英语与汉语动物象征意义的不同
The Difference between English and Chinese Animal Symbolic Significance
There are many kinds of animals in the nature, and we often use some animal words both in English and Chinese. Animal words are closely connected to custom, belief, history and other elements. Therefore, animal words have own symbolic significance.
In order to explain the difference between English and Chinese animal symbolic significance, I will hold 5 examples to explain this question.
The first example is bat. In English, bat is the symbol of vampires, which stands for evil. When someone, especially an old woman, is referred to an old bat, she is thought to be silly, annoying, or unpleasant. Therefore, western people do not like bat at all. However, Chinese people have a different attitude toward bat. In Chinese customs, bat sounds similar to blessing. For this reason, bat stands for good luck, fortune in Chinese.
The second example is dog. In China, people often think dogs’ degree is not very important, and dog just is a tool for guarding the house. So, in Chinese there are many phrase, which is used to humiliating others, are connected with dogs. For instance, “dog’s leg”(狗腿子), “A filthy mouth cannot utter decent language” .(狗嘴吐不出象牙), “This is a dog’s life.”（这简直不是人过的日子）, “yellow do g (无赖)”, “dead dog (窝囊废)”, “die like a dog（潦倒而死）” and “dirty dog（坏蛋）”. Meanwhile, western people are friendly to dogs, and the dogs stand for loyalty, friends, good luck, and so forth. Some examples: “lucky dog(幸运儿)”, “top dog (担任最高职位者)”, “jolly dog”（兴高采烈的人)and “clever dog (聪明人)”.
The third example is dragon. Dragon is a typical animal comes from religion story. In ancient China, dragon is the symbol of the emperor. Therefore, in China, dragon stands for sacredness, power and fortune. On the contrary, western people do not hold the same attitude toward dragon, in fact, which is quite the opposite way. In English, dragon is a cruel and vicious creature. A typical English story always begin with the dragon kidnap a princess in a castle, and a knight or a prince will occur to
save the princess by killing the dragon. Therefore, when English people talk about the dragon, they will associate with demon and evil. English people often use phrase as the old dragon to symbolize demon, and dragon’s teeth stands for the origin of evilness.
The fourth example is elephant. In western country, people often think the elephant is a large volume, useless animal. For this reason, people often use white elephant refers to large and useless things. But in China, we just think elephant are large animals, and we have no other bad attitudes to the elephant.
The last example is lion. In English, lions are the king of the animals. They symbol courage, ferocious and majesty. In Britain, people often use some phrases to describe brave people like “regal as a lion（狮子般庄严）”, “bold as a lion”. From which we can see the Lion plays a very important role in their culture. Besides that, the British people even think the lion is the symbol of motherland. But in China, people often regard tiger as the king of the animals. So, when people translated the lion into Chinese, We often instead by tiger. Some examples: “a lion in the way”(拦路虎), “beard the lion”(虎口拔牙), “ as majestic as a lion ”(虎虎生威) and “in like a lion, out like a lamb ”(虎头蛇尾).
In conclusion, from the 5 examples we know the difference between Chinese and English animal symbolic significance. The difference may be inflected by various elements, such as legend, customary opinions, religion belief, and so on. When we learn language, we must consider the difference between Chinese and English and we should try our best to avoid making some mistakes.

人与动物的关系英语作文
人与动物的关系英语作文 Human beings are different from animals in many ways. One of the differences is the ability of human beings to build. It is true that many animals are builders. Birds make nests, and bees make hives. But no animal could build the pyramids or the Great Wall or the Eiffel Tower. The variety, size, and beauty of the structures built by human beings is simply unsurpassed. Another difference is the ability of human beings to use intelligence. Many animals are probably more clever than we realize, but no animal has the ability to write, to reason, or to speak. Only human beings can invent computers, make use of solar energy. Only human beings paint, draw, compose music, and write poetry. These are but a few of the differences between human beings and animals. It is our special abilities that give us power to affect the world for the benefit of all mankind. We should be thankful for those abilities and learn to use them in a more wise way. 1
