生活英语：“You are like sheep”！小心被损了还不知道

说起“羊”，大家会想到什么呢, 还记得当时被喜羊羊霸占了的电视, 一直纠结灰太狼为什么一直没吃到他们, 羊还是非常可爱的动物

外有小羊肖恩内有喜羊羊

不过听到英语“You are like sheep”，可别以为是在夸你像小绵羊一样可爱，这其实是句损人的话哦。

like sheep是一个固定短语。

If people behave like sheep, they all do what the others are doing, without thinking for themselves.

翻译过来就是盲从，没有主见，即墙头草。

You are like sheep.=你真没主见。

如果跟朋友聚会，问去哪、吃啥，人家都回你个Whatever或Anyway（随便），你就可以说“You are like sheep.”

例句：

Most of the people follow the media like sheep and never question their truthfulness.

大多数人盲目的相信媒体的报道，从不怀疑它们的真实性。

此外sheep还有胆小鬼的意思，意思大多都是不好的，所以英文里听到用sheep来形容人，就先别往好处想了。

例句：

Are you a man or are you a sheep?

你是个男子汉，还是个懦夫？

The sheep always say they are careful, the cheapskate always say they are scanty.

胆小鬼往往自称心细，吝啬鬼往往自称节省。

英语里还有许多关于sheep的表达，并且都不能简单的从“羊”理解，赶紧往下看，认识他们吧。
