托福口语拓展：The Salt of the Earth

The Salt of the Earth社会中坚;民族精华;优秀份子

The Salt of the Earth这个成语，字面意思“世上的盐”

盐是饮食中不可缺少的调味品，人体若缺盐，健康就会受到影响，出现种.种疾病。盐还有杀菌、解毒、消炎、除污等多种功用，它既是“百药之王”，又是工业之母，确是值得珍视的东西。在许多民族的习俗汇总，盐被当作敬客的高贵礼品.

The Salt of the Earth一词出自《圣经》，据《新约。马太福音》(Matthew)第5长记载：耶稣对他的门徒说:"Ye are the salt of the earth:but if the salt have lost his savor,wherewith shall it be salted? " 在这里，salt用于转义，表示flavor;of the earth即of the world。这是耶稣登山垂训论"福"，所讲福音结尾的话，他把门徒比做“世上的盐”，这是极高的称赞。这句话在后世不断引用变成了一个典故性成语，转义为the most valuable members of sociey;the finest type of humanity;a person or a group of people having the best character 之意.

托福口语拓展：Sell One’s Birthright

Sell One‘s Birthright for a Mess of Pottages因小失大;见利弃义

Sell One‘s Birthright for a Mess of Pottages直译是：“为了一碗红豆汤而出卖了长子继承权”。

《旧约.创世纪》第25章记述了这样一个故事传说：犹太族长以撒的妻子利百加怀孕期间，感觉到2个胎儿在她腹内互相踢打，就去问耶和华，耶和华对她说：“两国在你腹内，两族要从你身上出来，这族必强于那族，将来大的要服小的。”后来，利百加果然生下一对孪生兄弟，哥哥叫以扫，弟弟叫雅各。两兄弟长大后，以扫好动，常外出打猎;雅各则常在家里帮助料理家务。有一天，以扫打猎回来，又饥又渴，看见弟弟雅各在熬豆汤，就对他说：“我饿极了，给我喝点红豆汤吧!”雅各说：“你要喝汤，就把你的长子权卖给我。”以扫说：“你都要饿死了，要这长子权有什么用呢?”于是，他便按雅各的要求，对天起誓，把长子权卖给雅各，换来饼和红豆汤。以扫吃饱喝足后，起身走了。他哪里想到，为了这碗红豆汤，他的后裔便注定要服事雅各的后裔。

由此，人们用to sell one‘s birthright for a mess of pottage短语，来比喻to exchange something of lasting value for something that is of value for a short time only;to suffer a big loss for a little gain.这个成语常缩略为for a mess of pottage的形式。有时也可用to sell one‘s birthrights.

eg:It was argued that joining the Common Market...would be giving away her national rights and advantages for a mess of pottage.

There are many,many people who are willing to prostitute their intelligence for a mess of pottage.
