Chapter 40 Fight out from Dalai

Dear Xiaowen: Have you ever seen "cross-eyed"? "Cross-eyed" is a kind of squinting. It is called cockeye in English, and the adjective is cockeyed. It means crazy, absurd, stupid, and all wrong in American colloquialism: Anyone who thinks Im kidding is cockeyed. (Anybody who thinks Im kidding is cockeyed.) The world is all going cockeyed. (This world is all going cockeyed.) The cockeye was conceived from the cock expression of cockfighting.Cockfighting has a history of thousands of years in the world, and it is found all over the world. Because it is cruel, it is banned in the United States except for three states (the three exceptions are Florida, Kansas and New Mexico), and the United Kingdom has also announced Break the law.

The cockfighting chicken is called gamecock, and it is very fierce.In English, it is very fun to describe "the bachelor at home", and it is related to the rooster: Like a cock courageous only at home. (Like a cock courageous only at home.) Every cock crows on its own dunhill. But those who win the cockfight are very proud. There is a word in English to describe the crowing of a rooster. This word is very strange. cock-a-doodle-doo Can you read it? Because the rooster is very airy, there is another strange character to describe its air, which is called cock-a-hoop Such as He was cock-a-hoop over his victory. He was cock-a-hoop over his victory.Another cocky word comes out to express this kind of meaning:

He is a cocky man. (He is a cocky guy.) He spoke with a cocky air. (He spoke with a cocky air.) George Eliot, a British female novelist in the 19th century, once described a person "He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow." (He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.) .This is a good sentence to write cocky like a rooster. The word crow has two meanings, one is the crow of a rooster and the other is a crow. dad August 17, 1974 P.S. Your first letter (August 10th) was received on the 14th after you returned to Taiwan.
