和猫有关的英语俚语(总3页) -CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1-CAL-本页仅作为文档封面，使用请直接删除和猫有关的英语俚语Cat's pajamas ,cat's meow, cat's paw, to let the cat outof the bag ,look like the cat that ate the canary今天要讲的习惯用语都有这样一个关键词：cat。

谁都知道cat是猫。

我们要学的第一个习惯用语存在于英语和好几种其它的语言里。

它是： cat's paw。

Paw这个词的意思是脚爪，猫或者狗都有爪子，cat's paw从字面上解释当然是猫爪，但是作为习惯用语一定另有他意。

刚才说过cat's paw是好几种不同语言共有的习惯用语，原因也许是它出自一个在世界各地脍炙人口的寓言故事，说的是一只聪明的猴子，骗猫去为它从火里取出烤栗子或者烤肉来，结果可想而知：猴子美餐一顿，可怜的猫爪子却被烫满了水泡。

猫是被猴子愚弄利用的工具，猫爪也成了为他人火中取栗的牺牲品。

我们听个例子，进一步体会cat's paw是什么意思吧。

这是跟朋友说的一段知心话，规劝朋友要提防惯会甜言蜜语的Scott，因为Scott老是能鼓动别人为他个人谋私利：例句-1：Better stay away from that guy Scott. You'll do the hard work, he'll make the money, and you'll end up looking stupid and lose whatever you put in. I tell you, don't end up as a cat's pawfor him.他给朋友的忠告是：最好疏远Scott那家伙，因为你会辛辛苦苦地出力，而他却从中渔利，到头来你当了傻瓜还得赔上自己投入的一切，所以他再次正告朋友：别受Scott愚弄，充当为他火中取栗的牺牲品。
