 俗语:诡计给拆穿了!


爱耍小聪明?善于耍诡计?不过,再高明的诡计也有穿帮的时候。所以说,日常会话里,“诡计给拆穿了”实难绝于耳。英语中,其相应的表达为:The jig 1 is up。 如果熟悉爱尔兰民间舞,想必您听说过“Jig”(吉格舞,后发展为宫廷舞,见图 ),一种快速粗犷、无特定形式限制的民族舞蹈。由于吉格舞“欢快”的民间特性,16世纪,“jig”拥有了“舞蹈”之外的扩展意:玩笑、花招、把戏、恶作剧。 正是基于这层“玩笑”意,“The jig is up”诞生,用来形容“诡计、阴谋在未实现之前破产”,暗含有“因为诡计、阴谋败露,‘你’完蛋了”之意。看例句:The jig is up this time. The police found marijuana in his briefcase 2.(这回他完蛋了,警察在他的提箱里发现了大麻。) 另外,除The jig is up之外,“诡计给拆穿了”也可表示为:The game is up或The game is over.
俗语:话中有话,别当真!
