鸡年即将到来,聊聊和鸡有关的英语短语和名人名言。肯德基有句著名的广告语“We do chicken right”。 网上有过关于这句广告语中文翻译的讨论,很多译文不乏幽默搞笑的成分:“我们做鸡是对的”、“我们做正确的鸡”’…… 英语中用来表示鸡的词不少,chicken、cock、hen、rooster、chick……chicken泛指鸡,小鸡或鸡肉,使用最广泛。KFC就是Kentucky Fried Chicken(肯塔基州炸鸡)。chicken还指胆小鬼、懦夫。chick是小鸡、小鸟、少妇的意思,美国有个乡村乐队就叫Dixie Chicks(南方小鸡)。cock和hen分别是公鸡和母鸡。一般应尽量避免使用cock表示“公鸡”,因为它在英语口语里是个“粗话”。rooster可以指所有雄性家禽,美语指公鸡。鸡年一般写作Year of the Rooster。
chicken out
译文:乐队没能演出,因为歌手在后台临时放弃了。

例句:As a painter,she cocks a snook at traditional techniques.

An egg today is better than a hen to-morrow. The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it. 一切事情的关键都是耐心。得到小鸡靠的是孵化鸡蛋,而不是打碎它。 Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill. He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.
