1. Cats hide their claws.

"猫藏利爪而不露"，意思是，告诫那些与人交往毫无戒备之心的人，意思与"知人知面不知心"差不多。

2. The cat shuts its eyes when stealing cream.

这一句是嘲笑那些掩耳盗铃者。（猫咪喜欢偷奶油吗？这好像是老鼠喜欢做的事情哦。）

3. The cat did it.

做错了事情，用"这是猫干的"来推卸责任。可能是因为猫咪喜欢到处乱跑吧，难免会造成一点小乱子啦！

4.A cat has nine lives.

英语国家的人相信，猫这种动物命大，福大，造化大。2001年，美洲动物医疗协会杂志刊登过一份研究报告，研究人员调查了132起猫从高空坠地的事件，坠地的平均高度是六层楼，结果百分之九十的猫坠地后都存活下来了。它们在空中灵活地翻转身体，四肢着地，爪子上的肉垫大大缓解了坠地时的冲力。古人对此肯定也有所了解，认为"猫有九条命"（A cat has nine lives.）。下面这段故事讲一条名叫"船长"的小猎狗如何命大，就以"猫有九条命"做对照：

Mischief¹ was Captain's middle name. One time, I remember he decided² to take a look at the roof of the conservatory³. Portly little Captain found his way out on to the roof much to Mr Woolley's dismay. He then followed in the Captain's foot-step, or should I say paw prints, in order to rescue his poor hound. Unfortunately Mr Woolley slipped and spent the next a few days unconscious in hospital. But Captain was fine. Talk about a cat's nine lives!
