WE’VE ALL HEARD ‘EM.We’ve all used ‘em:well-worn clichés
about animals that we use as metaphors
to describe one another.He’s quiet as a mouse.She eats like a bird.But what do these pithy
phrases tell us about animals?How quiet is a mouse?How much does a bird eat?When it comes to accurately depicting animals,are those who use these colorful expressions as wise as owls or as crazy as coots?Let’s take a look at some familiar animal clichés and see if there is a grain of truth,or just a grain of sand,in these pearls of wisdom.
我们都曾听说过,我们都曾使用过:那么些陈词滥调.
请逐个描述我们用于比喻的动物们.他安静得像老鼠一样.她像鸟一样吃东西.但关于动物,这些简练的说法告诉了我们什么呢?老鼠有多么安静?鸟会吃多少东西?当精确地描述动物时,我们用这些多样的表达是否看起来很蠢或很贫乏?让我们来看一些熟悉动物的陈词滥调,并看看里面是否有一点真实,或者不过是在这些智慧明珠中的一颗沙子.
