趣谈丨这么多有关”dog”的句子,竟然都和“狗”无关

刚刚更新 澳际教育 编辑: 浏览次数:1121 移动端

在中国,与狗有关的词语大都不是特别好的意思。比如:狗屁不通、狗仗人势、狗急跳墙、人模狗样、狗尾续貂、狼心狗肺、鸡犬升天……然而,在西方,“dog”的身份绝对不仅仅只是宠物这么简单,大多数的情况下,他们扮演的甚至是家人的角色。大量使用“dog”的词组和句子都是充满了褒义和善意的表达。

  比如:a lucky dog 幸运者;a big dog 大款;a top dog 身居要职的人。

  除了人以外,与狗狗有关的词汇还可以用来形容天气。The dog days of summer 是指一年中最热的三伏天。Rain cats and dogs。是指倾盆大雨,而不是雨淋猫狗。
