也有读者会说，这里面没有将“杀鸡“表现出来。其实，这是一种文化差异。汉语文化，特别是在动词的使用方面，喜欢用实词。在现代汉语中，“吃”这个词基本上没有其他可用的替代词。即使有的话，其使用频率也是极低的。但英文就不同。“吃”（eat）这个动作，尽管发生得很频繁，天天顿顿都有，但是用多了，会显得不很体面，相当于中国人讲的“你怎么老想着吃”。所以，多用have来替代，特别是对比较有教养的人来讲。其实，这反映了一种文化习惯。同样，尽管鸡是要杀了才能吃的，但像kill这样一个词，在英语里是一个很沉重的词，会尽量避免使用。在汉语中，杀鸡已成为了一个常用词组，国人用这个词，并不感到很生硬，甚至有“杀鸡给猴子看”这样的成语故事。但是，在英语中，kill a chicken却不是一个惯用词组，用了，会让人有杀气腾腾的不好感觉。因此，国人在学英语时，一定要了解汉语与英语之间的这种文化差异。否则，说出来的英语，不但会很生硬，同时也会让以英语为母语的听众感到你的修养有问题。
