  大家是不是想到了This is the best thing in the history呢?更地道的表达其实是This is the best thing since sliced bread,这里的sliced bread指“切片面包”。
  [追根溯源]
  1928年,美国开始销售切片面包机,极大地方便了人们的生活。面包是西方人的大爱,他们常会闭上眼睛,一边咽口水一边想:世界上还有比刚出炉的切片面包更好的东西吗?the best thing since sliced bread就引申为“有史以来最好的事情”。
  3.天下没有免费的午餐。

  -There is no such thing as a free lunch. It's just a trick.天下没有免费的午餐。这只是一个伎俩罢了。
