 俗语:真扫兴


谜语里迸出的“词汇”:“俄亥俄州”的别名 跳蚤市场 晴天霹雳 败家子,害群之马 “love”为“零蛋”
刚刚考试结束,大家伙儿兴致盎然想要一起去蹦迪。你一脸不情愿,唠唠叨叨,一会儿怕老妈骂,一会儿怕遇到小阿飞,再不就是嘀嘀咕咕说自己考得不好,惹得一圈人都跟着你心抓慌。这种情况下,同伴十有八九会抛出一句话:你真扫兴! 英语中,俗语“你真扫兴”可表达为“You are such a wet blanket 1”,常用来形容某人或某事不但与当时火热的氛围不搭调,还搞得让周围兴高采烈的人也失去了做事的兴致。 据载,“wet blanket”最早见于19世纪初,源于美洲印第安人。当时的土著居民常在晚上举行篝火晚会,狂欢之后,他们习惯拿浸过水的毯子把火苗扑灭。如果说,火苗代表“热情”,那“湿毯子”(wet blanket)无疑就是“无趣、心情低落”的象征了。随着时间的推移,“wet blanket”成了广而言之的俗语,用来指代“令人扫兴的人或物,煞风景者”。
看下面一个例句:Let's not invite Dick to the dance--he is such a wet blanket with that sour look on his face and his boring talk.(我们开舞会可别请迪克。他整日愁眉苦脸,说的话还很无聊,是个让人扫兴的家伙。)
