第514期:和动物相关的趣味英文习语, 你知道多少(在线收听

   很早之前,看过一本叫做《天才在左疯子在右》的书。我记得书有讲到一个女孩子,说自己每天接触到的,看到的都不是人。她将自己的妈妈看成了猫,把自己看成小鼹鼠,将诊治她的心理医生看作了一只大蜘蛛。虽然这听似荒诞离奇,但是这个女孩说她看到的这些动物和对应的人之间,在行为模式上有着惊人的相似。

  古今中外,我们的语言中,经常出现拿动物比作人的现象(如笑面虎,孺子牛等)。而心理学中,也把人的性格分为:老虎型,孔雀型,考拉型,猫头鹰型,变色龙型。
  而英语中,也有很多用动物来形容人的表达。今天我们就来学习下最常见的几组有关动物的英文地道习语吧!
