To help with today's authentic English phrase, which is 'donkey's years'.

原来 Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob 拉了一头驴来是为了教我们一个英语表达“donkey's years”。

Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob

The phrase comes from rhyming slang – ‘donkey's years’ rhymes with 'donkey's ears', yes?

Yes.“Donkey's years”和“donkey's ears”听上去是押韵的。

Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob

Now, donkey’s ears are long and when we say we haven't done something for 'donkey's years' we mean we haven't done something for a long time.

原来是这样。“Donkey’s ears 驴的耳朵”和“donkey’s years 驴的年份”听起来很押韵；那么大家都知道驴的耳朵比较长，所以在英语口语里，人们用“donkey’s years”来形容“很长一段时间”。
