朋友喝得酩酊大醉,而且醉了一宿，有什么解酒妙方嗎？有，解方就是the hair of the dog (that bit you)。乍聽起來(lái)，這二者好象風(fēng)馬牛不相及。
這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的本意是，如果被狗咬傷了，咬傷的部位必須得用從咬人的那條狗身上的狗毛來(lái)治療?，F(xiàn)在， The(A) hair of the dog (that bit you)已經(jīng)成為一種幽默的用法，指用來(lái)解宿醉的酒(an alcoholic drink taken in the morning because it is said to cure illness caused by drinking too much alcohol the night before)
TRAVIS: "Hello, De Smith! You're looking better than expected. I understood that you were completely crushed by that love affair. How did you recover?"
DE SMITH: "Hair of the dog that bit me. Fell in love with another girl."
顯然，這里的"dog"就是指"女孩"了。所以如果你喝錯(cuò)了什么，用錯(cuò)了什么，后來(lái)又要用同樣的東西做解藥，你都可以說(shuō)The(A) hair of the dog (that bit you)。
