Chapter 32 The wolf is coming!The wolf is coming!

Dear Xiaowen: More than sixty years ago, there was a writer in the United States named Jack London. His surname was exactly the same as that of the capital of the United Kingdom.He once wrote a novel called "The Call of the Wild". This book was published when he was thirty-three years old (1903). The mixed blood of Saint Bernard and other species mentioned to you in the letter of June 17, 2010 is strong and intelligent. Its master was killed by the Indians, and it avenged its master. , and made friends with the wolf.Once a year, it always returns to the place where its master died, whining for a while. ——This story shows that dogs are more interesting than humans in many ways.

Although wolf dogs are fierce, they are not as good as wolves.Wolves come in white, gray, brown, and black.Weighs a hundred pounds.The wolf dog only weighs 60 to 80 pounds. It is called a German shepherd dog, which is a "police dog" or "police dog". The female wolf dog is relatively tame and can be used to guide the blind (as a guide dog). There are many idioms about wolves in China and foreign countries. Please ask your grandma to tell you "wolf in embarrassment", "wolf in embarrassment" (wolf in embarrassment), "wolf's ambition", "wolf heart and dog lung" and "wolf down" (which happens to have the same meaning as English wolf down, but English wolf When used as a verb) "ghost crying wolf", "notorious", "cups and plates are messed up", "wolves are cruel", "wolves are everywhere".

There are thirty-seven stories about wolves in this book that you can read for yourself.The most famous of them is that the shepherd boy lied and shouted: "The wolf is coming!" (This is a grammatical sentence, but if the wolf is really coming, just shout Wolf! Wolf!). Come, no one will believe him when he shouts again.This story becomes the English idiom cry wolf, now let's make a sentence: Is she really sick or is she just crying wolf? Does that mean she's really sick, or is she just sounding a false alarm? cry wolf is to give a false alarm. After cry wolf too often, no one will believe the truth anymore. This is the punishment of a liar: He is not believed, even when he speaks the truth. ", English has "Wolves may lose their teeth, but not their nature." Wolves may lose their teeth, but not their nature.

Louisa M. Alcott, an American writer before Jack London, wrote the famous book "Little Women". She said that her purpose of writing the book was to keep the wolf from the door.There is a joke, the teacher asked the students: What do you think Miss Alcott meant by saying she was trying to keep the wolf from the door? (What do you think Ms. Alcott said she tried to keep wolves out of the door?) A student replied: I suppose she just didnt want the guys bothering her. (I think she just didn't want men bothering her.) This Why is it a joke?Because the meaning of Keep the wolf from the door is not "to keep the wolf from entering the door" but "to avoid starvation". Wolf has the meaning of "pervert" in American colloquialism. The student thought that wolf meant "pervert", so he twisted the whole meaning.

Wolf is a pervert, so wolf whistle is the whistling of a pervert, and a boy whistling to a girl is wolf whistle. A wolf's ears are erect and small.In English, it means "catch the wolf's ears", which is very similar to the Chinese "wolf", and also like "riding a tiger is hard to get off". Its like holding a wolf by the ears, bad to hold on, but worse to let go. Of course, it is bad because the ears are small and difficult to grasp; it is even worse because the wolf will bite again if it is released. Worse is the comparative of bad. He goes from bad to worse. (He goes from bad to worse.) "From worse to worse" is also written as "every worse". year".
