中式英语口语错误讲解

100.昙花一现

[误] The good days were only the display of broad-leaved epiphyllum.

[正] The good days were only a nine days\' wonder.

翻译：那好时光却只是昙花一现。

讲解：“昙花一现”在中文里是个成语，它在英文中的表达也是约定俗成的。你可以用 a nine days\' wonder，也可以用 a flash in the pan，你甚至可以说 last briefly。但象上面的那样的直译却是典型的中式英语，会贻笑大方的。

I wonder what the dickens was eating away at him.
我不知道到底是什么事在使他烦心。
