As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the words that are used. Let’s look at the words about describing animals. Most phrases in Chinese about the dog. For example, “ a homeless dog”, “a running dog”, and “ a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings.
But in western countries, dogs are considered honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use dogs to describe positive behavior. For example, ”You are lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “Every dog has its day” means__________. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means “ very tired”. The words about animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures.
