每次考試來臨的時候，約翰就變成了一只夜貓子，但這并不是一個好的學習方法。
[誤] John becomes a night cat every time the examination is coming. However, this is not a good way to
learn.
[正] John becomes a night owl every time the examination is coming. However, this is not a good way to
learn.
注：owl 是“貓頭鷹”的意思，即一種深夜不睡，睜一只眼，閉一只眼，準備隨時捕捉田鼠的動物。英語中用
night owl 來比喻經常熬夜的人，就像我們習慣用“夜貓子”一樣。不論叫你“夜貓子”還是a night owl，“開夜車”（burn the midnight oil）總是免不了的。
