as we know, there are differences between western culture and chinese culture. we can see d ifferences when we pay attention to the way words are used. let’s look at some words about animals and plants. most expressions in chinese abo ut the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a do g catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. but in western countries, dogs are considered to be honest and good friends of humans. in english, people use the dog to describe positive actions. for example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. and “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. to describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. the word “dog-tired” means very tired. however, chinese love cats very much. but in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel(冷酷的). there are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.
