本文对英汉两种语言中不少与动物有关的习语比喻进行比较,它们既有相同之处,又有很大差别。这不仅反映了动物与人类生活息息相关,同时也反映了它们在不同文化中的不同作用,反映了文化,比喻及语言之间的密切关系。 This article compares many animal-related idioms in English and Chinese, which have similarities and differences. This not only reflects the animals are closely related to human life, but also reflects their different roles in different cultures and reflects the close relationship between culture, metaphor and language.
