David and Goliath [gəˈlaɪəθ]源自圣经故事的以弱胜强的故事 The Philistine army had gathered for war against Israel. The two armies faced each other, camped for battle on opposite sides of a steep valley. A Philistine giant measuring over nine feet tall and wearing full armor came out each day for forty days, mocking and challenging the Israelites to fight. His name was Goliath. Saul, the King of Israel, and the whole army were terrified of Goliath. One day David, the youngest son of Jesse, was sent to the battle lines by his father to bring back news of his brothers. David was probably just a young teenager at the time. While there, David heard Goliath shouting his daily defiance and he saw the great fear stirred within the men of Israel. David responded, "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of God?" So David volunteered to fight Goliath. It took some persuasion, but King Saul finally agreed to let David fight against the giant. Dressed in his simple tunic, carrying his shepherd's staff, slingshot and a pouch full of stones, David approached Goliath. The giant cursed at him, hurling threats and insults. 2. tweezers镊子 ravioli [,rævi'əuli] 意大利饺子 amp = amplifier功放 A subwoofer (or simply "sub")低音炮 is a woofer, or a complete loudspeaker, which is dedicated to the reproduction of low-pitched audio frequencies (the "bass指低音输出, 或低音歌手"). doof doof: Dance or techno music, usually played loudly in P (Australian Probationary License) plater cars.
