猜谜语记俗语：晴天霹雳
<p>有读者说，“词海拾贝”怎么净讲英/美式脑筋急转弯 ？嘿嘿，中国人当然不能忘本，想要猜中式谜语？那还不容易！问：最反常的气候？打一成语。谜底…… 呵呵，先告诉您该成语相应的英文释义：<span word="A">A</span> <span word="bolt">bolt</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>。</p><p><span word="Bolt">Bolt</span>指的是“闪电”，<span word="blue">blue</span>当然是“<span word="blue">blue</span> <span word="sky">sky</span>”（蓝天）。估摸说到这儿，没有人不知道我的谜底了—— 晴天霹雳。 据载，“晴天霹雳/青天霹雳”语出陆放翁诗句“放翁病过秋，忽起作醉墨。正如久蛰龙，青天飞霹雳。” 显然，由自然界的“青天飞霹雳”，成语“晴天霹雳”后引申为“突然发生的意外、噩耗”。 就时间而言，“<span word="a">a</span> <span word="bolt">bolt</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>”要比“晴天霹雳”晚700多年，大约19世纪进入英语词汇。从用法上看，“<span word="a">a</span> <span word="bolt">bolt</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>”与“晴天霹雳”如出一辙，均可指反常的自然现象和意想不到的意外。 看下面一个例句：<span word="The">The</span> <span word="news">news</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="death">death</span> <span word="came">came</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bolt">bolt</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>.（他死亡的消息好似晴天霹雳。） 此外，就如“晴天霹雳”可用“青天霹雳”来表达一样，<span word="a">a</span> <span word="bolt">bolt</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>也可表示为“<span word="a">a</span> <span word="bolt">bolt</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>/<span word="a">a</span> <span word="bolt">bolt</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="clear">clear</span>, <span word="blue">blue</span> <span word="sky">sky</span>”。</p><p>“替罪羊”和“黑马”</p><p>趣解“替罪羊”</p><p>注意！“黑马”不“黑”</p>
