趣味动物英语：牛马猴
<p>趣味动物英语：牛马猴</p><p>说过了老鼠、豹子、蛇，再来说说牛、马、猴。这三种动物可以说和我们人类是密切相关。以前没有现代化机器的时候，农民都用牛耕地。牛还提供大量的乳制品。在汽车出现以前，马可是重要的交通工具。猴子么，就是我们人类的近亲了。这三种动物都对我们的语言造成什么样的影响呢？一起来看看吧。 1. <span word="Why">Why</span> <span word="buy">buy</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cow">cow</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="milk">milk</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="free">free</span>?</p><p>何必为了一棵树而放弃整片森林。 说真的这句话我也许翻的不太好，但我也想不出更好的翻法。这是有一次我跟一个老美谈及他为什么一直都不结婚，他的意思是：他现在身边有那么多女孩对他都很好，他爱跟出去谁就跟谁出去，为什么要把她们娶回家放着呢? 这时他就说了这一句：<span word="Why">Why</span> <span word="buy">buy</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cow">cow</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="milk">milk</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="free">free</span>? 是不是很有意思呢? <span word="Cow">Cow</span> 还有些特殊的用法，<span word="Have">Have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cow">cow</span> 的意思是“生气”，例如你说“<span word="Don">Don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cow">cow</span>!”就是说“唉呀，你不要生气啦！” 如果说“<span word="She">She</span> <span word="looks">looks</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cow">cow</span>.”则是说人家长得很胖的意思。 2. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="hungry">hungry</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="horse">horse</span>.</p><p>我好饿，我可以吃下一匹马。 这个表达是惯用法，当你很饿很饿的时候，你就可以这么说：<span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="hungry">hungry</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="horse">horse</span>.你可不要自己乱改成其它动物。一般都是说 <span word="I">I</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="horse">horse</span>. 可以接受的改编是：<span word="I">I</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hog">hog</span>.不过当然还是<span word="horse">horse</span>最正宗了。</p>
