猫和老鼠求生记翻译成英语(鼠年到了,rat和mouse的短语也要学起来啦)

鼠年到了,rat和mouse的短语也要学起来啦

本年是阴历鼠年,在英语里寻常用the Year of the Rat来表现,固然用the Year of the Mouse来表现也没错。

不晓得是不是由于米老鼠的外貌太深化民意,大局部人看到mouse这个词就会以为是心爱的,惹人喜好的外貌,而看到rat这个词就会想到“一只老鼠坏了一锅汤”之类的负面外貌。

从体型上去说,rat的体型比mouse稍大,寻常有鸽子那么大,而mouse的体型较小,跟麻雀差不多。

Rat多生存在室外,最稀有的有褐鼠(brown rat)、黑老鼠(black rat),另有田鼠(field rat)、大足鼠(Himalayan field rat)等,寻常毁坏性较强,且会引发并转达鼠疫(bubonic plague)。

Mouse则多指家鼠(house mouse),寻常藏在家中偷吃食品,如今也有人将mouse当作宠物来养。

值得注意的是,rat的复数情势是rats,而mouse的复数情势是mice,可不要搞错了呀。

底下就随着我们学几个rat和mouse干系的英语短语吧。
