篇一：鸵鸟(英文)
*动物世界*
Why The Ostrich Can’t Fly?
鸵鸟为何不会飞
The largest bird that cannot fly also happens to be the largest living bird in the world. This is the huge North African ostrich. When the male, or cock, is fully-grown, he reaches a height nearly eight feet and many weigh close to three hundred pounds. His wings are very small and the wing feathers are very soft, therefore he does not fly.
You have probably heard the old saying about the
“foolish ostrich burying his head in the sand”. Well, the os-
trich is not nearly as foolish as he is said to be. In the daytime,
when the hen is sitting on the eggs, she does not want to be
seen; but, instead of sticking her long neck up into the air, she
bends her neck and head down and presses flat along the sand.
That way, she can best protect the eggs and herself.
Because the ostrich cannot fly up into the air to escape from danger on the ground, he has to remain alert at all times. Luckily, he has very sharp eyesight and hearing. As he lives in the desert and open plains, he can stop danger in time to race away. The ostrich can run so fast that it almost seems as if he was flying.
Sometimes, when a person has a small appetite, we say that he “eats like a bird”. That bird is definitely not the ostrich! An ostrich will eat anything under the sun. When an ostrich died in a zoo, scientists cut it open to see what it had eaten. Here are some of the things found in the bird’s stomach: three pieces of wood, part of a film roll, a nail, a screw, a French coin, three handkerchiefs, four pennies, part of a chain and eighteen pieces of wire.

篇二：动物英语鸵鸟背后的含义
动物英语鸵鸟背后的含义
世博会非洲联合馆里出售的原生态工艺品很受欢迎其中有种鸵鸟蛋壳项链、来自有野生动物天堂美誉的博茨瓦纳。鸵鸟的英语说法大家也许都知道可是你知道这个单词背后的比喻义么？
鸵鸟ostrich据说风沙来袭的时候喜欢把头插进沙子里以为什么都看不到就可以避开危险这种行为在我们自己身上也经常看到哦所以这种自欺欺人的人被称为ostrich：
有个成语掩耳盗铃说的也是同样的意思所以掩耳盗铃这种行为就别再自欺欺人啦你要面对事实！ Sto being an ostrich! You gotta to face it! 被称为ostrich belief或者ostrich olicy。
不过话说回来我们当真冤枉了鸵鸟同学其实它根本不会把头埋在沙子里虽说事实如此但是英语中的这个说法却固定了下来。你是一个ostrich式的人吗？这样不好哦记得一定要鼓起勇气面对现实才能解决问题。
