英语与汉语是完全不同的两种语言，所以在翻译的时候不能逐字逐句去翻，因为以英语为母语者与我们看问题的角度不一样，因此造成了表达方式的不同。如隐形眼镜，我们说“隐形”，是因为一个人戴着隐形眼镜是不容易被看出来的，但英语说contact lenses，直译是“接触镜片”，因为他们认为隐形眼镜是跟眼睛直接接触的。
另一个例子是，我们说被淋成了“落汤鸡”，而以英语为母语者说a drowned rat，直译是“被淹过的老鼠”，这也印证了他们跟我们看问题的角度不一样。
但是，无论是隐形眼镜与contact lenses，还是落汤鸡与a drowned rat却有着密切的逻辑共性，这是不言而喻的，这就导致了一些“英雄所见略同”（great minds think alike）的例子，但这是很少见的，除非是巧合，如
火上浇油
与
add fuel to the fire
macmillan english dictionary – american这样解释add fuel to the fire：“to make a bad situation even worse by saying or doing something that makes someone angry”，这与中文几乎是一一对应的。
我们今天要讲的“舔屏”，也属于上面所说的那种巧合，它对应的英语是
lick one's screen
或
lick the screen
与中文的“舔屏”完全对应。
如果想说哪位帅哥或美女想让你舔屏，就是
that guy/girl has me licking my (computer/cell phone) screen!
或
that guy/girl is screen-licking.
这是因为我们形容什么东西（如鸡翅）很好吃的时候，有finger-licking的说法。

1. check your screen size. all you have to do is find a blank space on your desktop, and use the right-hand mouse button to click on it. a menu will appear, and you want the 'properties' option. this opens a new window which has several tab options at the top, select 'settings' and you will see your current screen size in the bottom right-hand corner.
2. choose the appropriate windows link for your screen size from the options on the totp pop wallpaper page. this will launch a browser window which contains your chosen picture at the relevant size.
3. use the right-hand button on your mouse to select the picture, then pick the 'set as wallpaper' option from the menu which appears
4. you now have your very own totp pop wallpaper. nolicking the screen!

campaigners say children are encouraged to eat unhealthily by advertising
5 july 2016 last updated at 12:54 bst
the charity cancer research uk is launching a campaign against junk food tv ads.
it says the rise in childhood obesity is a huge concern and a growing epidemic, and it's "clear the restrictions already in place during children's tv shows aren't enough".
children in oxfordshire were asked how they reacted to the ads. one said he wanted to "lick the screen".

what dish has you licking your fingers: simply labeled "combo" on the menu, it comes with two pieces of white- or dark-meat fried chicken, a waffle, a syrup, a dipping sauce for the chicken, a side and a drink for $14. the chicken is golden brown, with an extra crisp coating that separates easily from the skin beneath it, and the meat is so moist, it falls off the bone. this will make it easy to strip the chicken from the bone, place it in the waffle and create a chicken and waffle burrito. if you choose to go that route.

（蟹老板注解：下面的finger-lickin'是一种缩读，意思是finger-licking，但发音相当于finger-lickin，是一种美国英语中常见的发音现象）
