交谈中听到Eat like a bird 可不是像鸟一样吃东西啦

from 早餐英语|实用英文口语

看到这个表达,很多人会想象鸟儿啄食的画面。"eat" 是吃,"bird" 是鸟,字面理解好像是 "进食方式像鸟类"。但实际含义却和食量有关!今天卡卡老师带您揭开它的神秘面纱。"Eat like a bird"意思是 "吃得极少;饭量很小"。用于形容某人食量非常小的情况。这个短语的起源与鸟类生理特征有关:鸟类的胃容量较小,需要频繁进食但每次量少。后来被用来比喻人类进食量少的行为。例如:She eats like a bird to keep her figure.她为了保持身材吃得极少。My grandfather eats like a bird, but he's still healthy.我爷爷饭量很小,但身体依然健 康。原声再现:I always eat like a bird when I’m at festivals.过节的时候,我饭量都很小。Stuart, I'm full.史都华,我饱了。Full? You eat like a bird.饱了?你饭量太小了。表示吃得多的俚语:Eat like a horse狼吞虎咽,吃得很多(强调食量极大)。After the game, he ate like a horse and finished three bowls of pasta.比赛后,他狼吞虎咽地吃了三大碗意大利面。特点:马的食量惊人,用 “horse” 比喻 “大胃王”,无贬义,单纯描述食量大。 Eat like a pig吃得很多且吃相难看(狼吞虎咽、不顾形象)。Don’t eat like a pig at the dinner party—use your fork properly!别在宴会上狼吞虎咽 —— 好好用叉子!特点:pig 在此处侧重 “吃相粗鲁”,带有一定贬义,使用时需注意场合。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
