補充說明:
"ducks and drakes" 是英語中一個具有多重含義的短語,其解釋可分為以下三個層面:
指用扁平石塊在水面彈跳的傳統遊戲,最早于16世紀進入英語詞彙。參與者通過投擲石塊,使其在水面連續彈跳,比拼彈跳次數和距離。例如:
"Children were playing ducks and drakes by the lake, making stones skip across the water."
該短語衍生出"輕率浪費金錢"的比喻義,常用搭配為"play ducks and drakes with"。這種用法源自遊戲中石塊的短暫存在——如同錢財被迅速消耗。例如:
"He played ducks and drakes with his inheritance and ended up bankrupt."
