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!
