製造動靜：【進軍VOA】讀十句 words and their stories--Cat part 1

 
Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he looks like the cat that ate the canary.Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches.So if you play cat and mouse with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The saying that looks like something the cat dragged in describes something in bad condition.Two old and funny expressions describe something that is the best or finest. Americans might say that something is the cat's meow and the cat's pajamas.
