据说“鸡你太美”是当下最流行的网络语。至于它是什么意思，小编不知道，也不敢问。
言归正传！
谈到鸡，肯德基有句著名的广告语We Do Chicken Right。网上有过关于这句广告语翻译的讨论，很多译文不乏幽默搞笑成分：“我们做鸡是对的”、“我们做正确的鸡”、“我们维护鸡权”……
英语中用来表示鸡的词不少，chicken、cock、hen、rooster、chick……chicken泛指鸡，小鸡或鸡肉，使用最广泛，还用来指胆小鬼、懦夫。chick有小鸡、小鸟、少妇（贬义）的意思。cock和hen分别是公鸡和母鸡。一般应尽量避免使用cock表示“公鸡”，因为它是“粗话”。rooster可以指所有雄性家禽，美语指公鸡。那么，它们之间到底有什么区别呢？
一、chicken、cock、hen、rooster、chick的区别
