它会一家十几口排排队出门旅游；
能淡定骑在鳄鱼身上四处观光；
被鹈鹕用嘴左右夹、上下夹，完全不反抗；
当小鸭子的“遮阳伞”，做小猫咪的猫抓板，成为人类幼崽的情绪稳定器，水豚全部手拿把掐。
就是这种“任世界风起云落，我自岿然不动”的性格，让当代年轻人梦想中的“情绪稳定”有了可视化的精神代表。
一夜之间，网络上到处都是“精神水豚人”。
英语中形容水豚的精神状态有个非常贴切的短语：
as cool as a cucumber
very calm or verycalmly, especially when this is surprising
（尤指出奇地）镇静，冷静，泰然自若
as cool as a cucumber 尤其指发生突然状况时，仍能保持镇静自若。
黄瓜水分很多，摸起来凉凉的，和cool这个词产生联系。但cool这里不是凉爽的意思，而是有把握的，镇静的。
英国诗人John Gay1973年的诗作 New Song on New Similies中"Cool as a cucumber could see the rest of womankind（镇静自若，才能看到女性的内在）"第一次记录了该短语。
例句：
I stayed as cool as a cucumber during the test.
我在考试时非常地冷静。
还有哪些结构与as cool as a cucumber相似的短语呢？
