21世纪大英汉部分释义来源是Collins English Dictionary(之前看过Oeasy版主的帖子，那个帖子的具体位置我记不清了)，另外，dog food只找到了涉及beef方面的语料库：
The dog food industry was spending an incredible $50 million a year on advertising. Commercials centered around the "beef wars," with competing companies all claiming to have the most pure beef. (Bonanza star Lorne Greene did a TV commercial for Alpo …holding a sirloin steak.)
Have you ever wondered, when looking at the ingredients of your dog’s favorite kibble, what “meat meal” is? Or how much cow is actually in a “beefy” can of dog food?

2. Any scam where a bum lowers himself to a unethical level, such as pretending to have no legs.
