【解析】

本文介紹了關(guān)于公雞的傳說以及“公雞”一詞表示的含義。

【1】句意：正是公雞告訴人們到了起床，開始工作的時候了。

根據(jù)start work因此開始工作，應(yīng)是先起床，故此處為get up。

【2】句意：傳統(tǒng)上，公雞被認為是一只能擺脫邪靈的鳥。

be seen as被認為是，故此處為as a bird。

【3】句意：民間故事說，一旦公雞早上叫，所有邪惡的東西在晚上就會離開。

此處作謂語，用動賓短語，故此處為make their morning calls。

【4】句意：公雞也以勇敢著稱。

有形容詞性物主代詞its修飾，用名詞，故此處為courage。

【5】句意：普通話中“公雞”的發(fā)音和“機會”的一樣。

此處是“公雞”的發(fā)音和“機會”的發(fā)音比較，表示它們發(fā)音一樣，故此處為the same as。
