10. Strange Bedfellows: 不可能結(jié)盟的兩個(gè)人;同床異夢
How Shakespeare used it:
When Trinculo seeks shelter from a storm under the cloak of a creature he's very unsure about – he wonders if it's a man or a fish – he comments "misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows." (The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 2)
莎士比亞原文:特林鳩羅在一個(gè)他不知為何物的生物的斗篷下躲避暴風(fēng)雨時(shí),他不知道那是個(gè)人還是條魚,他說:“處于悲慘境地,人可以跟任何東西結(jié)成聯(lián)盟?!保ā侗╋L(fēng)雨》,第2幕第2場)
現(xiàn)代例句:
"But there's another key reason Philip Morris lobbied hard for FDA regulation, aligning itself with strange bedfellows like the Campaign for Smoke-Free Kids [and] the American Lung Association ..." — Kate Pickert, Time, June 12, 2009
