请教高手,谢谢!
短语“hold a candle(to)”常和否定形式连用,指“及不上、比不上”,其相应的英文释义为“be inferior to someone or something”。
据悉,该短语最早出现于1564年,源自英国诗人的“John Heywood's collection ”(《约翰·海伍德文集,1564》)。当时,人们以蜡烛照明,视举蜡烛(为主人照明)的人为下等人,由此,not hold a candle to(还及不上举蜡烛的人)后引申为“比不上”。
看下面一个例句:She writes quite amusing stories but she can' t hold a candle to the more serious novelists. (她能写些很有趣的故事,但是,若和能发人深省的小说家相比,就差远了。)
没有人为我指明方向
