第一篇:動物英語
動物英語:“猛犸象”的比喻義
9月6日,俄羅斯館薩哈(雅庫特)共和國展覽正式拉開了帷幕,館內展示的不乏稀世珍寶——猛犸象骨雕刻品、奇特形狀的金條,還有精美切割的雅庫特鉆石。
猛犸象,曾經(jīng)是遠古時代地球上最大的象,英語中它的名字是mammoth。因為是龐大動物的名字,所以mammoth這個詞也就有了比喻義,表示“非常龐大”的意思:
mammoth enterprise:龐大的企業(yè)
obama healthcare reform bill is a mammoth job killer
這是一則新聞的標題:奧巴馬醫(yī)改政策是一個巨型“飯碗”殺手
很可愛的一個形容詞哦,比起giant、enormous要形象很多,大家可以學著使用 動物英語:“安哥拉長毛兔”的國籍不是安哥拉
9月26日是世博安哥拉館日,提及安哥拉,大家不一定都了解這個國家,不過都知道有名的安哥拉長毛兔吧——注意注意哦,這么有名的兔子其實和安哥拉這個國家完全沒有半點關系,名字上的一致只是因為中文音譯的關系:安哥拉這個國家名是angola,而安哥拉長毛兔的名字是angora,原產自土耳其。
可愛的angora rabbit分好幾個breed,種類,比較著名的有english,英系安哥拉;french,法系安哥拉;german,德系安哥拉;satin angora,緞毛安哥拉(產自加拿大)與 giant angora,巨型安哥拉(產自美國)。
安哥拉兔兔是一種domestic rabbit,家兔,價值就在于又長又軟的兔毛,18世紀中期,安哥拉兔兔也是法國皇室貴族很喜歡的一種寵物。兔兔那一身的毛是怎么剪下來的呢?通常情況下有這幾種剪毛的方法:shearing, 用大剪刀剪,就像剪羊毛那樣;combing, 梳理;plucking,摘、拔(這個會痛的吧?)
其實毛長了也會造成困擾:regardless of breed, all angoras must be monitored to prevent m.seogis.comice. 戴手套的貓,老鼠抓不到。(不愿吃苦的人成不了大事業(yè)。)
