请参考：
“To bell the cat” means to do something dangers, something that might end in disaster灾难.
The expression comes from an old story. A family of mice老鼠 could not leave the hole to get food because of its fear of a cat. The mice decided to tie a bell around the cat's neck颈. The bell would ring as the cat moved. So the mice would always know where the cat was. All agreed it was a wonderful plan. That is until one wise old mouse asked, “Who will bell the cat?”
Bell the cat，给猫系上铃铛，这当然是没什么难的，但如果联想一个古老的寓言里，“给猫系上铃铛”还是一件很冒险的事情呢！故事的发生是这样的：一窝老鼠因为怕猫，结果饿的要命。于是它们认为最好的办法是在猫的脖子上系一个铃铛。这样，铃铛一响，它们就知道猫来了。大家都觉得那是个好主意，但是有一只老的、比较聪明的老鼠问，“谁去给猫系上铃铛呢？”。当然“老鼠给猫系铃铛”是奢谈，但如果真的有个老鼠敢为猫系上铃铛，那它也算是“为救众多的老鼠”而“奋不顾身”了，不过最终也是得到死无葬身之地的结果。不知道现在的社会中是不是：It's very diffcult to get a man who will bell the cat. 很难找到危险时刻能够挺身而出的人。
所以bell the cat就表示“为众人承担风险、替别人冒险”的意思。
还有参考的：
“to be somebody's cat's paw.”成为某人的猫爪，被某人利用 It means to be fooled in to doing someone else's dirty work. It comes from an old story about a monkey. He wants some nuts heating on a fire. The monkey tries to steal the nuts. But he burns his fingers. So, he seizes the foot or paw of a cat and he uses that to pull the nuts out of the fire.
“Fat Cat” describes someone who is rich. You often hear it during political campaigns政治竞选. Some fat cats give lots of money to politicians they hoped will be elected将被选举上. American jazz musicians have used the word “cat” to mean a man.
A sharp cat is a man who is dressed in the latest fashionable clothing. The great American horn player Louis Armstrong used the expression this way many years ago. Armstrong said, “I had on a new cowboy hat牛仔帽, a fine black suit, and new shining leather shoes皮鞋. I was a sharp cat.”

"Yes," said the sheep, "if I bring you the water, you would undoubtedly make me your food."

"I'm just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes.

But there was not a lot of water in the pitcher. His beak could not reach it. He tried again and again, but still could not touch the water.

●就在他想放弃的时候，他突然想到一个主意。乌鸦叼来了一块小石子投到水罐里，接着又叼了一块又一块石头放进去。

●渐渐地，水面升高了。乌鸦高兴地喝到了水。

The cage bird and the bat

A bird was confined in a cage outside a window. She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.

One night a bat came. He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.

The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.”

The bat replied, "But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away.
金丝雀与蝙蝠


●挂在窗口笼里的金丝雀，经常在鸟儿睡着的夜里歌唱。

●一天晚上，蝙蝠来了，飞过来问她为什么白天安静无声，夜里却要歌唱。

●金丝雀回答说：“去年我在白天唱歌时，捕鸟人听到我的歌声抓住了我。从此，我再也不在白天唱歌了。”

●蝙蝠说：“你现在才懂得谨慎已没用了，你若在变为囚徒之前就懂得，那该多好呀！”说完就飞走了。

寓意: 我们应该在危险发生之前就提高警觉，因为危险一旦发生，我们再怎样小心也没有用了。
