猫会爬树

Cat Can Climb Trees

    主持人问：猫是否会爬树？老鹰抢答：会！主持人：举例说明！老鹰含泪：那年，我睡熟了，猫爬上了树…后来就有了猫头鹰…

    The host asked:“can cats climb trees”“yes!”the eagle rushed to answer. “well,give us an example.” The host demanded. Then the eagle’s eyes were full of tears:“that was a summer night, while I was in my deep sleep, a cat climbed up the tree……and there were owls in the world after then.”

    I’m sure you must be wondering or even shouting at the screen at this moment:“how counld it be possible? An eagle has sex with a cat and create a new species-owl? Even if it is a joke, it doesn't have to be scientifically logical,but what’s the relation among eagle, cat and owl?” Well,they are related in chinese. Let’s learn the three chinese nouns.

Cat    =   猫

Eagle  =   鹰

Owl   =   猫头鹰      

Pay attention to the constitution of chinese word-猫头鹰

So literally, owl is a combination of cat and eagle, just like the relation between a baby and his parents.
