志愿者高速公路救狗事件引发了大规模的“救狗”与“吃狗”之争，在这场争论中，发达国家对待狗的态度成为一个重要的辩题。外国人对待狗的态度到底是怎样的呢？以下几个与狗有关的英文俗语，或者能让我们从新的角度去看待这个问题。

1、sick as a dog

这里的dog带有很可怜，病怏怏的意思。而没有侮辱的意思。就是说你病得很厉害，看起来很虚弱。类似的带有dog的短语还有很多。

2、dog-eat-dog

残酷无情的竞争，损人利己的角逐，相互残杀

字面意思为：狗吃狗。大家都知道，狼有吃掉死去的同伴的习惯，而狗一向被视为温顺、友好的一类动物，正因为如此，“狗吃狗”的行为才会显得更加残酷、无情。

eg: 我们在一个竞争残酷的世界里经营着。We're operating in a dog-eat-dog world.3.work like a dog

直译为：像狗一样工作。引申为： 拼命地工作

4.dog-tired

adj.极度疲乏，累极了

5.sick as a dog

英语中dog一词有时含有贬义，比如俚语going to the dogs，表示“糟糕透顶”；dog in the manger，表示“犬占马槽，自私自利”。

对狗有所了解的人都知道，狗很贪吃，而且经常乱吃东西。当吃下去的食物导致身体不适时，狗的反应又往往比较剧烈，因此人们就用sick as a dog来描述病得很严重的样子。

6.Every dog has its day.人人都有得意日。

这句习语常用来在别人失意的时候劝慰别人，意思是每个人总会有碰到好运气或者成功的时候。可是用dog代替人好像不太适合中国人的传统，但是在国外，dog可是人类的好朋友，所以他们不会觉得用dog来形容人有什么不妥，这就是文化的差异了。

7.You can never teach an old dog new tricks.老年人旧习难改。

字面意思是：你不能教老狗学新的把戏。也就是说：年老守旧的人不易改变旧的作风或接受新的思想和事物。在英语中dog是一个中性偏褒的词，这里用dog来比喻老年人，可没有任何侮辱老爷爷老奶奶的意思。

8.a junkyard dog

讨厌的人junkyard是废旧物堆积、分类的地方，说白了就是垃圾堆。可想而知，垃圾堆里的狗一定很让人讨厌，所以这个词组现在常被用来形容讨厌的人。

9.one's bark is worse than one's bite

古今中外的人对狗的bark和bite肯定印象特别深刻，否则不会拿这两样来比喻人的行为。

这个短语指的是一个人尽管骂人刻薄，出言厉害，但不会真正去伤害别人。

eg: My boss is actually a good guy.His bark is worse than his bite.我老板其实是个好人，他呀，刀子嘴豆腐心。

10.be in the doghouse

倒了霉字面意思是“在狗窝里”，但作为一个俗语它的实际意思是“你使某人很生气”，以致于“你不得不在屋子外面跟自己家的狗睡在一起”，当然就是倒了霉。

11.Let sleeping dogs lie.不要招惹麻烦。从字面上来看，这个俗语的意思是不要去惹正在睡觉的狗，以为睡着了的狗不会咬人。实际上是劝告某人别招惹别人，以免自找麻烦。

第三篇：英文演讲——狗

Hello, everybody, first, let's think about several questions.Do you have a dog? If not, do you want to have one? Which kind of dogs do you like?

Today my presentation is about the dogs.I will introduce some famous dogs.After that, I'd like to spend 3-5 minutes on idioms and movies about dogs.At the end, there will be an interesting video.There are many kinds of dogs.The dog is playing an important role in our daily life.They are our friends.4吉娃娃

Let's start from a lovely little dog--Chihuahua.In general, Chihuahua is the smallest kind of dogs.It is popular by the most elegant, tough volition, vigilance, action quick, well-balanced physique and petite figure with people.Their demand of living space and shape is not high, usually, a general shelter space is enough to let them to live.They take a little exercise every day, so you don't need to spend too much time playing with them.Chihuahuas could stay at home for a whole day, so they can live with people in the appartment.The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog and is named after the state of Chihuahua in Mexico.A graceful, alert, swift-moving little dog with saucy expression, compact, and with terrier-like qualities of temperament.5大麦町

The Dalmatian(Croatian: Dalmatinac or Dalmatiner)is a breed of dog widely associated with Dalmatia, a region of Croatia, although the exact origin remain unknown.It is noted for its white coat with either black or liver spots.This popular breed of dog is a well-muscled, mid-sized, elegant dog with excellent endurance.Dalmatians are often considered to make good watchdogs and it is believed that Dalmatians may have been useful to fire brigades as guard dogs to protect a firehouse and its equipment.6北京犬

The Pekingese or Peke(also commonly referred to as a “Lion Dog”, “Pelchie Dog”, or “Foo(or Fu)Dog” due to their resemblance to Chinese guardian lions)is an ancient breed of toy dog, originating in China.They were the favored pet of the Chinese Imperial court, and the name relates to the city of Beijing where the Forbidden City resides.The breed has several characteristics and health issues related to its unique appearance.7德国牧羊犬

The German Shepherd Dog(GSD, also known as an Alsatian),(German: Deutscher Schäferhund)is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany.Because of their strength, intelligence and abilities in obedience training they are often employed in police and military roles, in forces around the world.Due to their loyal and protective nature, the German Shepherd is one of the most registered of breeds.They are especially well known for their police work, being used for tracking criminals, patrolling troubled areas, and detection and holding of suspects.8哈士奇

The Siberian Husky is a medium-size, dense-coat working dog breed that originated in eastern Siberia.The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family.It is recognizable by its thickly-furred double coat, sickle tail, erect triangular ears and distinctive markings.Huskies are an active, energetic and resilient breed whose ancestors came from the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic.They were initially sent to Alaska and Canada as sled dogs but rapidly acquired the status of family pets and show-dogs.八哥犬

The Pug is a small breed of dog with a wrinkly, short muzzled face, and curled tail.The word “pug” may have come from the Old English pugg or “puge”, which were affectionate terms for a playful little devil or monkey.The stern expression of the Pug belies its true sense of fun.Pugs are sociable dogs, and usually stubborn about certain things, but they are playful, charming, clever and are known to succeed in dog obedience skills.Pugs are often referred to as the comedians of the dog world.Pugs are sensitive to the tone of a human voice.While Pugs usually get along well with other dogs and pets, they generally prefer the company of humans and require a great deal of human attention;they may become anxious or agitated if their owner disregards them。

There are many idioms about dogs in both Chinese and English, as we have learned before, in English, we say “it is raining cats and dogs” to describe a heavy rain, and also “a dog’s life” is used to describe the hard and painful life.Furthermore, there are more examples;I have chosen some representative idioms and I hope we could have a general understand about the idioms through the interesting language.If you have your day, it is a good news for you.But if you are in dog days, it may be a bad news.Dog days means the hottest weeks of the summer

We call little pig piggy, little cat is kitty, also we call our lovely dog doggie.From the literal meaning of this phrase, it seems that it is a kind of bag to encase food for dogs.However, in fact, it is a lie to conceal the discomfiture of western people.When they are dealing with the reduntant food after their dinner in the restaurants, they feel it is a waste to throw the rest food, however, asking to take it home is not a gentleman's behavior.So they asked the waiter to encase the food into a bag for their dogs.Actually, the dogs have little chance to enjoy the delicious food inside the doggie bag.Gradually, these bags are called doggie bags.So next time, if there is a lot of reduntant food in front of you, don't forget make a snap to the waiter and say“waiter, I'd like a doggie bag!” You konw, thrift is always a virtue.电影 狗旅馆

Orphaned siblings Andi(Emma Roberts)and Bruce(Jake T.Austin), have been forced to hide their ownership of their beloved dog, Friday, as they move from one foster home to another in Central City.They deceive a pawn shop to get money for hamburgers for themselves and the dog, but are caught.Their social worker Bernie(Don Cheadle)reprimands them, but helps them to minimize the damage.They secretly turn a closed hotel into a home for Friday and any other strays they can find.They are joined by a guy named Dave(Johnny Simmons)and a girl named Heather(Kyla Pratt), both of whom work at a pet store;Dave and Andi soon develop crushes on one another.They are later joined by a kid who lives nearby named Mark(Troy Gentile), who likes Heather, although she does not return the feelings.The kids rescue many dogs, and Bruce invents and constructs many ingenious machines, using parts he steals from his foster parents, to help feed the dogs and provide sanitary facilities, exercise and entertainment to them.The dogs are quick in learning how to use the machines.Bernie is pleased to tell them they can move from the foster home they hate to a new one that is a few hours away.Even though this may be their last chance to be placed in a foster home together, they decline as they care too much about the dogs to abandon them, but they cannot tell Bernie this reason because they might be forbidden to continue their care for the dogs.One night while Andi and Dave are at a party(which turns into a disaster when Andi explains about what her parents were and ends up getting punch on her dress, causing her to leave the party in tears), the machines fail and the dogs go wild and cause so much noise that the cops are called.The dogs are taken to a pound and Bruce and Andi's foster parents kick them out for stealing, and as predicted, they are sent to separate foster homes.The pound prepares to put the dogs down, but Friday escapes and gets to Dave.The two reunite all of the kids and they decide to save the dogs despite the fact that they are going to get in big trouble.They break the dogs out of the pound and try to lead them over the county line to an animal shelter there that has a no kill policy, but as the dogs get close to the hotel, they turn and run there as that is their home.The kids and a massive crowd of people follow.At first, Animal Control tries to take them back, but Bernie, having seen what the kids did, makes a speech in favor of the dogs as the kids rescued so many strays and gave them a home, something he had been trying to do with the kids he dealt with.Also, when he introduces the two twin dogs, Viola and Sebastian, this makes reference to the play, “Twelfth Night”.The characters Viola and Sebastian are also twins in “Twelfth Night”.With donations from the people of the city, the hotel ends up fixed up and turned into an actual hotel for dogs named The Hotel For Dogs.The kids all work there, Andi and Dave kiss, and Mark starts to win Heather over.Bernie and his wife end up adopting Andi, Bruce, and Friday.101斑点狗 Pongo and Missis Pongo(or just Missis)are a pair of Dalmatians.They live with the newly married Mr and Mrs Dearly(their “pets”;dogs allow humans to think they are the owners when it is really the other way round)and their two nannies, Nanny Cook and Nanny Butler.Mr Dearly is a “financial wizard” who has been granted exemption from income tax for life and lent a house by the Outer Circle of Regent's Park as a favour for wiping out the government debt.Before marrying, the Dearlys lived in bachelor flats with their nannies.After marriage, they all move in together and the nannies decide to train as a cook and a butler to match their surnames.Missis gives birth to a litter of 15 puppies, including the Cadpig, Lucky and Patch.The Dearlys are concerned that Missis will not be able to feed them all and the humans join in to feed them.Mrs Dearly looks for another dog to act as a wet nurse and by chance finds an abandoned dalmatian mother in the middle of the road in the pouring rain.She has the dog treated by a vet and gives her the name Perdita, from the Latin for “lost”.Later Perdita tells Pongo about her lost love and the circumstances that led to her being abandoned in the middle of the road.Mr and Mrs Dearly are invited to a dinner party hosted by Cruella de Vil, an intimidating and very wealthy woman with one side of her hair coloured white and the other side coloured black.They meet her furrier husband and her abused cat, and discover her love of pepper, very high temperatures, and fixation with furs.They are disconcerted by her suggestion that animals which are not valuable should be drowned, including her own cat's kittens.Shortly after the dinner party the puppies disappear.The humans fail to trace them but through the “Twilight Barking”, a form of communication by which dogs can relay messages to each other across the country, the dogs manage to track them down to Hell Hall, the ancestral home of the de Vil family in Suffolk.Pongo and Missis try to explain to the Dearlys where the puppies are but fails.The dogs then take the decision to run away and find them.They explain to Perdita that she should stay behind and look after the Dearlys.After a journey cross country, they are met by the Colonel, an Old English Sheepdog who shows them Hell Hall and tells them its history.He tells them to rest overnight and that they will see their puppies the next day.They then discover there are 97 puppies including their own 15 and many others who later turn out to have been legally bought.They also discover Cadpig's love of television.Cruella de Vil appears and tells the crooks in charge of Hell Hall that the dogs must be slaughtered and skinned as soon as possible because of the publicity surrounding the theft of the Dearlys' pups.Pongo and Missis devise an escape plan and agree that they must take all the puppies with them, not just their own 15.They escape on the day before Christmas Eve.Cadpig is too weak to walk the long distance from Suffolk to London so she is lent a toy carriage by Tommy, the Colonel's 2 year old “pet”.When the cart loses a wheel, they have a rest on the hassocks of a country church to escape the cold.The group almost meet Cruella as she drives towards a burning building;Pongo says that they need a miracle and find one when they are offered a lift in a removal van.Having previously rolled in soot to disguise their white hair, they are able to hide in the darkness of the removal van with the help of a Staffordshire terrier whose pets are the movers.When they arrive back in London they find Cruella's(empty)house.Her cat is still there and invites them in to destroy Cruella's collection of animal skins and fur coats.She gladly joins in as revenge for her lost kittens.The Dalmatians then return to the Dearlys' house where they are not recognised due to being covered in soot.They try again, bursting through the door and rolling around on the floor to get rid of the soot.Mr Dearly then recognises them and sends out for steaks to feed them.Later the cat drops by to tell them Cruella has fled.The shock of discovering her furs have been destroyed has turned the black side of her hair white and the white side green.She has also abandoned Hell Hall.It has been put up for sale and Mr Dearly buys it with a sum of money he has been given by the government for sorting out another tax problem.He renames it to Hill Hall and intends to use it to start a “dynasty of Dalmatians”(and a “dynasty of Dearlys” to take care of them).Finally, Perdita's lost love, Prince(the one hundred and first dalmatian)visits.His “pets” can clearly see that the two wish to be together and allow him to stay with the Dearlys.

第五篇：狗的英文

Americans use many expressions with theword dog.People in the United States lovetheir dogs and treat them well.They taketheir dogs for walks, let them play outsideand give them good food and medical care.However, dogs without owners to care forthem lead a different kind of life.Theexpression, to lead a dog's life, describes aperson who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dogworld.That means many people arecompeting for the same things, like goodjobs.They say that to be successful, aperson has to work like a dog.This meansthey have to work very, very hard.Suchhard work can make people dog-tired.And,the situation would be even worse if theybecame sick as a dog.Still, people say every dog has its day.Thismeans that every person enjoys a successfulperiod during his or her life.To besuccessful, people often have to learn newskills.Yet, some people say that you cannever teach an old dog new tricks.Theybelieve that older people do not like to learnnew things and will not change the waythey do things.Some people are compared to dogs in badways.People who are unkind or uncaringcan be described as meaner than a junkyarddog.Junkyard dogs live in places wherepeople throw away things they do notwant.Mean dogs are often used to guardthis property.They bark or attack peoplewho try to enter the property.However,sometimes a person who appears to bemean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.A junkyard is not a fun place for a dog.Manydogs in the United States sleep in safe littlehouses near their owners' home.Thesedoghouses provide shelter.Yet they can becold and lonely in the winter.Husbands and wives use this doghouse termwhen they are angry at each other.Forexample, a woman might get angry at herhusband for coming home late or forgettingtheir wedding anniversary.She might tell himthat he is in the doghouse.She may not treat him nicely until heapologizes.However, the husband maydecide that it is best to leave things aloneand not create more problems.He mightdecide to let sleeping dogs lie.Dog expressions also are used to describethe weather.The dog days of summer arethe hottest days of the year.A rainstormmay cool the weather.But we do not wantit to rain too hard.We do not want it to raincats and dogs.This VOA Special English Program Words andTheir Stories was written by Jill Moss.I amFaith Lapidus.文本来源于普特论坛[report整理]SENEWS-2013-02-17

现在是美国之音特别英语词语典故栏目。

美国人使用的很多短语里面都含有dog，狗这个词。美国人很喜欢狗，对他们的狗非常友好。他们会带狗去散步，让狗在户外玩耍，给他们良好的食物和医疗。然而，没有主人照料的狗就过着完全不同的生活。有一个短语，to lead a dog's life，就是用来描述生活不尽如人意的人。

有人说，我们生活在一个竞争激烈的世界(dog-eat-dogworld)。这句话的意思是说，许多人在为同样的事情竞争，比如好的工作机会。他们说，为了成功，人必须work like a dog，意思是说，必须非常非常努力的工作。这么努力的工作会把人弄的筋疲力尽(dog-tired)。然后，如果他们病得非常严重(sick as adog)，情况会更糟糕。

人们还说every dog has itsday。这句话是说，每个人在他或她的生命中都有一段快乐的日子。人在他或她的生命中都有一段快乐的日子。为了成功，人们必须经常学习新的技能。然而，有人说you can never teach anold dog new tricks，他们相信年长的人不喜欢学习新知识，不会改变他们的思维方式。

有些人的劣性被比作狗。不友好或者冷漠的人会被描述成asmeaner than a junkyarddog。Junkyard dogs生活在人们扔废品的地方。吝啬的狗(Meandogs)经常守护着他的财产。如果有人试图接近他们的财产，他会狂吠或者攻击人。然而，有时候看上去吝啬或者威胁性强的人并不一定很坏。我们会说hisbark is worse than his bite。

废品旧货栈(junkyard)对狗来说并不是好玩的地方。在美国，许多狗住在他的主人家附近的安全的小房子里。这些狗屋给他们提供了庇护所。但是在冬天，他们会感到很冷很孤单。

丈夫或妻子在相互生气的时候，会使用狗窝(doghouse)这个短语。比如，一个妻

子由于丈夫回家晚了或者忘记结婚周年纪念日而生气，她可能会对他说，他isin the doghouse。

直到他道歉她才会回心转意。然而，丈夫可能会决定顺其自然，以免制造出更多问题。他可能决定别惹麻烦(to let sleepingdogs lie)。

包含dog的短语也被用来描述天气。The dog days ofsummer是一年中最热的天气。一场暴雨可能会使天气凉爽下来。但是我们不想雨下的太大了。我们不希望to rain cats anddogs。
