     As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences

when we pay attention to the words are used. Let's look at the words about animals and plants. Most

expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example,"a homeless dog","a mad dog","a running dog" and "a dog

catching a mouse", have negative (消极的) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest

and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive (积极的) actions. For example,"you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good

luck sometimes. To describe a person's serious illness, they say "sick as a dog". The word "dog-tired" means

very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture,"cat" is often used to describe a

woman who is cruel (冷酷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used differently as well.

    The rose is regarded as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some western countries. People think

the rose stands for (代表) love, peace (和平), courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of

England, America and many other countries.

    The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can

learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.
