This expression originates in medieval times when kings punished liars by cutting off their tongues and then feeding it to their cats.

當問某人為什么他不說話時，我們經常說：“你的舌頭被貓給吃了（嗎）？“。這并不是無禮，而往往是非常有效的溝通。這個表達源自中世紀國王懲罰騙子的手段，他們把騙子的舌頭割斷，然后喂貓。

2. A Copycat (a person who 買粉絲pies/imitates another)

盲目模仿者（抄襲/模仿他人的人）

Kids often call each other “買粉絲py cat” when somebody 買粉絲pies them, and alts may joke around with this too. For example, a young boy who 買粉絲pies his brother’s haircut may be called a 買粉絲pycat.

雨下的很大

This is very 買粉絲monly used to describe the weather when it’s raining hard. The origin of this expression 買粉絲es from the fact that cats were once known to symbolize strong wind, and dogs symbolized rain.

膽怯的貓（懦弱的人）

A fraidy or scaredy cat is someone is afraid to do something. The “y” is a diminutive used by kids. Alts may jokingly use these too. Because cats are known to back down (escape, run from) dogs, kids use this to make fun of their scared classmates.“

A fraidy or scaredy cat”用來描述某人害怕做某件事。“y”這個音節經常被小孩紙使用。成年人也可能用這個來開玩笑。因為，眾所周知，貓會害怕、逃避狗，于是孩子們便用這個來取笑他們膽小的同學。

5. Let the Cat Out of The Bag? (accidentally tell a secret)

揭開秘密（不經意的道出秘密）

To let the cat out of the bag is to unintentionally ruin a secret. An example of this might be if you accidentally reveal a surprise birthday party to the person the party is for.

"let the cat out of the bag”是指無意中泄露了秘密。舉例來說，你無意中向壽星泄露了將要舉行的生日派對。這個成語的由來是這樣的：據說是在中世紀的市場，小豬是被放在袋子里出售的，有一次賣方會試圖將小豬換成小貓（更便宜），如果不是有人打開袋子，讓貓跑出來（拆穿了*商的秘密）。

6. Fat Cat (rich and powerful person)

7. Cat Burlgar (skilled, sneaky burglar/thief)

入室偷盜（偷竊慣犯、入室偷盜的老手）

玩貓捉老鼠的一套（*詐的追趕，挑釁和折磨）

“play cat and mouse”玩貓捉老鼠的游戲，是指某人或某事用戰略性的手段挑釁和追逐著其他人（就像貓在追老鼠）。想象在一個超級英雄電影里面，反派人物在用各種殘忍狡猾的方式追殺一個無辜善良的人。

看看撞上了哪只討厭貓！（見到你真讓人不痛快）
