Lets look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, a homeless dog, a maddog,a running doganda dog catching a mouse, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, you are a lucky dogmeans you are a lucky person. And every dog has its day means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a persons serious illness, they saysick as a dog. The worddog-tiredmeans very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, catis often used to describe a woman who is cruel. There are many other examples of howcatis used differently as well. The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries. The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used. 1.
