一些关于猫的英文表达，要不要了解一下？
爱猫养猫的你们怎么可以不了解一些“和猫相关”的表达呢？白老师贴心地准备了这些习语，让你们的英文如猫添翼！
Has the cat got your tongue ?
比较口语化的表达，用于生气地质问。意为：“舌头给猫叼走了吗？为什么不吭声？”
例句：Whats the matter? Has the cat got your tongue?
你怎么了？为什么不吭声？
let the cat out of the bag
“让猫从口袋中跑了出来”？意思是：“无意中泄密，说漏嘴”。
例句：I was trying to keep the party a secret, but Mel went and let the cat out of the bag.
我尽力守住要举办聚会这个秘密，可是梅尔一去就说漏了嘴。
like a cat on a hot tin roof
字面意思是“有如一只在滚烫铁（锡）皮屋顶的猫”；它和“热锅上的蚂蚁”有异曲同工之妙，都表示极度紧张焦虑，坐立不安。
例句：
Shes waiting for the doctor to call with her test results, so shes been like a cat on a hot tin roof all day.
她在等医生给她打电话，告诉她检查结果，所以她整天如坐针毡，焦虑不安。
相似的表达还有这个：
nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs
字面意思是“紧张得像个在摆满摇椅的屋子里的长尾猫”。也是用来形容人特别焦虑紧张。
例句：
What happened? You look nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
怎么了？你看起来心神不定的。
这表达用来凑字儿简直了
Look what the cat dragged in!
如果你说一个人“look like something the cat dragged in”意思就是他看起来很邋遢。此句“Look what the cat dragged in”同理，是带有一些讽刺戏谑的口吻来讲“看看这是谁来了？”暗指此人样子看起来很糟糕。
not have a cat in hells chance
意思是“毫无机会，根本不可能做到”
例句：They havent a cat in hells chance of getting over the mountain in weather like this.
天气如此，他们根本不可能翻越这座山。
play（a game of） cat and mouse with...
这个好理解“和某人玩猫戏老鼠的游戏”意思是“耍弄某人，和某人斗智斗勇”
例句：
The 32-year-old actress spent a large proportion of the week playing cat and mouse with the press.那位32岁的女演员这周大部分的时间都花在与媒体玩猫戏老鼠的游戏上。
I think he actually enjoys playing a game of cat and mouse with people who are trying to locate him. 我觉得他其实喜欢跟试图找到他的人玩猫捉老鼠的游戏。
put / set the cat among the pigeons
“猫入鸽群”显然会造成混乱，此习语意思是（言行）造成轩然大波，招惹是非。例句：
She told all the staff they would have to cancel their holidays, and that really set the cat among the pigeons.
她告诉所有工作人员，他们将不得不取消假期，这立刻引起轩然大波。就是这种鸽飞猫跳的效果
While the cats away , the mice will play.
猫不在，老鼠翻天；是不是很像中文的“山中无老虎，猴子称大王”？意思也差不多，就是管事儿的不在，下面的人就胡作非为起来。例句：
A: "If I leave my classroom for even a moment, I will come back to find the place in chaos."
A：“我离开教室哪怕一小会儿，这地方都会变得一团糟。”
B: "When the cats away, the mice will play."
B：“猫不在，老鼠翻天。”喜欢这篇文章的话可以加“白猫先生教英语”的公众号哦
