老外说“You are a sheep”难道在说“你是小绵羊”？

不知道从什么时候开始我们给那些温顺善良的宝宝起名叫”小绵羊”但英文可不要说成You're a sheep小心别人和你翻脸!You're a sheep不是夸你!有人说你:You re a sheep可别以为夸你像小绵羊If a group of people are (like) sheep, they all behave in the same way or all behave as they are told, and cannot or will not act independently.如果一群人是或者像sheep，那么这群人行动则多会按照他们被告知的方式来做，而不能或不愿独立行事。除了我们熟悉的“羊”的意思之外，当sheep指人时还表示“没主见的人”You're a sheep=你真没主见,真是个墙头草例句：Don't ask him. He's just a sheep.不要问他，他就是个没有主见的人。You're a sheep更口语化的表达是：sheeple /ˈʃiːp(ə)l/=sheep+people=墙头草PS:这两种表达,最好不要当面说人家,即使是开玩笑,很不礼貌。其实许多关于sheep的表达都不是“羊”那么简单!继续往下看~~make sheep's eyes atmake sheep's eyes at意思是“向……含情脉脉地看着”、“多情而又害羞地看着”、“向……送秋波”。例：The girl made sheep's eyes at the handsome young man.姑娘含情脉脉地看着那个帅小伙。the sheep and the goatsthe sheep and the goats常喻指“好人与坏人”、“笨蛋与聪明人”、“失败者与成功者”。例：It is a difficult examination which was intended to separate the sheep from the goats.这是一个旨在区分优劣的严格考试。
