bread and butter 黄油面包,涂有黄油的面包
The bread and the butter 面包和黄油
(butter前有定冠词the。)
我们看个经典作品中的例句:
It was Christmas Eve, and I had to stir the pudding for next day, with a copper-stick, from seven to eight by the Dutch clock. I tried it with the load upon my leg (and that made me think afresh of the man with the load on HIS leg), and found the tendency of exercise to bring the bread and butter out at my ankle, quite unmanageable.
(Charles Dickens, Great Expectations)
那天是圣诞前夕,从七点到八点,我得拿一根捣衣棒搅拌第二天吃的布丁。裤脚管里放着那件累赘,也只好硬着头皮干(裤脚管里那件累赘使我又想起那人腿上的那件累赘),后来渐渐觉得手里这么不停地动,那块黄油面包也快要从裤脚管里溜出来、管不住了。
