Chapter 16
Shrek罵Donkey a stubborn jackass。記得嗎?donkey和jackass通常指同一種動物-驢子。常被使用的明喻的手法,如"as stubborn as a jackass"或"as stubborn as a mule"(mule:騾子)
接著剛剛那句話,Shrek和Donkey雙雙抵達龍的背上時,Shrek對Donkey表達十二萬分謝意,結果Donkey回答,"no one likes a kiss ass". kiss someone's ass表示你愛逢迎拍馬屁,賄絡他人以得到好處。Donkey用這句話的表面涵義,告訴Shrek他太愛拍馬屁啦。
Where there's a will, there's a way.是一句常見的成語:有志者,事竟成。
