Idiom dan Slang
Pikirkan tentang binatang yang Anda tahu. Apa karakteristik mereka?
Sebagai contoh, keledai (mules) yang sangat keras kepala. Mereka tidak ingin melakukan apa pun. Mereka tidak akan mengubah pikiran mereka dengan mudah.
Dalam bahasa Inggris, kita dapat membandingkan seseorang untuk karakteristik hewan dengan menggunakan "as + kata sifat + (karakteristik) + as + hewan (n)." Jadi, jika Andi sangat keras kepala, kita bisa mengatakan:
"Andi is as stubborn as a mule."
