ostrich 鸵鸟
The ostrich is a large bird that cannot fly, but it can run very fast.
According to a story ,an ostrich, when hunted ,run a distance and then buried its head in the sand. It thought it could not be seen because it could not see. Some people are ostrich-like. when they have troubles, they bury their heads in the sand, pretending not to see the troubles.Aren't such people stupid?
The ostrich has a strange habit. It often is hard objects such as small stones. So if a person has a very good digestion, we can say he has an ostrich-stomach.
鸵鸟是一种不能飞的巨鸟,不过它跑得很快。据故事上说,鸵鸟被追猎的时候,跑上一段路程之后,便把头埋进沙子里,它以为他看不见人家,人家也就看不见他。有些人活像鸵鸟,他们遇到麻烦就把头埋进沙子里,装作看不见,这样的人不是很蠢的吗?
鸵鸟有一个奇怪的习惯,常常吃些像小石子之类的硬物,因此如果一个人消化力强,我们就可以说他有鸵鸟般的胃口。
