对动物好的英语演讲稿(精选多篇)
第一篇:动物英语
动物英语:“猛犸象”的比喻义
9月6日,俄罗斯馆萨哈(雅库特)共和国展览正式拉开了帷幕,馆内展示的不乏稀世珍宝——猛犸象骨雕刻品、奇特形状的金条,还有精美切割的雅库特钻石。
猛犸象,曾经是远古时代地球上最大的象,英语中它的名字是mammoth。因为是庞大动物的名字,所以mammoth这个词也就有了比喻义,表示“非常庞大”的意思:
mammoth enterprise:庞大的企业
obama healthcare reform bill is a mammoth job killer
这是一则新闻的标题:奥巴马医改政策是一个巨型“饭碗”杀手
很可爱的一个形容词哦,比起giant、enormous要形象很多,大家可以学着使用 动物英语:“安哥拉长毛兔”的国籍不是安哥拉
9月26日是世博安哥拉馆日,提及安哥拉,大家不一定都了解这个国家,不过都知道有名的安哥拉长毛兔吧——注意注意哦,这么有名的兔子其实和安哥拉这个国家完全没有半点关系,名字上的一致只是因为中文音译的关系:安哥拉这个国家名是angola,而安哥拉长毛兔的名字是angora,原产自土耳其。
可爱的angora rabbit分好几个breed,种类,比较著名的有english,英系安哥拉;french,法系安哥拉;german,德系安哥拉;satin angora,缎毛安哥拉(产自加拿大)与 giant angora,巨型安哥拉(产自美国)。
安哥拉兔兔是一种domestic rabbit,家兔,价值就在于又长又软的兔毛,18世纪中期,安哥拉兔兔也是法国皇室贵族很喜欢的一种宠物。兔兔那一身的毛是怎么剪下来的呢?通常情况下有这几种剪毛的方法:shearing, 用大剪刀剪,就像剪羊毛那样;combing, 梳理;plucking,摘、拔(这个会痛的吧?)
其实毛长了也会造成困扰:regardless of breed, all angoras must be monitored to prevent wool block, a condition where their digestive tracts become clogged with hair.
不论任何种类的长毛兔都要精心护理,以免兔儿把自己的毛吃进肚子,影响消化。(兔儿~你自己会梳毛不?)
看着这只毛茸茸的兔子,真的好想养一只天天蹂躏啊……大家如果要养安哥拉兔的话,记得及时帮它剪毛哦。 动物英语:“鸵鸟”背后的含义
世博会非洲联合馆里出售的原生态工艺品很受欢迎,其中有种鸵鸟蛋壳项链、来自有野生动物天堂美誉的博茨瓦纳。鸵鸟的英语说法大家也许都知道,可是你知道这个单词背后的比喻义么?
鸵鸟,ostrich,据说风沙来袭的时候喜欢把头插进沙子里,以为什么都看不到就可以避开危险,这种行为在我们自己身上也经常看到哦,所以这种自欺欺人的人,被称为ostrich:
stop being an ostrich! you gotta to face it!
别再自欺欺人啦,你要面对事实!
有个成语,掩耳盗铃,说的也是同样的意思,所以掩耳盗铃这种行为就被称为ostrich belief,或者ostrich policy。
不过话说回来,我们当真冤枉了鸵鸟同学,其实它根本不会把头埋在沙子里,虽说事实如此,但是英语中的这个说法却固定了下来。你是一个ostrich式的人吗?这样不好哦,记得一定要鼓起勇气,面对现实才能解决问题。
