find a mare's nest
mare's nest的渊源,简单地近乎荒诞——因为母马从不筑巢穴,所以mare's nest(母马的巢穴)自然也就不会存在。由此,“mare's nest”常用来比喻“原以为重要的追求,到头来来却空欢喜、梦一场”。或许,人们又觉得,不会筑巢的母马既使筑巢穴也会搞得一团糟(更为荒诞的推理),所以,“mare's nest”又可用来指代“杂乱、无序、棘手”的状况。
值得一提的是,mare's nest 常与动词find搭配,举两个例子:
He thought the girl would be his wife-to-be, only to find a mare's nest.(他一直以为那个女孩会嫁给他,到头来却是空欢喜一场。)
-It's said that a 60-year-old woman was pregnant. 传说一个60岁的老太太怀孕了。
-It proved just to be a mare's nest. 根本就是子虚乌有。
