小羊的英文

在很多人看来
羊是非常可爱的动物
给孩子看的动画片也有不少关于羊的
外有小羊肖恩内有喜羊羊
不过听到英语“You are like sheep”
可别以为是在夸你像小绵羊一样可爱
这其实是句损人的话呢

You are like sheep是在损人!
like sheep是一个固定短语
if people behave like sheep , they all do what the others are doing, without thinking for themselves.
翻译过来就是盲从，没有主见，即墙头草。
You are like sheep.
=你真没主见。
如果跟朋友聚会，问去哪、吃啥，人家都回你个Whatever或Anyway（随便），你就可以说“You are like sheep.”
例句：
They actually know nothing about what fashion is. They’re only following others like sheep.
她们根本不知道什么是时尚，只不过是在盲从而已。

You cannot do the teamwork well if you just follow your team leader like sheep.
如果你只是盲目跟从你的团队领导，你就不能很好地完成团队合作。
此外sheep还有胆小鬼的意思
也不是什么好词
所以英文里听到用sheep来形容人
就先别往好处想了
Are you a man or are you a sheep?
你是个男子汉，还是个懦夫？
The sheep always say they are careful, the cheapskate always say theyare scanty.
胆小鬼往往自称心细，吝啬鬼往往自称节省。
英语里还有许多关于sheep的表达
而且都不能简单的从“羊”理解
往下看
或许能让你以后少走一点弯路
