a wet hen的用法详解
英语单词a wet hen的用法讲解
英语中“a wet hen”这个短语,有“折腾事”的意思,比喻大麻烦、费劲或者无聊的事,例如某事千辛万苦,就可以说it was like a wet hen!
这个短语由来已久,据说最早是美国英语中流行的俚语,如同一句谚语:It’s like trying to catch a wet hen.(就好像去抓湿母鸡似的!)
按说湿母鸡很容易抓,可事实上因为它们细小的体积,又能在水中游的特性,将抓捕的难度增至极大,所以后来就演变成比较无聊,或费劲无奈的事情就可以用“wet hen”来形容。
另外这也是现代式片语,也用来表达不确定性,模糊不清的情况,例如:
I'm not sure what's going to happen, it's like a wet hen.
归根结底,“a wet hen”这个短语主要意思就是指一种大麻烦,或者费劲的事。
