a cat has nine lives字面意思貓有九條命，舊時(shí)的英國(guó)人迷信貓的頑強(qiáng)生命力，故有貓有九命之說(shuō)。該諺語(yǔ)又作“富有生命力的人”。
【例句】
The baby fell from the roof of the house, but nothing went wrong with him. His parents called him a cat that has nine lives.
這孩子從房頂上掉下來(lái)居然沒(méi)摔壞，他的父母說(shuō)他命真大。
The modern belief that a cat has nine lives comes from this tradition.
現(xiàn)代人認(rèn)為貓有九條命，就是受了古埃及傳統(tǒng)的影響。
