张静洁

go to the dogs堕落

dog eat dog自相残杀

make a pig of oneself猛吃猛喝；贪得无厌

work like a horse 埋头苦干

eat like a horse 狼吞虎咽

as strong as a horse 健壮如牛

put the cart before the horse 本末倒置

hold ones horse耐心

One man may steal a horse while another may not look over a hedge. 只许州官放火，不许百姓点灯。

A cat has nine lives. 猫有九命。

When the cat is away, the mice will play. 猫儿不在，老鼠玩得自在。

put ones monkey up 使某人生气

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. 树倒猢狲散。

Dont count your chickens before they are hatched. 未成事实，勿先乐观。

live like fighting cocks养尊处优

crow like a cock and snatch like a dog鸡鸣狗盗

as poor as a church mouse一贫如洗

to beat the grass and frighten the snake打草惊蛇

Dont warm a snake in your bosom. 别养虎为患。

How can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tigers lair?不入虎穴，焉得虎子？

glare like a tiger eyeing its prey虎视眈眈

like a duck to water轻而易举

Never offer to teach fish to swim. 不要班门弄斧。

a wolf in sheeps clothing 披着羊皮的狼

have a wolf by the ears处于危急境地

bring wolves into the house引狼入室

have a bee in ones head 神经不正常、胡思乱想

wait by the stump of a tree for the appearance of hare守株待兔

If you run after two hares you will catch neither. 脚踏两只船，必定落空。

smell a rat感到不妙

A rat crossing the street is chased by all. 老鼠过街，人人喊打。

When the fox preaches, take care of your geese. 狐狸在说教，当心被盗。
