讲的是狡猾的猴子哄骗头脑简单的猫儿,替它从炉火中取出烤熟的栗子来。猫儿应命去做,结果猫爪子被火烧伤了,而取出的栗子却被猴子吃光了。
追根嗍源,远在公元前3世纪的《伊索寓言》中就有这个故事,不过没有题目。cat\'s paw常用来比喻a person used as a tool by another;one who is used merely for the convenience of a cleverer or stronger person之意。
按其内涵,这个成语与汉语成语“为虎作伥”所比喻的意义相似,仅是动物的形象不同cat\'s paw除了单独做复合名词使用外,还构成to make a cat\'s paw of sb(利用某人做为工具或爪牙)eg:It is easy for him to be used as a cat\'s paw of evil-doing.I am afraid that he is making a cat\'s paw of you。.。

1)(Achilles'heel(致命的弱点)
这个短语来源于古希腊神话。Achille 是古希腊传说中的一位杰出英雄,他在特洛伊战争中身经百战,屡建功勋。据说,Achille 出生时也只是一个极其普通的孩子。他的母亲为了锻炼他坚强的意志,造就他一副刀枪不入的钢铁之躯,便倒提着他的身体放到环绕地狱的河--冥河中去侵泡。果然,经过浸泡他的身体变成了一副钢筋铁骨,任何凶恶的敌人也不是他的对手。但是,他的一双脚后跟却因握在母亲的手里,始终没有浸泡到冥河之中。这样,他的脚后跟与普通人的一样,这也就成了这位英雄的致命弱点。后来,在一次战斗中,被他的仇敌射中了这只脚后跟。这位战功赫赫、所向无敌的英胸最终死于自身的这一致命弱点。这个短语还有 the heel of Achille 这一变体,均作『致命的弱点』解。

Cain n.〈圣经〉该隐(亚当之子该隐在旧约全书中,是亚当和夏娃的长子,他出于忌妒而谋杀了他的弟弟亚伯并作为逃犯而被判罪。)[喻]杀弟者; 杀人者; 凶手; 恶魔

1、Pandora's box(潘朵拉的盒子) :普罗米修斯(Prometheus)为人类盗来了天火,激怒了宙斯(Zeus)。
Zeus决定惩罚人类,于是他命令火神造出一个美貌的女人 Pandora,让她去勾引Prometheus的弟弟埃比米修斯(Epimetheus)。结果Epimetheus上当,接近了 Pandora,Pandora于是就将手中的盒子打开,放出了里面的罪恶、灾难、疾病、不幸,只留下了“希望”在盒子里。
于是Pandora's box就成了“灾难的根源”的代名词。2、the sword of Damocles(达摩克利斯之剑):Damocles是叙拉古王朝的一位大臣,非常羡慕帝王的荣华富贵。
一天,国王让他坐在王位上,在 Damocles的头上用一根头发悬一把利剑,告诉他王权的危险就象那把剑一样,随时可能降临。因此the sword of Damocles就成了“富贵中隐藏的危险”的同义语,也可以指形势危急,千钧一发。
3、Damon and Pythias :Damon和Pythias是好朋友。Pythias出事被判了死刑,为了使他能够回家探视亲人,Damo留在牢中作人质,如果Pythias不按时返 回,就处死Damon。
当期限满,临处刑之际,Pythias及时赶回。国王深受感动,将二人全部释放,因此,Damon and Pythias意思就是“生死之交”。
4、Penelop's web:源自史诗《奥德赛》(Odyssey)。泊涅罗珀(Penelop)是奥底修斯(Odysseus)的妻子,以忠贞而著称。
特洛伊战争持续 了十年,Odysseus在返家的途中又耽搁了十年。在这漫长的二十年中,许多王公贵族向Penelop求婚,她都托辞说必须等织完布后才能予以考虑,一 到晚上,她又将白天织好的布再拆开。
因此Penelop's web就成了一项永远也完不成的工作。5、apple of discord:意思是“不和的根源、发生纠纷的事端”。
佩琉斯和忒提斯举行婚礼时忘记了邀请不和女神厄里斯(Eris)。这位女神大为恼火,留下 一个刻有“献给最美者”的金苹果,引起了雅典娜、赫拉和阿芙罗狄忒的纷争。
此事导致漫长的特洛伊战争(Trojan War)。扩展资料:希腊神话文献记载最早的几部参考文献当推荷马的两部史诗:《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》。
除此之外的这方面的史诗都被归结到了《史诗集成》,但这些作品到现今基本已经全部不可靠了。尽管这部合集原来的名字称为“荷马赞歌”,但其实际上和荷马没有任何关系,它们实际上是从被称为抒情诗时期早期流传下来的赞美诗。
荷马基本同期的诗人赫西俄德在其作品《神谱》中全面的记录了关于世界的形成,众神,提坦和巨人的起源的早期希腊神话以及详细的族谱。赫西俄德的《工作与时日》系统地记录了当时农耕生产的知识,表现了平静而优美的农村生活场景。
其中包括了对普罗米修斯, 潘多拉以及五个时代的描写。这些诗篇给予了在那个危险的时期最好生活方式的建议和全貌。
