妙趣横生的动物习语
很久以前,狮⼦就被封为万兽,这不仅因为它体格健壮,仪表堂堂,还因为它胆⼤包天,不管哪种动物都不放在眼⾥,所以⼈们常⽤lion来形容“勇猛的⼈,强悍的⼈” "There may come a tim when the lion and the lamb will lie down together, but I am still betting on the lion." 以上是美国幽默作家⽐斯林的作品中的⼀句话,他的作品⽣动传神.上句中的the lion and the lamb will lie down together来⾃圣经⾥的语句the lion lie with the lamb,意思就是“好⼈与坏⼈和平共处”.（the sheep and the goats live together in peace） 英语⾥有⼀个习语the lion's share,意思是"较⼤的份额"（the greater part）,关于该语,伊索⽼⼈有个寓⾔故事要讲: 狮⼦,狐狸和驴⼦合伙去打猎,捕到⼀只公⿅.狮⼦把猎物平均分成4份,狐狸和驴⼦正想去拿属于⾃⼰的那份,不料狮⼦却说,它有特权,先得到其中的⼀份,它的勇猛⽆⽐也应再得⼀份,它的"⽼婆孩⼦们"也应得⼀份,⾄于剩下的那⼀份,狮⼦愿意与狐狸和驴⼦⼀⽐⾼低,驴⼦再笨狐狸再狡猾也不⾄于要跟狮⼦⼀决胜负, 所以结果就可想⽽知了. e.g.As usual, the lion's share of the budget is for defence. 圣经⾥说“把我从狮⼦⼝⾥救出来”（save me from the lion's mouth）.因此to put one's head in the lion's mouth意思是鲁莽地冒险（a foolhardy risk born of either true or false courage） e.g.I'll have to put my head in the lion's mouth to save him. 17世纪时,伦敦的动物园⾥有⼀只狮⼦,当地⼈常陪同外来客⼈来看狮⼦,顺便也⼀起参观下位于附近的伦敦塔,其他游客也纷纷慕“狮名”⽽来.1834年,动物园搬⾛了,游客只好看看伦敦塔了事.但从那时起,lion就成为⼀种⽐喻,意思是“名胜或名⼈” lion hunters指“巴结社会名流的⼈” 这世界上有⼤王,那就有喽罗⽖⽛和帮凶.在动物王国,狮⼦是⼤王,豺jackal便是狮⼦的⽖⽛（狮⼦王⾥⾯就有,是不）,⼈们把那些“替别⼈⼲不体⾯事情的⼈”（a person who does demeaning or dishonest tasks for someone else, or an individual who does another's dirty work）称为jackal.。
