重要事情说三次（34重要的事情说三遍）

有句流行语叫“重要的事情说三遍”

有句成语叫“事不过三”

还有句俗语叫“三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮”

要说出和“3”有关的词或句子，能罗列一大堆，英语也是如此。

不过，在英语里和3有关的单词可不像汉语“三角形”、“三胞胎”、“三部曲”这么简单，它们很多都有自己独特的写法。但是万变不离其宗，你会发现其中很多单词都与three很相似。

This is all about the number 3

The phrase "Third time's the charm" refers to the superstition that after two failures in any endeavor, a third attempt is more likely to succeed. This is also sometimes seen in reverse, as in "third man [to do something forbidden] gets caught".

1. A flat shape with three straight sides and three angles =a triangle（三角形）

2. Three babies born at the same time from the same mother = triplets（三胞胎）

3. The third month = March （三月）

4. A group of three people or things that do things together =A trio（三人组）

5. He, she or it = third person singular（第三人称单数）

6. Breakfast, lunch and dinner = three meals a day（每日三餐）

7. Melchior, Balthazar and Caspar (The Bible) = the three magi (three wise men)（三贤人）

8. A series of three films or books = a trilogy（三部曲）

9. three goals scored by the same player in the same game =a hat-trick（进3个球，即帽子戏法）

10. Athos, Porthos and Aramis =The Three Musketeers（三个火枪手）

*Athos、Porthos和Aramis是三个火枪手的名字

看完这10个单词，你肯定会问为什么没有“重要的事情说三遍”？

因为最重要的当然放在最后说了：

Repeat important things three times;

Repeat important things three times;

Repeat important things three times.

当然你说太多遍老外会觉得你像是个复读机。

最后提个问题：双倍的英文是double，那你知道三倍的英文怎么说吗？写在评论里吧。
