[鳥兒篇]
birds of a feather flock together
物以類聚
*I knew you and John would get along well since you both enjoy sci-fi. Birds of a feather flock together. 我知道你和約翰一定處得來，因為你們都喜歡科幻小說。物以類聚嘛。
a little bird told me
如果不想透露某個資訊的來源，就可以說這是「小鳥告訴我的」
*A: "Did you hear that Mark is planning to propose to Sarah soon?" B: "Yes, a little bird told me." 甲：「你知道馬克打算向莎拉求婚嗎？」乙：「知道，一隻小鳥告訴我的。」
bird of passage
形容四處漂泊、居無定所的人
*The economy has forced me to become a bird of passage, moving around the state to wherever I can find work. 經濟問題迫使我必須四處奔波，跑遍大江南北任何可以找得到工作的地方。
be a box of birds
形容精神或健康良好的樣子
*Once she's had some time to cheer up, she'll be a box of birds again, don't worry. 給她時間振作起來，她就會再次生龍活虎，不用擔心。
a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
兩鳥在林，不如一鳥在手
*I think I'll keep my modest winnings rather than wagering them all on the next horse race. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. 俗話說「兩鳥在林，不如一鳥在手」我想我會把微薄的獎金留下來，而不是投入下一場賽馬。
bird-brained
形容一個人很愚笨
* You're so bird-brained. I can't believe you got stranded on the highway because you didn't put enough gas in your car! 你實在太蠢了。我真不敢相信，你居然因為汽車沒油而被困在高速公路上！
two birds with one stone
一石二鳥 （前面通常會加上動詞 kill 或 hit）
*Bike-to-work plans are a great way of hitting two birds with one stone: getting more exercise while cutting down on the cost of your daily commute. 騎腳踏車上班是一石二鳥的好辦法：可以增加運動量，又能減少每天的通勤成本。
snowbird
形容在冬季離開家，到溫暖的地方避寒的人，通常指的是退休老人。
*Now that my parents are retired, they're total snowbirds—they leave New York after Christmas and spend the rest of the winter in Florida. 我爸媽已經退休了，就像候鳥一樣，都在聖誕節後離開紐約，到佛羅里達度過剩餘的冬天。
