1、有關(guān)動(dòng)物的俚語(yǔ)和成語(yǔ)集錦！阿attention以下 內(nèi)容是本人互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上下載收集后重新整理出來(lái)的資料，比較全面，部分內(nèi)容稍有 重復(fù)。主要內(nèi)容：1.各種動(dòng)物在英語(yǔ)俚語(yǔ)中的喻意2.英語(yǔ)中有關(guān)動(dòng)物的俚語(yǔ)英語(yǔ)中有關(guān)動(dòng)物的諺語(yǔ)（上）3.英語(yǔ)中有關(guān)動(dòng)物的諺語(yǔ)（下）4. 5.英語(yǔ)中有關(guān)動(dòng)物的俗語(yǔ)英語(yǔ)中有關(guān)動(dòng)物的成語(yǔ)6.種各1 .在物動(dòng)俚語(yǔ)英的中語(yǔ)喻意常日人生活中，值得注意一般不能與動(dòng)物相提并論，但語(yǔ)言中卻有不少借動(dòng)物的特性 來(lái)形容人的特性的詞語(yǔ)。的是，這種比喻性表達(dá)法往往因語(yǔ)言、文化的不同而 具有不同的含義。 下面，我們比較一下英漢語(yǔ)言中同一動(dòng)物名詞的不同喻 意。cat（貓）1.俗話(huà)說(shuō)“貓有九命”，這是漢語(yǔ)的

2、說(shuō)法。此外，中國(guó)人常戲稱(chēng)嘴饞的人為“饞貓”a spitefUl or unpleasant womancat的含義為在西方是人們寵愛(ài)之物（pet），但令人奇怪的是，在英語(yǔ)俚語(yǔ)中，cat （心 地惡毒或令人討厭的女人）。照此看來(lái)，似乎是中國(guó)的貓可親，西方的貓可惡了。（狗）.2dog （人人皆有得意日。）又如：.dog的形象一般不差，常可泛指?jìng)€(gè)人。如諺語(yǔ)：Every dog has his day在英語(yǔ)中（快活的人、好玩的人）。a gay doga dog in the manger同樣，人們自相殘害”；（注意eat 為原形），意指如：但dog也有形象不佳之時(shí)。dog eat dog喻“占著茅坑不

3、拉屎的人”。在漢語(yǔ)里，盡管狗 在某些地方也為寵物，但“狗”的形象總是不雅，因而用來(lái)指人時(shí)多含貶義。如“狗咬狗”、“哈巴狗”、 “走狗氣“狗仗人勢(shì)氣“癩皮狗”等等。pig （豬）3. pork），一邊又對(duì)豬惡語(yǔ)相加。pig所受待遇可謂最 糟，人們總是一邊吃豬肉（漢語(yǔ)里，豬集“懶、笨、饞”于一身，借此喻人具有刻毒之意，其用語(yǔ)不勝枚 舉。（貪婪、骯臟或無(wú)禮貌的人）。dirty or bad-mannered person意為a piga greedy，英國(guó)人也給pig以丑惡的 形象。注意，最后一喻意似乎未進(jìn)入漢語(yǔ)。（鼠）4. rat漢語(yǔ)中的“膽小如鼠、鼠目寸光、鼠肚雞腸” 及“鼠輩，等詞語(yǔ)，皆有“畏

4、瑣、卑微，及“心胸狹窄，等含義，可見(jiàn)鼠在漢語(yǔ)中簡(jiǎn)直一無(wú)是處。（自私 的人）即a person who behaves selfishlyrat指人時(shí)喻意與漢語(yǔ)稍有出入，但也含貶義：a rat英語(yǔ)的作為俚語(yǔ)， （不忠的人）。或a person who is disloyal （驢）.ass5漢語(yǔ)有“笨驢”之說(shuō)，用來(lái)指人，則表達(dá)愚、笨” 之意。英語(yǔ)同漢語(yǔ)在這一點(diǎn)上有相通之處：an ass意為a foolish person （傻瓜），同義語(yǔ)還有donkey，但常用來(lái)指 小孩。（熊）bear. 6.在中國(guó)人的心目中，熊的形象一般是“行為緩慢”，因而具有“呆傻”之態(tài)；指人時(shí)常有“熊樣”之說(shuō)；目 前形容

5、股市不景氣乃稱(chēng)熊市”。be like另一習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)（粗鄙之人、a bad-tempered or bad-mannered person 魯莽之人）；但英語(yǔ)用bear指人時(shí)，則為 則表示脾氣暴躁”。a bear with a sore head （獅）7. lion百獸 之王獅子在中西方文化中有一點(diǎn)是相通的，即“勇猛”，借此喻人時(shí)，漢語(yǔ)有“勇猛如獅”之說(shuō)；英語(yǔ)也有。 習(xí)語(yǔ)as brave as a lion亦用來(lái)指名流、社交場(chǎng)合的寵兒”。在英語(yǔ)中，a lion （兔）8. rabbit “兔”在中 國(guó)人心中可謂形象復(fù)雜，有好的一面，如“形如脫兔”（喻快捷）；也有差的一面，如“狡兔三窟、兔子尾 巴

6、長(zhǎng)不了”。后者用來(lái)形容人時(shí)則分別暗示“狡猾”與“難以持久”之意。a person who plays意為所取喻 意同漢語(yǔ)大相徑庭：a rabbit的形象亦不美。對(duì)英國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，rabbit不過(guò)用來(lái)指人時(shí)，一出場(chǎng)就顯得“窩囊”。（蹩腳的運(yùn)動(dòng)員尤指網(wǎng)球運(yùn)動(dòng)員）；與中國(guó)兔子不同的是，西rabbita game badly ;，笨蛋cukoo:瘋子；-fish:無(wú)足輕重的小人物；-bird:活潑可愛(ài)的女孩；2.性感熱火的人-fox:1.狡詐的人吃苦耐勞的人-horse:d k笨正2.英語(yǔ)中有關(guān)動(dòng)物的俚語(yǔ)-dongky:笨蛋英語(yǔ)中的俚語(yǔ)層出不窮，尤其是在電視和電影中，一些常見(jiàn)的詞往往會(huì)構(gòu)成你從 沒(méi)聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)的
