24 blew all the fuses, feel blue

Henry:今天談甚麼?

趙Sir:讓我們談?wù)刡lew和blue這對同音異義字的用法。

Henry:Blew是blow的過去式(past tense),而blue是“藍(lán)色的”。

趙Sir:Blew有以下五個意思:

一、“吹、刮”,例如:

A strong gust of wind blew his hat off his head.

(一陣大風(fēng)把他的帽子從頭上吹了下來。)

二、“(用嘴)吹氣”,例如:

He bent towards the candle and blew gently.

(他彎下腰朝蠟燭輕輕吹氣。)

She picked up a book and blew the dust off it.

(她拿起一本書並吹走它的灰塵。)

三、“吹響”,例如:

The guard blew his whistle and the train started.

(列車長吹了哨子,火車便開動了。)

四、“使(電器)燒壞、使(保險(xiǎn)絲)燒斷”,例如:

A power surge blew all the fuses, and the house was plunged into darkness.

(電力急增,把所有保險(xiǎn)絲都燒斷了,房子陷入一片漆黑。)

五、“(非正式)糟蹋(良機(jī))”,例如:

We were in with a good chance for that contract but you blew it.

(我們本來很有機(jī)會簽下那份合約,可是你現(xiàn)在真的把它糟蹋了。)

Henry:真可惜!Blue又如何?

趙Sir:Blue是“藍(lán)色的”,是特別顏色,有時(shí)“蔚藍(lán)的”,例如:

The sky was gloriously blue.

(天空亮麗蔚藍(lán)。)

但有時(shí)卻令人“沮喪的”,例如:

She usually calls her mother when she's feeling blue.

(她情緒低落時(shí)通常會致電給母親。)

至於once in a blue moon,卻有“難得、千載難逢”之意,例如:

They come to visit once in a blue moon.

(他們難得來作客。)
