A: Of course. But that happens only once in a blue moon.

地道表达:

once in a blue moon

解词释义:

根据观测,在一定条件下,即大气中含有一定数量的,大小合适的微尘时,太阳和月亮就会成深蓝色。这种微尘可能来自火山爆发,沙漠的风沙或森林大火。本身这种现象就已经较为罕见,那么蓝色的月亮就更为罕见了,因此人们用once in a blur 3 moon来表示“难得有一次”、“极为罕见”和“千载难逢”的意思。

支持范例:

You get a chance like this only once in a blue moon.

这种机会你是很难得到的。

He gets drunk only once in a blue moon.

他难得喝醉酒。

Great writers like Mark Twain only appear once in a blue moon.

像马克吐温那样伟大的作家,是很罕见的。
