西方人也喜欢猫,并将猫养为宠物。但是黑猫却让西方人心生恐惧,尤其是英国人,他们将黑猫与女巫联系在上起。如果是在一个漆黑的星期五晚上碰上一只黑猫,便预示着此人会遭厄运。在英国古代的传说中,人们认为妖魔常变成黑色的动物,尤其是黑猫,还有人说黑猫就是巫婆变的。黑猫有九命,巫婆有变九次的魔法。杀死一只黑猫,她还可以再变八次。所以英语的猫还含有"心地恶毒的女人,爱说人坏话的女人"等意思。如,She is a cat(她是个包藏祸心的女人),Mrs Smith is a perfect cat(史密斯太太是个地地道道的长舌妇),The man and his wife lead a cat and dog life, and both are miserable (他们夫妻俩经常吵架,两人都感到痛苦)。It's difficult to get a man to bell the cat(敢于在危险中挺身而出的人不容易找到)。与猫有关的成语也很多,如:A cat has nine lives(猫有九命--自有天相),Cats hide their claws(猫总是藏起自己的爪子--知人知面不知心),All cats are grey in the dark (黑暗处的猫都是灰色的--人未出名时看起来都差不多),A gloved cat catches no mice(戴手套的猫抓不到老鼠--不愿吃苦的人成不了大事业),The cat shuts its eyes when stealing cream(掩耳盗铃,自欺欺人)。Care killed the cat(忧虑伤身), Let the cat out of bag(无意中泄露秘密),There's more ways than one to kill a cat(有的是办法),When the cat is away, the mice will play(猫不在,老鼠玩得自在),,like a cat on hot bricks(焦躁不安,如热锅上的蚂蚁),not a cat in hell's chance(毫无机会)。

1. Decision thinking is not unlike poker — it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think. (NMET2000. C 篇)2. Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.(NMET1999. D篇)3. First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Format in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecolab poly technique.(NMET2003.C篇)4. It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. That is, the growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to the increased use of the Internet.(NMET2003.E篇)5. Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.(NMET2001. E篇) A 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor St. Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral(葡萄牙海军上将) of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.Coming in a close second——and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant island——is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbour, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory(智利领土). They share one street, a small airport and a few hours of television per day.。
