与动物相关的英语习语学习研究英语学习简单中见复杂，习语的学习就是最好的解答，看似简单的动物词汇，在习语中却呈现出不同的意境，对于初中学生来说，如果能加强习语的学习，对于听力、阅读理解将会有着重要的作用。
习语是文化的载体，又是语言的精华。
习语通常包括俚语、俗语、谚语等。
其表现形式音节优美，音律协调，或含蓄幽默，或严肃典雅，形象生动，给人一种美的享受。
一个人，特别是一个说外国语时使用习语的人，人们会记住不忘！因为一个好的习语比几十个普通词汇更令人难以忘记！而英语作为全世界通用语言，有着种类繁多的习语，在英语的许多习语中都包含了大量的动物词汇在里面，如：狗、猫等。
在了解英语习语的同时也增添了学习的趣味性，那么就从我最喜欢的“狗”来开始我们的“动物之旅”吧！1、dog――狗狗是所谓的“人类最好的朋友”，这就是为什么许多西方人拒绝进食，所以西方人对狗有极其哀怜的情感，在很多习语中也用dog来表达：You are a lucky dog.你真幸运，to help a lame dog over a stile助人于危难；Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion.宁为鸡头，勿为牛后。
2、cat――猫猫在中国人眼里总是跟温顺可爱联系在一起。
在西方国家，猫有了多种喻义：邪恶、自由、生命力等。
同样的，猫在英语习语里也表达着不同的含义，如谚语：cat out of the bag.泄漏天机，The cat shuts its eyeswhen stealing.掩耳盗铃；A cat has nine lives.猫有九命。
3、鸟鸟对人类的贡献是众所周知的。
而在英语习语中，“鸟”这个词同样起着不可或缺的作用，下面的几个常见的习语就说明了这一点：Birds of a feather flock together.物以类聚，人以群分；Fine feathers make fine birds.人要衣装，马要鞍；The early bird catches the worm.捷足先登；其他一些用bird来表达的习惯用语还有：eat like a bird食量小；a home bird 喜欢呆在家里的人；Songbird女歌唱家等等。

An Introduction to English Idioms about AnimalsThis article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of English idioms that involve animals, their meanings, and usage.下面是本店铺为大家精心编写的3篇《An Introduction to English Idioms about Animals》，供大家借鉴与参考，希望对大家有所帮助。
《An Introduction to English Idioms about Animals》篇1 Idioms are a fascinating part of any language, and English is no exception. English idioms, in particular, are widely used in everyday conversation, literature, and other forms of communication. Many of these idioms involve animals, either directly or indirectly. In this article, we will explore some of the most common English idioms that feature animals and examine their meanings and usage.1. "Barking up the wrong tree"This idiom is often used to describe someone who is pursuing the wrong course of action or targeting the wrong person. It originates from the behavior of dogs, who sometimes bark at trees when they cannot find the source of a noise or scent. Example: "You"re barking up the wrong tree if you think you can solve this problem by blaming others."2. "As quiet as a mouse"This idiom is used to describe someone or something that is very quiet or silent. It is thought to originate from the behavior of mice, which are known for their quiet and stealthy nature.Example: "He was as quiet as a mouse while he was studying for his exam."3. "Like a fish out of water"This idiom is used to describe someone who is out of place or struggling to adapt to a new environment. It is believed to originate from the difficulty that fish experience when they are removed from water.Example: "He felt like a fish out of water during his first day at a new job."4. "Birds of a feather flock together"This idiom is used to describe people who tend to associate with others who are similar to them, often in terms of character or interests. It is thought to originate from the behavior of birds, who often flock together based on shared characteristics or purposes.Example: "They say birds of a feather flock together, andit"s true – he only hangs out with people who are just like him."5. "As blind as a bat"This idiom is used to describe someone who is unable to see or understand something, often due to a lack of information or knowledge. It is believed to originate from the fact that bats are unable to see, relying instead on their senses of hearing and touch to navigate.Example: "He was as blind as a bat to the obvious signs that she was interested in him."6. "To have a monkey on one"s back"This idiom is used to describe someone who is burdened by a problem, addiction, or guilt that they cannot escape from. It is thought to originate from the idea of a monkey climbing onto someone"s back and refusing to let go.Example: "He"s been trying to shake off the monkey on his back for years, but it just won"t go away."These are just a few examples of English idioms that involve animals. There are many others, such as "to fly like a bird," "to be as slippery as an eel," and "to have a lion"s share." All of these idioms have their own unique meanings and usage,and they are an integral part of the English language.《An Introduction to English Idioms about Animals》篇2 An Introduction to English Idioms about AnimalsIdioms are a fascinating and integral part of the English language. They are fixed phrases that have a specific meaning, often based on a metaphor or a symbolic reference. English idioms about animals are particularly interesting because they tap into our collective imagination and experiences with these creatures.
