1、与动物有关的俚语篇一：有关动物的俚语和成语集锦LM LM有关动物的俚语和成语集锦 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。 2dog（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
2、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。 LM有关动物的俚语和成语集锦 3pig（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。 4rat（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

4、兔子尾巴长不了”。后者用来形容人时则分别暗示“狡猾”与“难以持久”之意。 对英国人来说，rabbit的形象亦不美。不过用来指人时，所取喻意同汉语大相径庭：a rabbit意为a person who plays a game badly（蹩脚的运动员尤指网球运动员）；与中国兔子不同的是，西rabbit一出场就显得“窝囊”。 cukoo: 疯子,笨蛋; -fish:无足轻重的小人物; -bird:活泼可爱的女孩; -fox:1.狡诈的人2.性感热火的人; LM有关动物的俚语和成语集锦 -horse:吃苦耐劳的人 -dongky:笨蛋 2.英语中有关动物的俚语英语中的俚语层出不穷，尤其是在电视和电
