A horse laugh

是一种表示不信任的嘲笑。

例句-1: \"When this guy running for Congres told us how much money he\'d save us taxpayers, we all gave him the horse laugh. We knew when he was in the state legislature he always voted for higher taxes.\"

这句话翻成中文就是说：“当这个竞选国会议员席位的人对我们说，他会为我们这些缴税的人省多少钱的时候，我们大家都哄堂大笑。我们知道，在他担任州议员的期间，他老是投票赞成提高税收的。”

我们再来举个例子，看看 a horse laugh 在句子里是怎么用的：

例句-2: \"Harry thinks he\'s God\'s gift to women: that none of them can resist his charm. So we all gave him the horse laugh when he asked the new girl in class to go to a movie and she told him to get lost.\"

这句话是说：“哈里总是以为自己具有莫大的魅力，女人们都被他倾倒，他就像上帝恩赐给女人的礼物一样。所以，当他请班里新来的那个女孩去看电影，而被那女孩毫不客气地拒绝了以后，我们都禁不住地嘲笑他。

The last laugh  

最令人满意的笑了。

例句-3: \"I used to laugh at my roommate in college -- he\'d stay in and study on weekends while I went out for a good time. But I guess he has the last laugh on me. He\'s a famous brain surgeon and me, I\'m selling used cars and barely make enough to live on.\"

这个人说：“我过去在大学的时候总是笑话我同宿舍的同学，因为他周末老是呆在学校念书，而我总是出去玩。现在，我猜想他一定很得意地在笑我。他已经成为一个脑外科专家，而我则以卖旧汽车为生，只能勉强糊口。”
