“大惊小怪”怎么说
<p>“大惊小怪”怎么说</p><p>遇到不可思议的事，听到明星出人意外的绯闻，难免会“大惊小怪”。那么用英语怎么表达这个意思呢？这次我们就来学学几个“大惊小怪”的表达法。 1. <span word="Don">Don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="fuss">fuss</span>.</p><p>别大惊小怪的。 <span word="Fuss">Fuss</span> 这个词就是指“大惊小怪、手忙脚乱”啦！<span word="Fuss">Fuss</span>在这里是个名词，指的是对事情表现出过分的或者是不必要的关心。它的动词也有同样的意思，比如“一次考试没考好而已，干嘛大惊小怪的”就可以说成：<span word="Don">Don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="fuss">fuss</span> <span word="over">over</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="low">low</span> <span word="test">test</span> <span word="grade">grade</span>. 2. <span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="teacup">teacup</span>.</p><p>没什么可大惊小怪的。 从字面意思上看来，<span word="a">a</span> <span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="teacup">teacup</span> 是指“茶杯里的风暴”；美语里把它写作<span word="a">a</span> <span word="tempest">tempest</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="teapot">teapot</span>/<span word="barrel">barrel</span>，也有写成<span word="tea">tea</span>-<span word="pot">pot</span> <span word="tempest">tempest</span>的。顾名思义，“茶杯里的风暴”自然算不得什么大事，所以就被用来比喻“小题大做，大惊小怪”了。比如：“那对夫妻经常吵架，没什么大惊小怪的”就可以说成：<span word="That">That</span> <span word="couple">couple</span> <span word="often">often</span> <span word="quarrel">quarrel</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="teacup">teacup</span>. <span word="A">A</span> <span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="teacup">teacup</span>这个短语最早是18世纪法国哲学家和思想家孟德斯鸠用来评论圣马力诺政治动乱的。因为圣马力诺是欧洲最小的共和国，只有一万人口，孟德斯鸠认为那里的动乱对整个欧洲局势无足轻重。 <span word="a">a</span> <span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="teacup">teacup</span> 这个片语有许多变形，例如<span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cream">cream</span> <span word="bowl">bowl</span>，<span word="tempest">tempest</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="glass">glass</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="water">water</span>，<span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hand">hand</span>-<span word="wash">wash</span> <span word="basin">basin</span>等等，都是表示“大惊小怪，小题大做”的意思。</p>
