “Dutch”.

2.Most probably, a man with Dutch courage would _________.

A.invite his friends to dinner.

B.beat a strange passer-by without any reason.

C.speak to a Dutch uncle.

D.become angry with the teacher.

3.Which one of the following has nothing to do with the Dutch?

A.The expression “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”.

B.When friends go out to have fun, they choose Dutch treat.

C.Germans who moved to the United States were called Dutch.

D.A solider took “Dutch leave” during wars.

4.What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A.Language causes of the Anglo-Dutch Wars

B.Language of the Netherlands

C.Deutsch VS Dutch

D.Dutch expressions in American English

     One day I took several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker to be mended. After a week I went to take them back. Four months later, my husband and I were invited to dinner. I took out a pair of shoes. I hadn't worn them since they were mended. I put

one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. But I felt that the other one was on the wrong foot. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were nearly the same style (ʽ��), colour and size, but each was for the right foot. Then I

thought of the shoemaker. Though I was sure he wouldn't remember me after such a long time, I called him.  "Thank goodness you called me at last!"  He said happily.  "An angry woman has been troubling me for months!"

Here below we will talk about the American expressions using the word “Dutch”. Many of the “Dutch” expressions heard in American English were first used in England in the seventeenth century. Britain used to be called “empire on which the sun never sets”,which gained its supreme[至高无上的] power mostly by its naval military forces. The period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars was a time of fierce naval competition between England and the Netherlands. At that time, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad, or false, or mistaken.

A “Dutch agreement” was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. “Dutch courage” was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking alcohol. And “Dutch leave” was what a solider took when he left his base[基地] without permission.

Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning. “Dutch treat” is one example. Long ago, a Dutch treat was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share.

Another common expression heard a few years ago was “in Dutch”, which simply referred to the country then. Nowadays, if someone says to you, you are in Dutch, they are telling you that you were in trouble. An important person, a parent or teacher perhaps, is angry with you.

Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all. In the 1700s, Germans who moved to the United States often were called Dutch. This happened because of mistakes in understanding and saying the word “Deutsch”, the German word for German. Families of these German people still live in the eastern United States, many in the state of Pennsylvania. They are known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.

During the American Civil War, supporters of the northern side in the central state of Missouri were called Dutch, because many of them were German settlers. In California, during the Gold Rush, the term Dutch was used to describe Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians as well as people from the Netherlands.

President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anything foreign and non-English was called Dutch. One expression still in use, “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”, did come from the Dutch. The Dutch were known for the firm way they raise their children. So if someone speaks to you like a Dutch uncle, he is speaking in a very severe way. And you should listen to him carefully.

59. According to paragraph 1, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad and mistaken because ___________.

A. it was the long-lasting habit of the British language.

B. the Netherlands was the closest rival for naval supremacy then.

C. there was a close connection between “Dutch” and “Deutsch”.

D. anything foreign and non-English was called “Dutch”.

60. Most probably, a man with Dutch courage would _________.

A. invite his friends to dinner.

B. beat a strange passer-by without any reason.

C. speak to a Dutch uncle.

D. become angry with the teacher.

61. Which one of the following has nothing to do with the Dutch?

A. The expression “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”.

B. When friends go out to have fun, they choose Dutch treat.

C. Germans who moved to the United States were called Dutch.

D. A solider took “Dutch leave” during wars.

A. Language causes of the Anglo-Dutch Wars
