Question

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things like good jobs. They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Still people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful people often have to learn new skills. Yet some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks(手艺). They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rain in summer may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
