異想天開:Ask for the moon

很多東西你都可以問父母要,但你若要天上的月亮或星星,他們就無法滿足你的要求了, 想必你也不會如三歲頑童提出如此無理的要求吧!根据 ask for the moon 這個語中的“月亮”一詞,我們可以聯想到“猴子撈月”這個婦孺皆知的中國童話故事:一只猴子發現月亮掉到了水中(大傢都知道那只不過是月亮在水中的倒影而已!),遠見,出於好心,越南文翻譯,它邀來了自己的同伴,眾多猴子一個個頭尾相接試圖撈出水中的月亮,韓文翻譯,結果大傢是可想而知的。

ask for the moon 表達的含意為:to want something that you cannot reach or have; to try for the impossible,在漢語中大緻可以表達為 “想入非非”、“異想天開”、“癡人說夢”等等。此外,這一短語還可以表達為 cry for the moon。

例如:

You are crying for the moon if you hope the teacher will leave us no homework.

你如果有讓老師不給我們留作業這樣的怪唸頭那真是異想天開。

Ducks and drakes 汲水漂

小時候玩過“取水漂”嗎?大傢分頭找來扁仄的石頭或瓦片,日文翻譯,投进来,比比看誰的水漂在水上點的次數多、飛得遠;一連打出的漂兒像蜻蜓點水,甚是难看……

有沒有想過,“打水漂”的游戲國中也有,念不想晓得,它的英語怎麼說?

英語中,“吊水漂”可用“to play ducks and drakes”來形容,年夜約16世紀進进英語詞匯。惋惜,duck(母鴨)跟drake(公鴨)——這麼风趣怪異的表達,居然從辭源上找不到它確切的出處。不過,据語行壆傢猜測,由於公鴨供愛時頭總是一點一點的,而它的尾巴則以程度标的目的飛快天摆布搖擺,英文翻譯,整個動做有點像孩子們的“火漂”游戲。

别的,假如看到duck-stone,千萬別鬧出什麼笑話,它可不是“鴨石頭”,而是指“打水漂用的石子”。

正在游戲以外,“汲水漂”這個詞可不是很受懽迎,中文常常用來指“把錢白白扔失落、浪費掉”的行為,英語中的play ducks and drakes也可用於描述這種“揮霍無度的止為”。舉個例子:

Having played ducks and drakes with his own money, he wanted to play the same silly game with mine. 他把本人的錢揮霍完以後,韓文翻譯,又要拿我的錢往坤那些愚行噹。
