人与动物的关系英语作文
人与动物的关系英语作文 Human beings are different from animals in many ways. One of the differences is the ability of human beings to build. It is true that many animals are builders. Birds make nests, and bees make hives. But no animal could build the pyramids or the Great Wall or the Eiffel Tower. The variety, size, and beauty of the structures built by human beings is simply unsurpassed. Another difference is the ability of human beings to use intelligence. Many animals are probably more clever than we realize, but no animal has the ability to write, to reason, or to speak. Only human beings can invent computers, make use of solar energy. Only human beings paint, draw, compose music, and write poetry. These are but a few of the differences between human beings and animals. It is our special abilities that give us power to affect the world for the benefit of all mankind. We should be thankful for those abilities and learn to use them in a more wise way. 1

It is one of the most precious animals. Their bodies are very long, about one zhang. Dolphins live in the sea. They live on fish, shrimps and so on. Dolphins are very friendly and peaceful. They never attack people. Instead, they have saved many people in danger in the past years. How helpful the dolphins are! Dolphins are very clever. People often train them so that they can give a dolphin show which brings people a lot of happiness and joy. Unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. Because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. Many people make money by hunting dolphins. If we don’t protect them, maybe we’ll lose our good friends one day. As a student, I hope more and more people should take actions to protect dolphins. 【关于动物的英语作文篇二】 Elephant is the largest animal on land today.

与动物有关的习语
一、与动物有关的习语 在英语中，许多与动物相关的习语很有意思。西方文学喜欢借动物来隐喻人类。例如： Love me, love my dog. 字面义：爱我，也爱我的狗。 翻译为：爱屋及乌。 Pigs might fly. 字面义：猪可能会飞。 翻译为：奇迹可能发生。 shed crocodile’s tears 字面义：鳄鱼眼泪 翻译为：假慈悲 ?狗dog 狗是一种大家都十分熟悉的动物，由于中英两国人民对狗的喜好程度不一，因此，狗在中英两国的地位是不一样的。欧洲人民以渔猎、游牧为主，狗成为了重要的劳动工具和生产工具，于是就出现了猎犬、牧羊犬。狗对于英国人来说，即可以用来看门或打猎，也可视作人的伴侣和爱物。因此，英
国人对狗不但没有厌恶感，反而有爱怜之情。于是，在英语中就有许多含有褒义的有关狗的习语。 The dog is men’s best friend. 狗是人类最好的朋友。 Love me, love my dog. 爱屋及乌。 Every dog has his day. 人人皆有得意时。 You are a lucky dog. 你是一个幸运儿。 the top dog 优胜者 Do you know? A dog has a good nose.狗的嗅觉很灵敏。 But it can’t see colours.但是狗不会辨认颜色。
?猫cat A cat has nine lives. 猫有九条命。（意为生命力强） When the cat is away, the mice will play. 猫儿不在，老鼠翻天。（即老虎不在，猴儿称王。）A cat may look at a king. 猫也能看看国王。（即小人物也有权利。） 中国人十分喜爱猫，用“馋猫”比喻人贪嘴，常有亲呢的成份，而在西方文化中，“猫”被用来比喻“包藏祸心的女人”。 In the UK, a black cat is considered to bring good luck if it walks in front of you; in the US, however, people think this is unlucky.

中英文中关于动物习语的对比研究剖析
[摘要] 在人类历史发展的漫长进程中,动物一直与人类保持着密切联系，并对人类的生存与发展产生深刻的影响。这种亲密无间的关系使得人类对动物产生喜爱或同情或厌恶或恐惧的错综复杂的情感，人们也常常借动物来寄托和表达人们的情感，所以在英汉两种文化中都有许许多多与动物相关的词汇。语言中的词汇反映了文化发展的差异,由于受历史、习俗、价值观念、宗教信仰等诸方面文化因素的影响,英汉两种语言赋予动物词汇以各自特定的文化内涵。本文通过对英汉语动物习语对比研究,探讨两种语言折射出的文化信息的差异。由于文化差异、审美价值取向差异、社会心理差异、地理环境差异导致中英文动物习语的语义及内涵的差异;因此,在跨文化交际环境下,为传达语言准确信息就必须挖掘动物习语所隐含的文化信息。从而帮助人们顺利、恰当地进行跨文化交流。 关键词：动物词汇；英语；汉语；文化；内涵 中英文中关于动物习语的对比研究 习语是人类文化的积淀,是语言的精华,是表达完整意义、结构定型的短句,是多种修辞、特别是比喻手段的集中表现。英汉两种语言都以习语丰富而著称,其中动物习语颇丰,有的习语折射出了中英的历史、文化渊源。动物习语的使用可以使英汉两种语言形象生动、性格鲜明、色彩丰富。本文将通过研究中英文动物习语在英汉文化中的文化意义异同点；动物词在英汉两
种语言中相关文化内涵；文化差异、审美价值取向和社会心理的差异的影响；英汉动物习语具体比较；英汉翻译中应该注意语言的文化内涵等方面来探讨两种语言折射出的文化信息的差异。 一、同一动物词在英汉文化中的文化意义异同点 （一）人类文化的一般进化导致英汉动物习语的共性 人类文化的一般进化反映在人类文明发展过程中，就是各民族在生活经历，思想认识上所存在的某些共性。①这种共性也被称为文化重叠（cultural overlaps）。在英汉语动物习语中也表现出了许许多多的相似或相同之处。例如，英汉语中都用公鸡来比喻骄傲（as proud as a peacock），用熊来比喻粗暴的脾气（be like a bear with a sore head），用蜜蜂来比喻勤劳（as busy as a bee），用猴子来比喻淘气、顽皮（monkey with）②，用猪来比喻胖、贪吃（as fat as a pig, make a pig of oneself），用蜗牛来比喻速度缓慢（as a snail’s pace），用鹦鹉来比喻学舌（parrot fashion），用驴来比喻固执、笨拙（as stubborn as a donkey, as stupid as a donkey），用羊羔来比喻温顺（as gentle as a lamb）③等。下面的几个句子中的喻体也和汉语中的喻体比喻形象都非常相似：
