Some people say we live in a “dog-eat-dog” world. That means in order to be successful, people have to work hard and complete(竞争) against each other fiercely(猛烈地). Such hard work can make people “dog-tired”. And the situation will be even worse if they become “as sick as a dog”.
Nowadays people still say, “Every dog has its day.” This means that every person enjoys some successful days during his or her life. We can describe someone who is unkind as a “junkyard dog”.
Husbands and wives use this expression “in the doghouse” when they are angry. For example, a woman might get angry with her husband for coming home late. She might tell him that he is “in the doghouse” now.
People also use dog expressions to describe the weather. “The dog days of summer” are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may make the weather cool. But we do not want too much heavy rain. We do not want it rains “cats and dogs”.

阅读短文，回答下列问题。
美国人喜爱他们的狗并且把它们照顾得很好。他们会带狗散步，让它们在外面玩耍，还给它们提供美味的食物和医疗护理。所以英语中有很多和狗相关的表达。
有些人说我们生活在一个“狗咬狗”（竞争激烈）的世界里。这意味着为了取得成功，人们必须努力工作并且彼此之间激烈地竞争。如此繁重的工作会让人“累成狗”。如果他们“病得像条狗”，情况会更糟。
如今人们仍然会说，“人人皆有得意时”。这意味着每个人在他或她的一生中都会有一些成功的日子。我们可以把一个不友善的人描述为“垃圾场里的狗”（凶神恶煞的人）。
夫妻之间生气的时候会用到“进狗窝”（失宠、受冷落）这个表达。例如，一个女人可能会因为丈夫回家晚了而生气。她可能会告诉他现在他“进狗窝”了。
人们也会用和狗相关的表达来描述天气。“夏天的狗日”（三伏天）是一年中最热的日子。一场暴风雨可能会让天气变凉爽。但我们不想要太多的大雨。我们不希望雨下得“像猫和狗在下雨”（倾盆大雨）。
