上次我們介紹了catwalk (伸展台)
cakewalk又是指什麼?
它當然不是「蛋糕步道」或「蛋糕走路」的意思
而是指一件很容易的事,是個名詞
它的來源是十九世紀末期美國南方黑奴的一種舞蹈比賽
優勝者可獲得一個大蛋糕
後來演變成巡迴遊樂園裡的一個遊戲,用來嘲諷蓄奴者為奴隸舉辦的這種舞會
雖然好玩,但贏的人基本上只要繞圈子走路就可以了
這也是a piece of cake (輕而易舉的事)、takes the cake (獲勝) 這些片語的由來
用來指很輕鬆、很容易做到的事

我們來造些句:

This is a cakewalk for him.
(這件事對他來說很容易。)
Achieving that goal is no cakewalk.
(要達成那個目標可不容易。)
Winning the game was a cakewalk for a seasoned player like her.
(對於像她這樣的老手來說,贏得那場比賽是輕而易舉的事。)
