狐假虎威的英语谁有啊
The fox borrows the tiger’s fierceness (by walking in the latter’s company)——bully people by flaunting one’s powerful connections.
One day, a fox ran into a tiger, which was hunting in the forest. Facing the tiger’s big hungry mouth, the fox pretended to be surprised, and said, “How dare you eat me? I’m much fiercer than you though you have the name of ‘King of the beasts’!” “What are you talking about?” said the tiger who couldn’t believe his ears. “If you don’t believe me, let’s go and see other beasts’ reactions at the sight of us.” Full of misgivings, the tiger decided to follow the fox and see what he was up to.
A strange sight was taken place in the forest: the fox was proudly marching in front and the ferocious tiger followed in a huff. Watching them, all the little beasts fled in a hurry. After a while, the fox stopped and asked the tiger, “Now do you believe me?” The tiger, who was fooled by this trick, believed that the little beasts feared the fox instead of himself, therefore he let him go.
The tiger lost a delicious meal, while the Chinese gained an interesting idiom.
