动物习语大盘点
动物习语大盘点英语中有很多习语是来自生活的，所以除了前面所讲的瓜果蔬菜，一些动物也被拿来形容人。
下面，生活君要开讲动物习语咯。
1.teach fish to swim/teach a dog to chase rabbits 班门弄斧教鱼游泳，教狗追兔子…没搞错吧，它们可都是行家，怎么还用得着去教！所以呢，这两个习语就表示在行家面前卖弄，或者妄想拿自己并不精通的东西去教别人。
也就是我们汉语里面所说的“班门弄斧”。
例如：I don’t want to teach fish to swim before you, the "Olympic expert".在你这个“奥运通”面前，我可不敢卖弄。
2.cat and dog life 争吵不休的生活想想《加菲猫》里面的剧情，要是让猫和狗在一起，麻烦可真是少不了。
为了争得主人的宠爱或者食物，它们可能会打得不可开交；也可能就是相互看着不顺眼就会打架，反正肯定没有片刻安宁。
所以，cat and dog life指的就是“争吵不休的生活”。
例如:The husband and his wife are always quarrelling, and they are leading a cat and dog life. 这对夫妇老是吵个不停，整天都没有安生日子过。
3.have ants in one's pants 坐立不安想象一下，你的裤子里面有一只蚂蚁，你还能镇定自若地坐在那吗？所以，have ants in one's pants意思就是“坐立不安”，就如同裤子里进了蚂蚁一样，用来形容人比较急躁或者焦虑。
例如：He's always got ants in his pants before the examinations. 每逢考试，他总坐立不安。
4.when pigs fly不可能发生的事“要是你的话能相信，猪都能飞上天了！——在汉语里我们说猪能飞上天，是表示不可能的事情。
妙趣横生的动物习语英语习惯用语
妙趣横生的动物习语英语习惯用语英语中也有许多与动物相关的习语、谚语和典故，它们生动而又贴切，精巧而诙谐，彰显着西方文化和民俗中的智慧与风情，英语因之变得面目可亲、妙趣横生。
今天我们就来看看英语中一些有趣的习惯用语。
dog1. Love me, love my dog. 爱屋及乌“爱屋及乌”，表明狗已经被当成和人一样的家庭成员来看待了。
2. Every dog has his day. 人人皆有得意时I have seen ordinary people suddenly become important. This is a case of every dog has his day.我曾经看过普通人突然之间成了大人物的情况，这就是所谓“人人皆有得意时”。
“三十年河东，三十年河西”，“风水轮流转”也可以表示不太好的意思。
比如，某人考试作弊却没被老师发现，因此得了高分，许多人知道以后都愤愤不平，觉得很不公平。
可是，下面这个人就很看得开，他说：Don’t worry about her. Every dog has his day. She will eventually suffer f or all the bad things she is doing.不要管她。
每个人的那一天总会来临的。
最终她会为她现在所作的坏事付出代价的。
所以，every dog has his day完整的意思应该是每个人都有那个他该得到的时刻。
这个时刻也许是好, 也许是坏。
这个习语也可以说成every dog has its day，意思是一样的。
3. to be in the doghouse失宠或遭受困难字面上看就是把一个人放进狗窝，而实际的意思就是失宠或遭受困难外国人是很爱狗的，通常把狗养在家里与孩子一起，当做家庭一分子。
如果父母对狗不好，就把狗赶到外面的犬舍（doghouse）里，不准再进家里。
所以这句习语，后来也有一种处分或冷落的意味。
