及侍卫 死伤无数，还有很多人逃跑了，只有嵇绍保护着惠帝，始终不离左右。
Upon seeing this, the people were moved and said:Shao stand out like a camel amongst a
group of sheep, preeminent and superior.

成语“鹤立鸡群”既可以表面上形容“一个人因身高高挑在众人中显得突出”，也可以形容< br>“一个人因为相貌或者卓越才能，亦或是出挑的行为在众人中显得突出”，英文中相应表达
可以用 “stand out like a camel amongst a group of sheep”，本意就是“像一只在羊群中站立的
骆驼”。

我们一起来看一个例句：

Because all the other people were waiting in line, I did not want to stand out like a camel amongst
a group of sheep, and I decided to wait in line as well.
因为其他所有人都在排队，我可不想鹤立鸡群，所以我决定也去排队啦。
