在很多人看來
羊是非常可愛的動(dòng)物
也有不少關(guān)于羊的動(dòng)畫片
外有小羊肖恩內(nèi)有喜羊羊
不過聽到英語“You are like sheep”
可別以為是在夸你像小綿羊一樣可愛
這其實(shí)是句損人的話呢
like sheep是一個(gè)固定短語
翻譯過來就是盲從，沒有主見，即墻頭草。
You are like sheep.
=你真沒主見。
例句：
They actually know nothing about what fashion is. They’re only following others like sheep.
她們根本不知道什么是時(shí)尚，只不過是在盲從而已。
You cannot do the teamwork well if you just follow your team leader like sheep.
如果你只是盲目跟從你的團(tuán)隊(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，你就不能很好地完成團(tuán)隊(duì)合作。
此外sheep還有膽小鬼的意思
也不是什么好詞
所以英文里聽到用sheep來形容人
就先別往好處想了
Are you a man or are you a sheep?
你是個(gè)男子漢，還是個(gè)懦夫？
The sheep always say they are careful, the cheapskate always say they are scanty.
膽小鬼往往自稱心細(xì)，吝嗇鬼往往自稱節(jié)省。
英語里還有許多關(guān)于sheep的表達(dá)
都不能簡(jiǎn)單的從“羊”理解
往下看
或許能讓你以后少走一點(diǎn)彎路

例：
Uncle Joe is the black sheep in the family.

但是，我們不應(yīng)能讓那些害群之馬來領(lǐng)頭。
