講的是狡猾的猴子哄騙頭腦簡單的貓兒,替它從爐火中取出烤熟的栗子來。貓兒應(yīng)命去做,結(jié)果貓爪子被火燒傷了,而取出的栗子卻被猴子吃光了。
追根嗍源,遠(yuǎn)在公元前3世紀(jì)的《伊索寓言》中就有這個故事,不過沒有題目。cat\'s paw常用來比喻a person used as a tool by another;one who is used merely for the convenience of a cleverer or stronger person之意。
按其內(nèi)涵,這個成語與漢語成語“為虎作倀”所比喻的意義相似,僅是動物的形象不同cat\'s paw除了單獨(dú)做復(fù)合名詞使用外,還構(gòu)成to make a cat\'s paw of sb(利用某人做為工具或爪牙)eg:It is easy for him to be used as a cat\'s paw of evil-doing.I am afraid that he is making a cat\'s paw of you。.。

1)(Achilles'heel(致命的弱點(diǎn))
這個短語來源于古希臘神話。Achille 是古希臘傳說中的一位杰出英雄,他在特洛伊戰(zhàn)爭中身經(jīng)百戰(zhàn),屢建功勛。據(jù)說,Achille 出生時也只是一個極其普通的孩子。他的母親為了鍛煉他堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志,造就他一副刀槍不入的鋼鐵之軀,便倒提著他的身體放到環(huán)繞地獄的河--冥河中去侵泡。果然,經(jīng)過浸泡他的身體變成了一副鋼筋鐵骨,任何兇惡的敵人也不是他的對手。但是,他的一雙腳后跟卻因握在母親的手里,始終沒有浸泡到冥河之中。這樣,他的腳后跟與普通人的一樣,這也就成了這位英雄的致命弱點(diǎn)。后來,在一次戰(zhàn)斗中,被他的仇敵射中了這只腳后跟。這位戰(zhàn)功赫赫、所向無敵的英胸最終死于自身的這一致命弱點(diǎn)。這個短語還有 the heel of Achille 這一變體,均作『致命的弱點(diǎn)』解。
2)Cain'heresy(惡魔異端邪說)
Cain n.〈圣經(jīng)〉該隱(亞當(dāng)之子該隱在舊約全書中,是亞當(dāng)和夏娃的長子,他出于忌妒而謀殺了他的弟弟亞伯并作為逃犯而被判罪。)[喻]殺弟者; 殺人者; 兇手; 惡魔

1、Pandora's box(潘朵拉的盒子) :普羅米修斯(Prometheus)為人類盜來了天火,激怒了宙斯(Zeus)。
Zeus決定懲罰人類,于是他命令火神造出一個美貌的女人 Pandora,讓她去勾引Prometheus的弟弟埃比米修斯(Epimetheus)。結(jié)果Epimetheus上當(dāng),接近了 Pandora,Pandora于是就將手中的盒子打開,放出了里面的罪惡、災(zāi)難、疾病、不幸,只留下了“希望”在盒子里。
于是Pandora's box就成了“災(zāi)難的根源”的代名詞。2、the sword of Damocles(達(dá)摩克利斯之劍):Damocles是敘拉古王朝的一位大臣,非常羨慕帝王的榮華富貴。
一天,國王讓他坐在王位上,在 Damocles的頭上用一根頭發(fā)懸一把利劍,告訴他王權(quán)的危險就象那把劍一樣,隨時可能降臨。因此the sword of Damocles就成了“富貴中隱藏的危險”的同義語,也可以指形勢危急,千鈞一發(fā)。
3、Damon and Pythias :Damon和Pythias是好朋友。Pythias出事被判了死刑,為了使他能夠回家探視親人,Damo留在牢中作人質(zhì),如果Pythias不按時返 回,就處死Damon。
當(dāng)期限滿,臨處刑之際,Pythias及時趕回。國王深受感動,將二人全部釋放,因此,Damon and Pythias意思就是“生死之交”。
4、Penelop's web:源自史詩《奧德賽》(Odyssey)。泊涅羅珀(Penelop)是奧底修斯(Odysseus)的妻子,以忠貞而著稱。
特洛伊戰(zhàn)爭持續(xù) 了十年,Odysseus在返家的途中又耽擱了十年。在這漫長的二十年中,許多王公貴族向Penelop求婚,她都托辭說必須等織完布后才能予以考慮,一 到晚上,她又將白天織好的布再拆開。
因此Penelop's web就成了一項(xiàng)永遠(yuǎn)也完不成的工作。5、apple of discord:意思是“不和的根源、發(fā)生糾紛的事端”。
佩琉斯和忒提斯舉行婚禮時忘記了邀請不和女神厄里斯(Eris)。這位女神大為惱火,留下 一個刻有“獻(xiàn)給最美者”的金蘋果,引起了雅典娜、赫拉和阿芙羅狄忒的紛爭。
此事導(dǎo)致漫長的特洛伊戰(zhàn)爭(Trojan War)。擴(kuò)展資料:希臘神話文獻(xiàn)記載最早的幾部參考文獻(xiàn)當(dāng)推荷馬的兩部史詩:《伊利亞特》和《奧德賽》。
除此之外的這方面的史詩都被歸結(jié)到了《史詩集成》,但這些作品到現(xiàn)今基本已經(jīng)全部不可靠了。盡管這部合集原來的名字稱為“荷馬贊歌”,但其實(shí)際上和荷馬沒有任何關(guān)系,它們實(shí)際上是從被稱為抒情詩時期早期流傳下來的贊美詩。
荷馬基本同期的詩人赫西俄德在其作品《神譜》中全面的記錄了關(guān)于世界的形成,眾神,提坦和巨人的起源的早期希臘神話以及詳細(xì)的族譜。赫西俄德的《工作與時日》系統(tǒng)地記錄了當(dāng)時農(nóng)耕生產(chǎn)的知識,表現(xiàn)了平靜而優(yōu)美的農(nóng)村生活場景。
其中包括了對普羅米修斯, 潘多拉以及五個時代的描寫。這些詩篇給予了在那個危險的時期最好生活方式的建議和全貌。
