與豬有關(guān)的英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)
很早以前我就懂得，永遠(yuǎn)不要與豬爭(zhēng)斗。因?yàn)槟銜?huì)弄得很臟，而豬就喜歡你這樣。
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it
關(guān)于豬的諺語(yǔ)確實(shí)比較少：
我仔細(xì)想了一下，就有一句。
人怕出名豬怕胖。
A famed person and a fattened pig are alike in danger.
還有一種翻譯方法：
People are afraid of being famed just as the pig is afraid of being fat.
我覺(jué)得前面是個(gè)比較地道的說(shuō)法，很多諺語(yǔ)書(shū)上都有。
“豬會(huì)飛”的6種英語(yǔ)表達(dá)
When pigs fly
豬可不能飛起來(lái)！這是不可能的事，因此正是成語(yǔ)本身想表達(dá)的意思。例如，當(dāng)你聽(tīng)到有人說(shuō)，"Do you think Mary will quit her job now that she's pregnant?"另一個(gè)人就回答，"Yeah, when pigs fly! There is no way she is giving up her career!"當(dāng)他或她在使用表達(dá)方式 when pigs fly時(shí)，意思是Mary絕對(duì)不可能辭職。
Get in someone's hair
如果你get in someone's hair，你并沒(méi)有爬到別人的頭上！其實(shí)，意思是你煩擾到了他們-可能是你侵入了他們的私人空間。例如"Susan was trying to prepare dinner, but her children were getting in her hair!" 意思是Susan的孩子們?cè)谒鲲埖臅r(shí)候煩她。如果有人煩擾到了你，你就可以說(shuō)，"Get out of my hair!"
Hit the ceiling
天花板可離我們的頭遠(yuǎn)著呢，那么要撞上天花板也不是件容易的事-除非你非常生氣！如果有人hits the ceiling意思是他們正表現(xiàn)出非常生氣的樣子。例如，"When Carol's son got an F on his report card, she hit the ceiling!"意思是Carol對(duì)她兒子考試不及格非常的憤怒。
Knock someone's socks off
現(xiàn)在，要pull掉別人的襪子還有些可能-但是要knock掉別人的襪子要該怎么做呢？當(dāng)然是通過(guò)讓他們驚奇興奮并印象深刻嘍！例如，"You should see Tom's new car! It'll knock your socks off, it's so amazing!"意思是Tom的車令人稱奇！
Bite the bullet
如果要試著咬一顆子彈味道會(huì)是怎樣呢？不太好吧。那么為什么會(huì)有人bite the bullet呢？只有在勇敢的忍受或面對(duì)困難的處境時(shí)他們才會(huì)這么做。例如"She had to bite the bullet and give in to her boss's unreasonable demands."意思是她在老板提出苛刻要求時(shí)表現(xiàn)的勇敢堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。
Drive someone up a wallpigs
車是不能開(kāi)到墻上去的，那么誰(shuí)能drive you up a wall？是惹你討厭的人！例如，"My mom is driving me up a wall! She won't ever let me stay out late."意思是母親不讓我在外面呆得晚讓我感到非常的討厭。
