亂七八糟
It is said that this phrase originated from a disaster in the kitchen. The food was a mess, and in the end, the mess of food had been fed to the dog Later, people began to use it. A dog's dinner is used to represent a messy scene or result. Although 'dinner' means' dinner ', it means' mess'. Imagine the scene of a dog eating, in a frenzy, with dog food and water everywhere. What a mess!
據(jù)說這個(gè)短語來源于廚房的一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難。飯菜做的一塌糊涂，最后只得把做的一團(tuán)糟的食物喂給狗狗吃。后來人們便開始用這個(gè)說法。a dog's dinner來表示一團(tuán)糟的場(chǎng)景或結(jié)果。dinner雖然是晚餐的意思，但卻表示亂七八糟。試想一下狗狗吃飯的場(chǎng)景，火急火燎，把狗糧和水弄得到處都是，真是亂七八糟啊!
例句：
All the menus are designed to travel well, so they'll be warm, retain their texture and won't look like a dog's dinner when they come off the back of a bike.
所有菜品都被設(shè)計(jì)得能經(jīng)得住長(zhǎng)途運(yùn)輸，所以既能保持住食物的溫度，又能保持口感，而且從自行車后座上被取下來時(shí)不會(huì)看起來一團(tuán)糟。
更多與狗狗有關(guān)的短語：
三伏天;酷暑
The meaning of dog days in scorching heat is three dog days, and there are two sources of this expression.
Dog days的意思是三伏天，關(guān)于這個(gè)表達(dá)的來源有兩種說法。
The first discovery originated from Roman astronomers in the 16th century. In the hottest weeks every year, Sirius always rises and sets with the sun, and Sirius's nickname is the Dog Star.
第一種源于16世紀(jì)羅馬天文學(xué)家的發(fā)現(xiàn)。每年天氣最炎熱這幾個(gè)星期，天狼星(Sirius)總與太陽共升共落，而天狼星的別號(hào)就是the Dog Star。
So in Latin, people use the root word "can", which represents the dog, to represent Sirius "canicular". Therefore, this period of extreme heat is called Sirius days. It is written in English as canicular days, which is more commonly known as dog days. (This source is more reliable)
所以在拉丁文中人們用代表狗的詞根“can”來表示天狼星“canicular”。所以這段酷熱期就被稱為dies caniculars(天狼星的日子)，英語寫成了canicular days，民間用了更通俗的說法，就是dog days。(這個(gè)來源更為靠譜一點(diǎn))
There is another way to better understand it. When it's hot, dogs will elongate their tongues to pant, so this kind of weather that can make dogs pant is called dog days.
還有一種說法更好理解一些。天熱的時(shí)候，狗會(huì)伸長(zhǎng)舌頭喘氣，所以這種能把狗都熱喘氣的天氣，就叫做dog days。
