We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Lets 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 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 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 persons 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（无情的、令人痛苦的）.The rose is a symbol（标志） of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship.
