- 1屹耳（小熊維尼裡那隻常唉聲嘆氣的驢）。也用來形容遇事總往壞處想、愛唱衰的人。
Eeyore is the grey donkey in A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories. He is kind and he is a friend, but he almost always expects the worst. He talks as if nobody really loves him, and as if something sad is just about to happen — even when the day is fine. Children laugh a little, because he is funny in a quiet, slow way, but they also feel sorry for him. Though actually, English speakers do not keep the name inside the book. If someone is always gloomy, always sighing, always sure the plan will fail, a friend may call them an Eeyore. That is not about a real farm animal; it is a nickname borrowed from the story. Keep the capital E: it is still a name, even when you use it for a person. It is informal, and a bit teasing. Said with a smile, it can be warm. Said in a sharp voice, it can sting, because you are telling someone that their sadness is a character they play.
組成From the donkey in A. A. Milne's books Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. The name is meant to sound like a donkey's cry (the same idea as hee-haw).
