)英语动物趣味小知识：容易闹的英语笑话英语有时候真是莫名其妙，你觉得你明明懂了，可实际上你又没有懂。
下面来看几件轶事，都是因为没有理解听到看到的东西而闹出的笑话。
也许从中，你也可以学到一些东西。
第一个故事发生在秘鲁，一位美国妇女在餐馆里用餐。
她问服务员：Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands?服务员把她带到洗手间，可不巧，正有一些工人在粉刷洗手间的墙壁。
工人们一看有人要用洗手间，就准备离开。

趣味英语与动物有关的英语词语
与动物有关的英语词语一、基于动物外部特征的表达一些动物外表上的特点使我们容易联想起日常生活中的一些事物、人的某些特点、举止、动作等。
goose flesh / pimples（鸡皮疙瘩）鸡、鹅等动物的皮肤表面粗糙，有一些小疙瘩状的突起。
因此，就用goose flesh / pimples 来指人们由于寒冷、害怕等而引起的皮肤粗糙的情形。
例句：Whenever I see a horrible film, I immediately get goose flesh. （我一看恐怖片，马上就浑身不自在。
）Hedgehog（刺猬、难以应付的人）刺猬的身体表面布满尖刺，可以起到保护的作用，而对于对手来说，刺猬就成了不好对付的动物。
由此，hedgehog转义指那些难以对付的人，这与汉语的方言“刺头儿”有着异曲同工之妙。
例句：He is a hedgehog guy. Don’t bother him when he is in bad mood. （他是个难对付的人，他心情不好时，最好不要招惹他。
）crane（鹤）名词动用时可引申为“伸长（脖子）”。
例句：The audiences are craning their necks to see the hero coming down from the spaceship.（观众正伸长着脖子去看从飞船里下来的英雄。
）eel（鳝鱼）由于鳝鱼形体如蛇，表面光滑，不易被捉。
因此，往往可拿鳝鱼来比喻“滑头滑脑的人”。
例句：He is one of the most slippery businessmen in the local business community, just like an eel.（他是当地商界最滑头的商人之一。
）sheep（羊、绵羊）“black sheep”意为“有辱门楣的人或败家子”。
原因如下：第一，黑绵羊的毛不值钱；第二，它的黑颜色使其他白色绵羊害怕。
英语动物趣味小知识
英语动物趣味小知识Fun Facts About AnimalsAnimals are fascinating creatures that inhabit our world. From the smallest insects to the biggest mammals, they all have unique characteristics that make them interesting. Here are some fun facts about animals that you may not have known before.1. The blue whale is the largest animal in the world, reaching lengths of up to 100 feet and weighing around 200 tons. Its tongue alone can weigh as much as an elephant. Despite its massive size, the blue whale feeds mostly on tiny shrimp-like animals called krill.2. The honey bee is the only insect that produces food consumedby humans. They create honey by collecting nectar from flowers and then regurgitating and evaporating it in their hives. Honey is not only delicious but also has antimicrobial properties that can help treat wounds.3. Elephants are the only mammals that cannot jump. Their weight, size, and anatomical structure make it physically impossible for them to lift all four feet off the ground at the same time.4. The giraffe has the same number of neck vertebrae as humans, which is seven. However, each of the giraffe's vertebrae can be up to 10 inches long, allowing them to have a long neck that can reach up to 6 feet in length.5. The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird and animal on Earth, reaching speeds of up to 240 miles per hour when hunting its prey.To achieve such high speeds, they dive from great heights and tuck their wings close to their bodies.6. The platypus is one of the few mammals that lays eggs. It has many unique features, including a duck-like bill, waterproof fur, and the ability to produce venom. Male platypus also have venomous spurs on their hind legs, which they use as a defense mechanism during fights.7. Cows have best friends. Research has shown that cows form close bonds with certain individuals in their herd and will prefer to spend time and groom each other. When separated, they can become stressed and exhibit signs of anxiety.8. The kakapo is a parrot species native to New Zealand that cannot fly. It is the heaviest parrot in the world, weighing up to 9 pounds. To compensate for their inability to fly, kakapos have evolved to be excellent climbers, using their strong legs and claws to navigate trees and forage for food.9. The axolotl is a type of salamander that is commonly referred to as a "Mexican walking fish" although it is not a fish at all. It is able to regenerate its limbs and even parts of its organs, making it a valuable model for scientific research on tissue regeneration. 10. The octopus is known for its exceptional intelligence and problem-solving abilities. They can use tools, open jars, and even mimic the appearance and behavior of other animals. This is made possible by their highly developed nervous system and the fact that two-thirds of their neurons are found in their tentacles.These are just a few examples of the fascinating world of animals. There is still so much to learn and discover about these incredible creatures. Whether big or small, each animal has its own unique quirks and characteristics that make it a wonder of nature.继续写相关内容，1500字11. The hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backward. With their unique wing structure and rapid wing beats, hummingbirds are able to hover in mid-air and even fly in reverse. This flight ability allows them to access nectar from flowers that other birds may not be able to reach.12. Dolphins are known for their advanced communication skills and intelligence. They use a series of clicks, whistles, and body movements to communicate with each other. They are also capable of recognizing themselves in mirrors, a sign of self-awareness that is rare among animals.13. The mantis shrimp has one of the most complex visual systems in the animal kingdom. They have up to 16 color receptors (compared to humans who have only three) and can see a much broader spectrum of colors, including ultraviolet light. This gives them a unique advantage when hunting prey or avoiding predators.14. The Arctic tern holds the record for the longest migration of any bird. They travel from their breeding grounds in the Arctic to their wintering grounds in the Antarctic, covering a round-trip distance of over 44,000 miles. This incredible journey allows them to enjoy continuous daylight during the Arctic summer and avoidharsh winter conditions.15. The Australian frilled lizard has a unique defense mechanism. When threatened, it opens its mouth wide, unfurls a large frill around its neck, and hisses loudly. This display makes the lizard appear larger and more intimidating to potential predators, deterring them from attacking.16. The dung beetle is known for its incredible strength. It can rolla ball of dung that is up to 50 times its own weight. This behavior serves as a way for the beetle to transport food and build nests for reproduction. Dung beetles also play a vital ecological role by recycling nutrients and improving soil quality.17. The axolotl, a unique salamander species, has the ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also parts of its heart, spinal cord, and even parts of its brain. This remarkable regenerative capacity has made axolotls a focal point of scientific research, with the potential to provide valuable insights into human tissue regeneration and the treatment of traumatic injuries.18. The digger wasp has an amazing navigation system. It uses landmarks and the position of the Sun to remember the location of its nest, which can be several meters away from where it captures its prey. This ability to navigate and find its way back to its nest with precision highlights the cognitive abilities of these small insects.19. The pistol shrimp has an extraordinary ability to create a shockwave underwater. By snapping its large claw shut at anincredible speed, the shrimp produces a cavitation bubble that generates a shockwave and emits a loud snap sound. This snap is powerful enough to stun or even kill small prey, making it easier for the shrimp to consume.20. The axolotl, often referred to as a "living fossil," has retained juvenile characteristics throughout its life. Unlike most salamanders, the axolotl remains aquatic and keeps its gills, even as it matures into adulthood. This unique trait, known as neoteny, has made axolotls popular pets and subjects of scientific study.21. The giant Pacific octopus is known for its exceptional problem-solving abilities. In captivity, these octopuses have been observed opening jars, mimicking the behavior of other animals, and even solving puzzles to access food rewards. Their highly developed nervous system and flexible behaviors demonstrate the remarkable intelligence of cephalopods.22. The axolotl has the ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord and even parts of its heart and brain. This ability to regrow complex body structures has made them a popular subject of research in regenerative medicine. Scientists hope to unlock the secrets of axolotl regeneration and apply them to human medical treatments.23. The bombardier beetle has a unique defense mechanism. When threatened, it releases a toxic chemical spray from its abdomen. This spray contains a mixture of chemicals that react explosively, producing a hot and noxious gas. The sudden release of this spray can deter predators and give the beetle a chance to escape.24. The electric eel has the ability to produce powerful electric shocks. It uses specialized organs known as electrocytes to generate electricity, which it uses both for hunting prey and for communication with other eels. These shocks can be strong enough to stun or incapacitate fish, making them easier for the eel to catch.25. The hagfish, often regarded as one of the most primitive living vertebrates, has a unique defense mechanism. When threatened, it excretes copious amounts of slimy mucus, which quickly expands in water, forming a thick and sticky slime. This defense mechanism can deter predators and make it difficult for them to grip or swallow the hagfish.26. The kangaroo rat is an amazing desert dweller. It is able to live without drinking water by obtaining all the necessary moisture from its food. To conserve water, kangaroo rats have highly concentrated urine and can tolerate high levels of dehydration.27. The proboscis monkey has one of the most distinctive faces in the animal kingdom. The males have large, pendulous noses that can grow up to 7 inches long. This long nose serves as a resonating chamber, amplifying their calls and attracting mates. The size of the nose is also an indicator of dominance among male proboscis monkeys.28. The fennec fox is well-adapted to desert life. It has large ears that help dissipate heat and detect prey underground. It also has specialized kidneys that allow it to conserve water by producing highly concentrated urine. These adaptations help the fennec foxsurvive in its arid environment.29. The axolotl exhibits an amazing ability to regrow lost body parts. This includes not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord, heart, and parts of the brain. Unlike most animals, which heal wounds by forming scar tissue, axolotls can regenerate complete and functional tissues, making them a valuable model for regenerative medicine research.30. The peacock spider is known for its colorful and intricate courtship displays. The male spider performs a dance, extending its vibrant abdominal flaps and waving its legs in a mesmerizing pattern to attract a female. These displays are not only visually striking but also provide important information about the male's fitness and reproductive potential.31. The African elephant is the largest land animal. It has a complex social structure and exhibits behaviors such as mourning, altruism, and empathy. Elephants have been observed showing care and compassion towards other injured or grieving elephants, demonstrating their emotional intelligence and social bonds.32. The leafy sea dragon is a mesmerizing and unique marine creature. It camouflages itself with leaf-like appendages all over its body, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its environment. This remarkable adaptation helps the leafy sea dragon avoid predators and ambush its own prey.33. The axolotl has the ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord, heart, and parts of its brain. This exceptionalregenerative capacity has attracted the attention of scientists worldwide, as they seek to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie tissue regeneration.34. The mimic octopus is a master of disguise. It has the ability to change its color, pattern, and shape to mimic various other marine animals, such as lionfish, flatfish, and sea snakes. This camouflage helps the mimic octopus blend in with its surroundings and avoid predators.35. The lyrebird is known for its astonishing vocal abilities. It can mimic the sounds of other birds, animals, and even man-made objects with remarkable accuracy. This mimicry serves as a way for male lyrebirds to attract mates and establish their territory.36. The axolotl is considered a critically endangered species in the wild. Its natural habitat, the Xochimilco canals in Mexico, has been greatly degraded due to pollution and urbanization. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and restore the axolotl's habitat, as well as establish captive breeding programs to ensure the survival of this unique species.37. The Angora rabbit is famous for its long and silky fur, which can grow up to 6 inches in length. This luxurious coat requires regular grooming and maintenance, making Angora rabbits popular among breeders and enthusiasts interested in fiber arts such as weaving and spinning.38. The axolotl exhibits a phenomenon known as neoteny, where it retains juvenile characteristics throughout its life. Unlike mostsalamanders, which undergo metamorphosis and develop lungs to live on land, axolotls remain aquatic and retain their gills. This unique trait has made them a popular research model for studying tissue regeneration and developmental biology.39. The blue-footed booby is a seabird known for its vibrant, bright blue feet, which it displays during courtship rituals. Males perform elaborate dances, lifting and showing off their feet to attract females. The brightness of the blue feet is an indicator of themale's health and reproductive fitness.40. The axolotl has the remarkable ability to regenerate not just its limbs, but also its spinal cord, heart, and parts of its brain. This regenerative capacity is due to a combination of factors, including the presence of stem cells, a robust immune response, and the activation of specific genetic pathways. Studying axolotl regeneration could provide insights into potential regenerative therapies for humans.In conclusion, the animal kingdom is full of fascinating creatures with unique characteristics. From the incredible regenerative abilities of the axolotl to the complex social structures of elephants, animals never cease to amaze us. There is always more to learn and discover about these remarkable beings. By studying and appreciating the wonders of the animal world, we can gain a deeper understanding of our own place in the natural world. Let us continue to protect and preserve these incredible creatures for future generations to appreciate and admire.。

等这个词的读音跟中文的“嚎”很相近，而通过我们中文常用的“鬼哭狼嚎”就可以记住这个词的两种用法－狼的嚎，人的哭。
3、体积庞大的大象（elephant）的叫声为trumpettrumpet本义为喇叭的意思，大象的叫声如喇叭一般宏亮。
4、忠心耿耿的狗（dog）的叫声表示方法有很多哦bark,yap,yelp,bay,howl,growl,snarl,whine还有更拟声的一种表达方法就是bowwow，不过怎么也不如中文的“汪汪”来得形象，说到这里想起了一种说法，就是中文表达狗叫的“汪汪”实际上读音暗示的是“旺旺”，是为了表示一种吉祥的意义，而在越南也是如此，狗叫声为“呕呕”，与越南语中“富有”同音。
5、奸诈狡猾的狐狸（fox）的叫声与狗类似: bark,yelp6、灵巧可爱的猫（cat）的叫声则完全是拟声mew,miaow,miau,meow,meou，与中文的“喵”读音类似。
7、擅长打洞的老鼠（mouse）的叫声是尖利的: squeak(尖叫),cheep(叽叽),peep（唧唧）8、好吃懒做的猪（pig）的叫声为grunt（呼噜）,squeak(尖叫)grunt还有抱怨的意思，既然猪是好吃懒做的，那么它也一定会经常抱怨了。
此外还有野猪（swine）的叫声也是grunt；公猪（boar）的叫声则为girn（咆哮，吼叫）9、魁梧凶悍的熊（bear）的叫声为growl（咆哮）细心的朋友可能发现上文狗叫声中也有growl的表达，实际上这个词表示的是一种低沉的咆哮，对于熊来说是很恰当的，对于狗来说就不是一般的叫声了，而是发怒时的狂吠了。

趣味动物英语小知识
第一回动物篇
a)Ten animals I slam in a net.
我把十只动物一网打尽
你注意到这句话有什么特别之处吗？对了，无论从左到右，还是从右到左，字母排列顺序都是一样的，英语把这叫做Palindromes 回文（指顺读和倒读都一样的词语），关于动物的回文还有以下的例子
Otto saw pup ; pup was Otto. （奥托看见了小狗，小狗的名字叫奥托）Was it a car or a cat I saw ?
Was it a rat I saw ? （我刚才看见的是条老鼠？）
b)the bee's knees
用来形容最好的至高无上的东西。
[例] She is a very poor singer but she thinks she's the bee's knees. （她五音不全却自认为是高高在上的一流歌手。
）
该表现起源于20年代的美国，仅仅因为bee's 和 knees押韵，琅琅上口，迅速得到流传，直到现在，还在日常生活非正式场合的对话中经常使用。
c)Santa Claus' reindeer(圣诞老人的驯鹿)
你知道圣诞老人的驯鹿是怎么来的吗？它们是Clement Clarke Moore （1779-1863 美国作家）所写的‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’1823作品里出现的Dasher、Dancer、Prancer、Vixen、Comet、Cupid、Donner、Blitzen等8头
d)the world is my oyster （世界是我的牡蛎）
if the world is my oyster 经常作为“如果我的梦想得以实现的话”的意思使
用。
该句来源于莎士比亚的The Merry Wives of Windsor(1600)Ⅱ､ⅱ､2中，恶棍Pistol对决意不肯借钱的Sir John Falstaff说、“Why then the world's mine oyster, / Which I with sword will open.”（这个世界如同我的牡蛎一样，我可以用刀子把它撬开。
）人们应用这句话是常把原文的mine该成my.这句话也常常出现在Willy Loman的台词中。
e)horses for courses
不同的马适合不同的跑道
20世纪后期成为广泛使用的习惯用语，由不同的跑道为不同的马设置这一事实而来。
〔例1〕We like to try to provide a wide range of hobbies for our members to choose from. We know there are horses for courses.
〔例2〕This drug worked for your mother but it might not work for you.There are horses for courses in the medical world.。
