But truely told the naked trueth, To men that meld with mee, For neither rigour, nor for rueth, But onely loath to lie. [Montgomerie, 1585] Phrase naked as a jaybird (1943) was earlier naked as a robin (1879, in a Shropshire context); the earliest comparative was naked as a needle (late 14c.). 词根记忆: a. 裸体的,无遮敝的,无掩饰的The cake maker shakes a naked snake with the quaking rake without sake.蛋糕制造者无缘无故地用抖动的耙子摇一条赤裸的蛇. |
