1、有關(guān)動物的俚語和成語集錦！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.各種動物在英語俚語中的喻意2.英語中有關(guān)動物的俚語英語中有關(guān)動物的諺語（上）3.英語中有關(guān)動物的諺語（下）4. 5.英語中有關(guān)動物的俗語英語中有關(guān)動物的成語6.種各1 .在物動俚語英的中語喻意常日人生活中，值得注意一般不能與動物相提并論，但語言中卻有不少借動物的特性 來形容人的特性的詞語。的是，這種比喻性表達(dá)法往往因語言、文化的不同而 具有不同的含義。 下面，我們比較一下英漢語言中同一動物名詞的不同喻 意。cat（貓）1.俗話說“貓有九命”，這是漢語的

2、說法。此外，中國人常戲稱嘴饞的人為“饞貓”a spitefUl or unpleasant womancat的含義為在西方是人們寵愛之物（pet），但令人奇怪的是，在英語俚語中，cat （心 地惡毒或令人討厭的女人）。照此看來，似乎是中國的貓可親，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，常可泛指個人。如諺語：Every dog has his day在英語中（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。dog eat dog喻“占著茅坑不

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

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

5、股市不景氣乃稱熊市”。be like另一習(xí)慣用語（粗鄙之人、a bad-tempered or bad-mannered person 魯莽之人）；但英語用bear指人時，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，漢語有“勇猛如獅”之說；英語也有。 習(xí)語as brave as a lion亦用來指名流、社交場合的寵兒”。在英語中，a lion （兔）8. rabbit “兔”在中 國人心中可謂形象復(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、長不了”。后者用來形容人時則分別暗示“狡猾”與“難以持久”之意。a person who plays意為所取喻 意同漢語大相徑庭：a rabbit的形象亦不美。對英國人來說，rabbit不過用來指人時，一出場就顯得“窩囊”。（蹩腳的運(yùn)動員尤指網(wǎng)球運(yùn)動員）；與中國兔子不同的是，西rabbita game badly ;，笨蛋cukoo:瘋子；-fish:無足輕重的小人物；-bird:活潑可愛的女孩；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.英語中有關(guān)動物的俚語-dongky:笨蛋英語中的俚語層出不窮，尤其是在電視和電影中，一些常見的詞往往會構(gòu)成你從 沒聽說過的
