I thought llama at first too, but then decided the ears were more rabbit, so gave up on guessing the species. It seems to fat for a hare! Hares don't do fat, in my experience.
well, what he meant was 'i don't use fox news' ie 'i don't want to have anything to do with fox news' but hares 'don't do fat'? is it like, hares don't like to have fat. or to eat fat? but if so, how would you know? anyway, what can you know about hares, a new zealander? you probably mean some other hares, who are marsupial and weird...
No native marsupials in NZ, and in fact the only non-marine native mammals are two very small species of bats. All other mammals (and marsupials) are imports. Thus NZ hares are the common variety...
okay, so when she says 'i don't do fat' she means 'i'm not fat' actually? i'd think she means 'i hate fat'. and what does science say about what happened to NZ mammals? wiped out by natives in olden times?
No, she means she would never, in a million years, allow herself to become fat.
The mammals, they were never here. (Except for those on the seashore with fins.)
NZ was once part of Gondwana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondwana) before mammals were even thought of, but at the end of the Permian period about 250 million years ago it ran away as fast as it's little legs could carry it, leaving the rest of the world to evolve the pesky mammals on their own, NZ instead becoming a paradise for birds, both big and small, as well as for the tuatara ().
Maori have a different theory... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81ui_(M%C4%81ori_mythology)) (Which I notice doesn't mention Maui's unfortunate death... (http://www.deeknow.com/notes/maori/maui.html) Wiki censorship, I reckon!)
that's a good example of why it's difficult to be a translator. i have no idea why 'don't do it' would mean that, how that meaning came into existence. i think that with new russian idioms, i usually have an intuitive knowledge of their raison d'etre.
