Today we explain some expressions about birds For example if something is for the birds it is worthless or not very interesting Someone who eats like a bird eats very little And a birds-eye view is a general look at an area from above
Did you know that if you tell a young person about the birds and the bees you are explaining about sex and birth Have you ever observed that birds of a feather flock together In other words people who are similar become friends or do things together Here is some good advice a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush This means you should not risk losing something you have by trying to get more of something you do not have
Sometimes I can do two things by performing only one action This is called killing two birds with one stone But I would never really kill any birds I love all kinds of animals This is a real feather in my cap It is something to be proud of
Most of the people I work with are early birds They believe that the early bird catches the worm They think that a person who gets up early in the morning for work has the best chance of success Everyone in my office works hard but some people have had their wings clipped Their jobs have been limited This is because the office is organized by pecking order People with more years and experience are given more responsibility
Some bird expressions are about crows chickens and ducks For example when I am driving I always travel as the crow flies I go the most direct way Anyone who eats crow has to admit a mistake or defeat
Now let's talk about my sister She is not very young She is no spring chicken She will work any job for chicken feed -- a small amount of money She is easily frightened For example she is too chicken-livered to walk down a dark street alone at night Often she will chicken out – she will not go out alone at night
My sister was an ugly duckling She looked strange when she was a child but she grew up to be a beautiful woman Sometimes she thinks too much about having something in the future before she really has it She counts her chickens before they are hatched Sometimes her chickens come home to roost That means her actions or words cause trouble for her However my sister does not worry about what people say about her Criticism falls off her like water off a duck's back
Politicians are sometimes considered lame ducks after losing an election They have little time left in office and not much power Congress holds a lame duck session after an election Important laws are not passed during this period

现在是M国之#音慢速英语词汇掌故节目。
今天，我们讲述一些关于禽类的词汇。例如，如果说某事某物for the birds，指的是它毫无价值或不是很有趣。说某人eats like a bird（俗语：吃鸟食）指他吃得很少。birds-eye view（即鸟瞰）是指从高处观察一个区域。
你知道吗，如果你和年轻人谈及the birds and the bees，意思是谈论性和繁殖。你是否...

今天，我们讲述一些关于禽类的词汇。例如，如果说某事某物for the birds，指的是它毫无价值或不是很有趣。说某人eats like a bird（俗语：吃鸟食）指他吃得很少。birds-eye view（即鸟瞰）是指从高处观察一个区域。
你知道吗，如果你和年轻人谈及the birds and the bees，意思是谈论性和繁殖。你是否注意到birds of a feather flock together（物以类聚，人以群分）？换句话说，换句话说，性格相似的人总是会成为朋友或者在一起工作。以下是一些好建议：a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush（两鸟在林，不如一鸟在手）这句话的意思是不要冒险拿你已经有的东西去换取那些看上去多一些但你未必能得到的东西。
有时，我可以一举两得，也就是所谓的一石二鸟。但我绝不会真的杀害任何鸟类，我爱所有动物。这是a real feather in my cap，也就是说这是值得自豪的。
和我一起工作的许多人都喜欢早起。他们相信the early bird catches the worm（早起的鸟儿有虫吃）。也就是说，他们认为，一大早起床开始工作，会获得更好的成功机会。我办公室的每个人工作都很努力。但有些人被束缚手脚，就是说他们的工作受到限制。这是因为办公室论资排辈，工作时间长经验更丰富的人被赋予更多责任。
还有些关于乌鸦、鸡、鸭的禽类词汇。例如，当我开车时，我总是“像乌鸦飞”一样行驶，这指的是我总是走直线。如果说某人“吃乌鸦”，意思是他不得不承认他犯了个错误或者做某事失败了。
现在让我们来谈谈我的妹妹。她不是很年轻，也就是她不是spring chicken。为了一点小钱（chicken feed），她什么工作都做。她很容易受惊。例如，她胆小（chicken-livered）到夜里不敢在漆黑的街上走。她经常会退缩（chicken out）--在夜里不会单独出去。
我的妹妹是一只丑小鸭---她小时候看起来很奇怪，但长大后她成了一个美女。有时候她对那些未来的事情想得太多，她总是在小鸡孵出来之前就开始数她有几只小鸡。而有的时候她又自食恶果，意思是她的言行给她引来了麻烦。不过我妹妹不关心其他人对她的评论，批评对于她而言就像水流到了鸭子的背上，一滑而落。
当搞政治的人没有赢得竞选而要下台时，他们就被认为是没有用的家伙（跛脚鸭），他们在政界的时间和权力也就不多了。在竞选后，国会会有一段“瘸鸭时期”，这一时期内国会不举行重要会议，因此重要的法律法规也是不能被通过的。

有时我也可以做两件事只有一个动作表演,而这被称为可谓一石二鸟,但是我永远不会真的杀了任何鸟类我喜欢各种各样的动物,这是一个真正的羽毛在我的帽子,这是一件值得骄傲的事
和我一起工作的人大都是起得很早,他们相信早起的鸟儿有虫吃,他们认为一个人清早起床工作最好的成功机会办公室里的人都努力工作,但有些人却袖手旁观他们的工作是很有限的,这是因为办公室主办啄食的顺序和经验的人有更多的年,被给予了更多的责任
一些鸟的词组是关于乌鸦鸡鸭例如我开车时我总是旅行的直线距离为我去的最直接的方式,无论何人吃乌鸦不得不承认了错误或失败
现在让我们谈谈我的妹妹她不年轻了,她已经不是小孩子了她会做任何工作,为鸡饲料——的一小笔钱她很容易受惊吓例如她胆小如鼠穿过黑暗的街道在夜晚独自出去,她总是鸡她不会晚上单独出去
我的妹妹以前是个丑小鸭的时候她看上去很奇怪的孩子,但是她长成了一个漂亮的女人有时她觉得太想让一些在不久的将来她真的她她有几只小鸡孵出来之前就开始数有时候她是自做自受,是她的言行给她引来了麻烦然而我妹妹不担心别人怎么说,她对她的批评脱落就像耳边风一样,毫无作用
政客们有时被认为是“跛脚鸭”选举失利之后,他们没有时间留在办公室,没有太多的力量国会拥有一只跛脚鸭会议选举后重要法律法规未通过在这个时期
