a cat has nine lives字面意思貓有九條命,舊時的英國人迷信貓的頑強(qiáng)生命力,故有貓有九命之說。該諺語又作“富有生命力的人”。

【例句】
The baby fell from the roof of the house, but nothing went wrong with him. His parents called him a cat that has nine lives.
這孩子從房頂上掉下來居然沒摔壞,他的父母說他命真大。

The modern belief that a cat has nine lives comes from this tradition.
現(xiàn)代人認(rèn)為貓有九條命,就是受了古埃及傳統(tǒng)的影響。
