高三英语语法与惯用法知识点：与动物有关的英语成语

高三英语语法与惯用法知识点：与动物有关的英语成语与动物有关的成语有多少?英语和汉语虽是两种不同民族的语言，但有许多相通之处。

我们常说的“亡羊补牢”，“一石二鸟”，“叫的狗不咬人”这些成语，在英语中都能找得到。

下面还是让我们读读这篇文章吧。

How many idioms are there in English that are drawn from animal life?For example, when we do two things at one and the same t ime we “kill two birds with one stone”, or if we are greedy and foolish, we “kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.” A bad-tempered person is “like a bear with a sore head”, an awkward, heavy-footed person is “like a bull in a china shop”, and a person with a bad character is “the black sheep” in a group.But let’s leave the foolish person or the bad person, and consider the wise man. A wise man never “counts his chickens before they are hatched” or “buys a pig in a poke”—he always examines carefully what he is buying before he pays his money. He will always, of course, do things in the right order and not try to “put the cart before the horse.” He will leave alone thingsthat might cause trouble, as he would say “let sleeping dogs lie”, nor will he waste good things on people who can’t appreciate them; he does not believe in “casting pearls before swine”. There are some people who always take safety measures. When it is too late and “lock the stable door after the horse is stolen”, that, he considers, is as foolish as “putting the cart before the horse”. When bold decisive measures are necessary he takes them and “takes the bull by the horns”. And when an ill-tempered, sharp-tongued friend says something unpleasant, he doesn’t worry too much; he knows “a barking dog does not bite.” If he knows a secret, he keeps it; he is not one to “let the cat out of the bag”. He knows, too, that there are things you can’t force people to do. As he would say, “you can lead a horse to the water, but you can’t make it dr ink”. And he would, of course, be too generous-hearted to “look a gift horse in the mouth.” He’s a cheerful, hard-working fellow, and “works like a horse.” He isn’t proud, “riding the high horse”, and is always willing to help others in difficulty, “puttin g his shoulder to the wheel” and never giving “a white elephant” to them. He pities the poor fellow who has “never had a dog’s chance” and “leads a dog’s life”, perhaps because misfortune has always “dogged his footstep s”.Here is a new married couple. They get on very well together; they don’t lead a “cat and dog life”. She, of course, never makes “catty remarks”, nor will she fuss “like a cat on hot bricks” if he goes out when it is “raining cats and dogs”. She doesn’t worry too much; she knows that “care killed a cat”. She knows the husband is careful what company he keeps. “Birds of a feather flock together,” he often says to her. Otherwise, he’d feel “like a fish out of water”.Now the author had better stop or you will think I am “riding my horse to death”.()Comprehension Questions:Match the Following Chinese Idioms with the English Versions1. 本末倒置 A. look a gift horse in the mouth2. 亡羊补牢 B. birds of a feather flock together3. 物以类聚 C. let sleeping dogs lie4. 一举两得 D. put the cart before the horse5. 吹毛求疵 E. kill two birds with one stone6. 趾高气扬 F. ride the high horse7. 莫惹是非G. lock the stable door after the horse is stolen8. 害群之马H. the black horseKey: 1.

动物成语大全

1.排偶：是指把两个或更多数字相近、结构相同或相似的句子或短语，并列地排在一起，用以表示对比或对照关系，其特点是句式整齐匀称，节奏明朗，感染力强，是表示对比的有效手段。

动物习语中一般含比较级或最高级的句子大都属于这种类型。

例如：Better ride on an ass that carries me than a horse that throws me. (勿做自不量力之事。

但能依本分，终须无烦恼)An army of stags led by a lion would be more formidable than one of lions led by a stag. (狮帅鹿兵比鹿帅狮兵更可怕)It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle， than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. （富人死后难升天）The best horse needs breaking， and the aptest child needs teaching.（最好的马也要受训，最聪明的孩子也要受教）其他常见的还有：Like cow， like calf.（有什么样的母牛，就有什么样的牛犊）An ox is taken by the horns， and a man by the tongue.（牛因角被执，人因舌而遭殃）A man has his hour， and a dog his day. (人有得意时，狗有得意日)排偶类的也有少数，例：Take heed of an ox before; an ass behind， and a monk on all sides. （见牛防牴，逢驴防踢，碰上僧侣，谨防被欺）No bees， no honey; no work， no money. （不劳无获）2.反衬（也叫对照）英语中的反衬是用平行或对称的结构来表示两种相反的意思，其结构特点是整齐匀称，相反的意思相互衬托，显得更加鲜明突出。

有关动物的俚语和成语集锦LM

有关动物的俚语和成语集锦Pay attention ！以下内容是本人互联网上下载收集后重新整理出来的资料，比较全面，部分内容稍有重复。

1.各种动物在英语俚语中的喻意日常生活中，人一般不能与动物相提并论，但语言中却有不少借动物的特性来形容人的特性的词语。

值得注意的是，这种比喻性表达法往往因语言、文化的不同而具有不同的含义。

下面，我们比较一下英汉语言中同一动物名词的不同喻意。

1．cat （猫）俗话说“猫有九命”，这是汉语的说法。

此外，中国人常戏称嘴馋的人为“馋猫”。

cat 在西方是人们宠爱之物（pet ），但令人奇怪的是，在英语俚语中，cat 的含义为a spiteful or unpleasant woman （心地恶毒或令人讨厌的女人）。

照此看来，似乎是中国的猫可亲，西方的猫可恶了。

2．dog （狗）在英语中dog 的形象一般不差，常可泛指“个人”。

如谚语：Every dog has his day ．（人人皆有得意日。

）又如：a gay dog （快活的人、好玩的人）。

但dog 也有形象不佳之时。

如：dog eat dog （注意eat 为原形），意指“人们自相残害”；同样，a dog in the manger 喻“占着茅坑不拉屎的人”。

在汉语里，尽管狗在某些地方也为宠物，但“狗”的形象总是不雅，因而用来指人时多含贬义。

如“狗咬狗”、“哈巴狗”、“走狗”、“狗仗人势”、“癞皮狗”等等。

3．pig （猪）pig 所受待遇可谓最糟，人们总是一边吃猪肉（pork ），一边又对猪恶语相加。

汉语里，猪集“懒、笨、馋”于一身，借此喻人具有刻毒之意，其用语不胜枚举。

英国人也给pig 以丑恶的形象。

a pig 意为a greedy ，dirty or bad-mannered person （贪婪、肮脏或无礼貌的人）。

注意，最后一喻意似乎未进入汉语。

4．rat （鼠）汉语中的“胆小如鼠、鼠目寸光、鼠肚鸡肠”及“鼠辈”等词语，皆有“畏琐、卑微”及“心胸狭窄”等含义，可见鼠在汉语中简直一无是处。
