Решение 2.

Мы часто сравниваем черты характера людей с чертами животных.

1) Узнайте, как британцы и американцы используют эти сравнения.

Ответ:

As busy as a bee	Занят как пчела
As fast as a jaguar	Быстрый как ягуар
As happy as a pig in mud	Счастлив как свинья в грязи
As scared as a mouse	Напуган как мышь
As silly as a goose	Глупый как гусь
As strong as an ox	Сильный как бык
As tall as a giraffe	Высокий как жираф
As shy as a rabbit	Застенчивый как кролик
As brave as a lion	Храбрый как лев
As loyal as a dog	Преданный как собака

2) В вашей культуре. Как в России сравнивают черты животных с чертами людей? Какие сравнения похожи? Какие сравнения отличаются?

Ответ:

In Russia, we also have many similes with animals. Some are very similar to English ones, while others are different.

В России у нас тоже много сравнений с животными. Некоторые очень похожи на английские, а другие отличаются.

Similar comparisons: "brave as a lion" (храбрый как лев), "strong as an ox" (сильный как бык), "loyal as a dog" (верный как пёс), "busy as a bee" (трудолюбивый как пчела), and "cowardly as a rabbit" (трусливый как заяц).

Похожие сравнения: "храбрый как лев", "сильный как бык", "верный как пёс", "трудолюбивый как пчела" и "трусливый как заяц".

Different comparisons: For "silly" we usually say "silly as a chicken" (глупая курица). For "tall" we might say "tall as a watchtower" (высокий как каланча), not a giraffe. We don't have a common simile like "happy as a pig in mud".

Отличающиеся сравнения: Про глупого мы обычно говорим "глупая курица". Про высокого можем сказать "высокий как каланча", а не как жираф. У нас нет распространенного сравнения вроде "счастлив как свинья в грязи".

3) Придумайте свои собственные сравнения.

Ответ:

as brave as a tiger	храбрый как тигр
as talkative as a magpie	болтливый как сорока
as clean as a cat	чистоплотный как кошка
as small as an ant	маленький как муравей
as fast as a cheetah	быстрый как гепард
as shy as a mouse	застенчивый как мышь
as beautiful as a swan	прекрасный как лебедь
as tall as a giraffe	высокий как жираф
as slow as a turtle	медленный как черепаха
as ugly as a toad	уродливый как жаба
