“如履薄冰”怎么说
<p>还记得黛玉初进贾府时，曹翁寥寥几笔——“步步留心，时时在意，不肯轻易多说一句话，多行一步路”，黛玉细心、多虑、自尊的性格特点便跃然纸上。这番描述很让人想到短语“<span word="to">to</span> <span word="walk">walk</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="eggs">eggs</span>”，它与我们汉语中的“如履薄冰”颇有异曲同工之妙。</p><p>“<span word="To">To</span> <span word="walk">walk</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="eggs">eggs</span>”最早出现于16世纪末，常用来形容“某人做事十分小心谨慎，犹如在薄冰上行走一样”。语言学家猜测，人们在杜撰该片语时，一定发挥了超乎寻常的想象——地上放满了鸡蛋，你走路时一定得小心翼翼、一点一点慢慢前移，否则，弄不好就会踩在不经碰的鸡蛋上……</p><p>有时，“<span word="to">to</span> <span word="walk">walk</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="eggs">eggs</span>”也可写做“<span word="to">to</span> <span word="tread">tread</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="eggs">eggs</span>”。</p><p>看下面一个例句：<span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="walking">walking</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="eggs">eggs</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="asked">asked</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="company">company</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="involvement">involvement</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="lawsuit">lawsuit</span>. 我小心翼翼地询问公司被起诉一事。</p>
