Lesson 59 In or out? 西方狗文化 西方世界，享有“Man’s best friend ”的狗，在西方具体文化表现中也大多数突显了其较高的地位。 第一，用“dog”来形容人，常常表示对一些人的赞扬，信任，这在汉语中是从未出现的。如a lucky dog(幸运儿）、a big dog(大款，保镖等）、a top dog(一个身居要职的人）。 第二 ，在西方，人们养狗的方式也与西方大相径庭。在一些英美国家，人绝不让狗吃人剩下的残羹冷炙，狗有专门的狗食。在超市， 狗食与人的食品放在一起销售，还有一些专门为狗提供服务的设施和商店，如：狗食店、狗餐厅、狗医院、狗旅社等。另外，还有专门为狗树碑立传、歌功颂德的。因此，狗成了他们的朋友，受到与人平等的尊重。 单词学习 bark v. 狗叫 press v. 按，压 paw n. 脚爪 latch n. 门闩 expert n. 专家 develop v. 养成 habit n. 习惯 remove v. 拆掉，取下 ★bark v 狗叫 狗在叫。 the dog is barking 那只狗老是对我叫 That dog always barks at me. somebody is barking 某人在咆哮 ★press v. 按, 压 ① vt.vi. 按，挤，压 你能帮我按一下那个钮吗？ Can you press that button for me please? ★expert n. 专家 Be an expert on/in sth. 在某一方面是专家 Be an expert at doing sth. 他是数学专家。 He is an expert in maths. 他是开门专家 He is an expert at opening the door. ★develop developing country 发展中国家 developed country 发达国家 boiling water 滚开水 ； boiled water 开水 ★habit n 习惯(指个人习惯) Develop a habit 养成……习惯 Enjoy the video and then answer some questions : Why did you train Rex to open the door?
