《喜福会》中的一个句子：And her friends at the Joy Luck Club said she died just like a rabbit: quickly and with unfinished business left behind.
为什么像兔子一样死去呢？在不查证字典的情况之下，这句话冒号后面是对前面最好的解释，说明去世的很快，留下了一身买卖在身后没能处理。
真正去查一下习语字典，发现以rabbit为核心词的习语还有不少呢？下面介绍几个有意思的习语。
go down therabbit hole
rabbit hole兔子洞，读过《爱丽丝历险记》都知道，爱丽丝就是从树洞里面掉下去了，兔子洞指代奇怪复杂的问题，而且是越来越再乱无章的情形。
那go down the rabbit hole就是指：To enter into a situation or begin a process or journey that is particularly strange, problematic, difficult, complex, orchaotic, especially one that becomes increasingly so as it develops or unfolds.
举两个例子：
I've stayed away from drugs and alcohol since coming to college. I have an addictive personality, so I decided to just avoid that rabbit hole altogether.
Owning your own business is a huge responsibility that not everyone is prepared for. Are you sure you're ready to go down the rabbit hole?
pull a rabbit out of your hat
指的是做事让人惊讶，或指一个出人意料的解决方案。
举两个例子：
You didn't know how the story would end and then the author pulled a rabbit out of her hat,and it all made sense.
The governor pulled a rabbit out of a hat by putting together a budget without increasing taxes.
the rabbit died
这个就更有意思了，the rabbit died指的是怀孕，这是哪跟哪啊？原来是这样子的：在1931年左右的时候，如果要测试是否怀孕，需要将怀孕妈妈的尿液注射到母兔子体内，如果有孕，兔子收到刺激就会死掉（misconception），也就有了这个表达。
举个例子：
I saw Carol shopping for maternity clothes in the mall the other day. I guess the rabbit died! Honey, the rabbit died! It looks like we're going to have a baby!
