Speaking of pigs, did you know that “hog” is another word for pig? Specifically, a hog is a large pig bred to be eaten. And people eat a lot of pork, so naturally there are lots of hog-related idioms.
首先,你知道 hog 是豬的別稱嗎?具體來說,hog「肉豬」是指專門飼養來吃的豬。因為大家愛吃豬肉,所以當然有許多跟 hog 有關的生活用語。
One of the most interesting is 1⃣“live (or eat) high on/off the hog,” which means to live a luxurious, comfortable life. Why does it have this meaning? Because the most expensive cuts of meat come from high on the hog. Ex: Kevin has been living high on the hog since he won the lottery.
首先,一個最饒富趣味的諺語是 live/eat high on/off the hog,指過著奢華舒適的生活。為什麼會有這個意思呢?因為最貴的豬肉肉品剛好都來自於豬的上半身。如:Kevin has been living high on the hog since he won the lottery.(凱文中樂透之後,就一直過著奢華闊氣的生活。)
Lots of people enjoy pork, but what if you eat the whole hog? 2⃣ “Go whole hog” means to do something in a very thorough or enthusiastic way. Ex: We decided to go whole hog and stay in the presidential suite. 3⃣You can also “go hog wild,” which means to behave in an uncontrolled and excited manner. Ex: The kids went hog wild while their parents were away on vacation.
很多人愛吃豬肉,不過若是要你吃下整頭豬呢?go whole hog 指「豁出去做某事;徹底把某件事做完」如:We decided to go whole hog and stay in the presidential suite.(我們決定豁出去住總統套房。)類似用法還有go hog wild,指「興奮過度做過頭」,如:The kids went hog wild while their parents were away on vacation.(爸媽放假出門時,小孩在家裡玩瘋了。)
We all know about heaven, 4⃣but what is “hog heaven”? It’s a state of idle bliss and contentment. Ex: Sitting on the sofa drinking beer and watching the game, Mike was in hog heaven. And finally, 5⃣there are “road hogs.” Since hogs are known for their greedy behavior, a road hog is someone who “hogs” the road. Ex: I hope the cops give that road hog a ticket.
我們都知道天堂,但什麼是hog heaven「豬天堂」?就是形容相當愉快滿足的狀態,如:Sitting on the sofa drinking beer and watching the game, Mike was in hog heaven.(坐在沙發上喝啤酒看球賽,麥可就像身處極樂之地一樣。)最後是road hog,豬一向以貪心著稱,所以road hog指的是開車亂搶路的人,如:I hope the cops give that road hog a ticket. (真希望警察給那搶路的駕駛人一張紅單。)
【✍重點單字】
1. win the lottery「中樂透」
2. thorough「徹底的」
3. idle「閒閒無事的」
4. bliss「幸福」
5. contentment「滿足」:為名詞,形容詞 content「滿足的」。
6. give sb. a ticket「開罰單」:ticket 在這裡當「罰單」。

Thank you to my incredible (but crazy) family and friends who flew from all over the world to throw up with us on the boat for 2 days and experience the wonder that is the 7th continent.

Thank you for honoring us with your sense of adventure!
