孔雀在中国被视为一种美丽的鸟类,也是喜庆吉祥的象征.所以人们常常用孔雀来比喻美丽的人或事物.中国古代有“孔雀东南飞”的爱情故事,以跳“孔雀舞”出名的刀美兰被视为“孔雀公主”;中国人欣赏孔雀开屏,认为那是孔雀在展示自己美色的最佳时刻.在英国,孔雀被视为淫鸟和祸鸟.连孔雀开屏这种美轮美奂的动物本能也被赋予反面的含义,说它是在自我炫耀和吹嘘.因此英语里有“像孔雀一样骄傲”的成语.
In China,the peacock is regarded as a kind of beautiful birds as well as a symbol of auspiciousness.People usually compare peacocks to beautiful people or things.In ancient China,there was the love story of "The Peacock Flies to Southeast",then the dancer Dao meilan who is famous for pavan is regarded as the "peacock princess".Chinese enjoy the peacocks spreading their tail,and think it is the best time for peacocks to show their beauty.Howerver,In Britain,peacock is the representative of carnality and misfortune.Even this extremely stunning instinct of animals is endowned with negative implication,thus there is such an idiom as "as proud as a peacock " in English.
