Don't make yourself a mouse, or the cat will eat you. 妄自菲薄,遭人奚落。
  Make somebody something使成为;委派…为;任命…为;make somebody a star使某人成为明星。
  Mouse老鼠,胆小鬼。Mickey Mouse米老鼠。Mouse还可以解释为我们平时经常用到的鼠标, click the mouse点击鼠标。
  Or在这里做转折性的连词,解释为否则,通常和else连用。比如:Hurry up, or (else)you’ll be late.赶快,否则你要迟到了。
  这个谚语从字面上理解的话就是:别拿自己当老鼠,要不猫会吃了你。引申一下:人若自贬,必遭人欺侮,要捍卫自己。
