The peacock spreads its tail feathers.没有一点中文的诗意化吧? 这就是语言和文化的差别。孔雀开屏其实只涉及到尾羽,当然尾羽不止一根, 所以是tail feathers。spread 的用法如下。outspread 虽然可作动词用,倒是不常见,记得更多的时候用作形容词, 如 its outspread wings。-----------------spreadv., spread, spread·ing, spreads.v.tr.To open to a fuller extent or width; stretch: spread out the tablecloth; a bird spreading its wings.(出处:The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Copyright © 2007, 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.
