As we knw, there are many differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. We can see these differences in the way peple use language, particularly when it cmes t wrds abut animals and plants.
In Chinese culture, mst expressins（表达） abut dgs ften carry negative （负面的） meanings, like “a hmeless dg,” “a mad dg,” “a running dg,” and “a dg catching a muse” all have negative meanings. Hwever, in Western cuntries, peple think dgs are hnest and gd friends f peple, and ften use the expressins abut dgs t describe（描述） psitive meanings. Fr example, “yu are a lucky dg” means that yu are a lucky persn, while “every dg has its day” shws the idea that everyne has their mment f gd luck. Despite（尽管） these differences, bth cultures use the expressin “dg-tired” t mean “very tired.”
Cats hld a special place in Chinese culture. They stand fr gd luck and richness, s peple lve cats very much. Hwever, Western culture ften uses the wrd “cat” t describe a wman wh is rude r unkind. It shws the cultural differences in the use f language.

In all, the wrds we use t describe animals and plants can be different acrss cultures, with sme expressins carrying psitive meanings while thers are negative. By studying hw peple use these wrds, we can get a better understanding f the cultural differences between different cuntries. This helps us becme better at speaking different languages, and lets us learn mre abut different cultures.
