4. Ninety-nine 九十九

It sounds like a lot of ice cream to eat, but in Britain it’s only one: a ninety-nine (or 99) is an ice-cream cone made with soft ice cream with a stick of flaky chocolate inserted into it, and a favourite for those who haunt ice cream vans. 99 is a proprietary name in the UK, and the ice cream has been produced by Cadbury’s since at least 1935, but nobody knows the origin of the name. 这个词让人感觉好像有一大堆冰淇淋等着你去吃，事实上，在英国，这种冰淇淋只有一个球：一份“九十九(99)”冰淇淋是指一个冰淇淋甜筒，上面插上巧克力碎末。对那些追逐冰淇淋车的人来说，这款冰淇淋是他们的最爱。九十九在英国是一个专利商品名，吉百利公司从1935年(甚至更早)就开始生产这种冰淇淋，可是没有人知道这个名称的起源。

5. Slider 滑溜溜

As far back as 1915, ‘ice-cream served in a sandwich form between two wafers’ was colloquially known as a slider; whether because the ice cream had slid between wafers or because it slid along surfaces is unknown. 早在1915年的时候，“以三明治的形式夹在两块华夫饼之间的冰淇淋”被人们口头称为滑溜溜。这可能是由于冰淇淋“滑”进了两块华夫饼之间，或者冰淇淋会在两块华夫饼的表面上滑动，究竟原因为何尚不可知 。
