2. 新加坡的标志——鱼尾狮。 The Legend of the Merlion What’s Singapore’s icon? It’s the Merlion! It’s an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Long long ago, Singapore was called “Temasek (淡马锡).” One dark night, a storm swept over the villages of Temasek. The villagers got frightened. Suddenly, a large animal came out from the sea. It had a fish body with a lion head. It began to fight the storm. Quickly, the animal won and the sea calmed down.

3. From then on, the Merlion appeared at night, watching over the villages. At dawn, it returned to the sea. One day, the Merlion disappeared. But all the villagers thought that it would return once they were in danger. Now the Merlion legend has become children’s favourite story in Singapore.

4. get cold feet Meaning: to suddenly feel that you are not brave enough to do something you planned to do 临阵退缩，胆怯 Story: 如果某人上台演讲前怯场了，这时候就可以用“get cold feet”来形容此人当时紧张 的心情。这个表达起源于士兵以 手脚冰凉作为理由而不上战场。 凡是重要的场合，人们都有可能 会产生退缩的畏惧心理，就会 “get cold feet”。 Example: Do you get cold feet when you speak in front of your class? 你在全班面前讲话时会怯场吗？
