Cat's pajamas的意思和它的字面翻譯“貓咪的睡袍”沒(méi)有什么聯(lián)系,它的意思是“不同凡響的人或物”(be the best thing, person or idea),暗含著“領(lǐng)導(dǎo)時(shí)尚潮流的(stylishness)”和“前衛(wèi)(newness)”的意思。
而英美國(guó)家人仿佛又對(duì)cat情有獨(dú)鐘,由cat組成的短語(yǔ)數(shù)不勝數(shù),例如 “l(fā)et the cat out the bag”(泄密), “to rain cats and dogs”(下傾盆大雨), “l(fā)ike a cat on hot bricks/tin roof”(焦躁不安), “no room to swing a cat”( 地方狹窄)。
