一、英语中的猪的形象是多样的。a pig意为“a greedy,dirty or bad-mannered person”(贪婪、肮脏或无礼貌的人),我们来看几个例句:
Arrogant pig! 傲慢的家伙!
•Don't be such a pig! 别那么讨厌嘛!
•The greedy pig's eaten all the biscuits! 那个馋猫把饼干都吃光了!
•He's a real male chauvinist pig (= a man who does not think women are equal to men) . 他是个彻头彻尾的大男子主义者。
二、我们再来看几个短语:
1、make a pig of oneself:“过分贪嘴、贪婪”
She made a pig of herself with the ice cream (= ate too much) . 她大吃了一通冰激凌。
2、live like pigs in clover “生活优裕”
She inherited a fortune from her father and lived like pigs in clover.
她从她父亲那里继承了一大笔财富生活优裕。
3、pigs might fly “除非出现奇迹”
He will break the world record? Pigs might fly!
他将打破世界纪录?那才怪呢!
