题目内容

There are many idioms(习语)in English that are about animals.Today let's chat a little about some of the idioms about dogs that make English language fun and colorful.

We love dogs;they are our best friends.When you first started to learn English,your teacher might teach you a number of phrases about dogs,such as:“you are a lucky dog,” “I'm dog tired,” “every dog has its day,” or “our team was the underdog but won the first place at last.”

When I first got into high school。my English teacher used the idiom “dog-ear”,which interested me very much.This word can be used as a noun,a verb,and an adjective as well.As a noun,it means a turned-down(折叠的)corner of a page as a bookmark(书签).As a verb,it means someone makes a bookmark by turning down the corner of a page in the book.And,as an adjective,the word describes an old book with many broken pages.Examples:

John made a dog-ear(noun)of the page he was reading before closing the book.

Jane was reading a book;when the telephone rang,she dg-eared(verb)the page before answering the phone.

In the old room,the children found some dog-eared(adjective)books left there for more than 30 years.

The idiom “dog-ear” gives a lively image of a page being turned down like a curled(卷起来的)dog ear,but some dogs don't have curled ears;rather,they have pointed(竖起来的)ears.

A.Idioms about colors.                               B.Idioms about history.

C.Idioms about animals.                               D.Idioms about dogs.
