西方人除了喜欢将狗、猫使用在日常生活表达中之外,他们关于鸟的想象也是非常丰富的。在英文当中,我们可以看到许多关于bird的用法。


bird这个词,除了可以表示鸟之外,名词还可以表示 家伙;羽毛球;某类人(尤指古怪的人) ;动词可以表示 向……喝倒彩、起哄、猎鸟、观鸟 的意思。

在英国,bird 还可以指姑娘、少女,beautiful bird就有 美女 的意思!


所以与bird有关的词语,很多是不能从字面意思上理解为鸟的。我们一起来get一下有关bird的表达吧!

Do bird表面上的意思是“做鸟”,其实真要这么理解就错了 do bird= 像鸟儿一样被关在笼子里,意味着 “坐牢”

这里的bird,就有起哄的意思了,这个词组的意思是 (被)喝倒彩;受到(竖中指的)侮辱;(被)解雇 ,带有对人不利的意思
