The information explosion has been shouted for more than twenty years, and it is only in the era of self-media that this experience has really been realized.
However, the big waves are mixed with mud and sand, and due to the difference in the cultural level of self-media authors, you will find some typos in many articles.
Some typos may be missed or overlooked by the author, this reader can basically understand, some white words may be the pot of input methods, radishes are fast without washing mud directly typed homophones, but some word errors are completely because the author does not understand the meaning of the words.
This article is a selection of eight idioms that are often misused in media articles to share.
Fires in January and July
This is an idiom that often appears in the college entrance examination season in previous years, and many people use "July fire" to indicate that the heat in July is unbearable, just like the fire in the sky.
In fact, the July flowing fire comes from the "Book of Poetry, National Wind, Fengfeng", July refers to the seventh month of the summer calendar (also said to be the first week), "fire" refers to the second place of the heart, that is, the great Mars, one of the twenty-eight stars, the summer calendar June big Mars is in the south of the sky, July begins to sink west, called "flowing fire", which means that the weather begins to cool.
There are many people who misuse this idiom, even the president of a famous university in his speech: "July is a fire, but it is not only the weather that is full of enthusiasm", which makes people laugh.
Second, tomorrow's yellow flowers
This idiom is not used correctly in meaning, the main misuse is in the literal, many people have written as "yesterday's yellow flowers".
Tomorrow's Yellow Flowers are from Su Shi's "Nine Days of The Second Rhyme Wang Gong": When they meet, they don't have to be busy returning, and tomorrow's yellow flowers and butterflies are also worried, literally: put aside this gathering and drip well, don't worry about going home, and when the Ming'er Chongyang Festival has passed, the chrysanthemums are not even rare butterflies. The simplest explanation is "obsolete," which can be news or people or things.
Tomorrow's yellow flowers are often misused as "yesterday's yellow flowers", the reason may be people's thinking logic problems, Su Dongpo is on the day of the Chongyang Festival to say "tomorrow's yellow flowers", the original meaning is "wait for tomorrow will be outdated", but we generally interpret "tomorrow's yellow flowers" as "has become obsolete", so it is not surprising that the misuse of "yesterday's yellow flowers" appears.
Third, I can't bear to read
Perhaps because there is the word "can't bear", some articles use the meaning of "can't read" or "can't read" when it means "can't read it", describing the article as too bad or too excessive, and derogatory, which is a typical misuse.
In fact, the unbearable reading comes from the Qing Dynasty Huaiyin Baiyi Resident's "Hu Tianlu Shang Volume": Min Governor He Gong Xiao Song, bang his wife a couplet, word by word, such as weeping like a complaint, people can't bear to read it. It is generally used to describe the content of the article as very touching, and people can't bear to read it, which is obviously positive.
Fourth, the chest has no city government
The idiom of chestless city government comes from the "Biography of Song Shi Fu Yao Yu": Yao Yu is thick and widowed, and when people do not set up a city government, people cannot bear to be deceived. Meaning, this person is very sincere and frank, and his heart is consistent, which is a very typical positive word. Some media have written about the famous actor Yang Lixin: Chestless people like jade, this is the correct usage.
The incorrect misuse of the chestless city government will occur in describing a person's mind is simple, of course, this use can not be absolutely wrong, the meaning is somewhat similar, but it is still very awkward to look at, just like the difference between "frankness" and "lack of heart".
Fifth, up and down their hands
There are quite a few misuses of this idiom, the most common of which is entertainment news, and who is up and down by a certain star when filming, which means to be oiled. What's even more outrageous is that there are articles that say that thieves steal things and rob tombs, saying that tomb robbers put their hands on corpses.
The upper and lower hands are from the "Twenty-six Years of Zuo Chuan Xianggong", which says that the Chu state attacked the Zheng state, a Chu general captured a Zheng Guo shou general, the prince of the Chu state ran to grab the merit, and the minister in charge of arbitration introduced the prince of the Chu state with his hand, and introduced the Chu general with his subordinates, implying that the two were high and low. Therefore, the upper and lower hands are used by posterity to describe collusion and cheating.
The author believes that it is difficult to understand that the upper and lower hands are misused by so many people, because this idiom is difficult to associate with oil even if it is literary.
Sixth, 10,000 empty alleys
This idiom is often used by some media to describe some popular TV series, the most typical is "Longing", many articles including authoritative media about "Longing" to use "ten thousand empty alleys", which means that every household is watching TV dramas at home, and the alleys are empty.
Ten thousand empty alleys are from Su Shi's "August 17th Re-ascending Wanghai Tower": Lai has the Ming Dynasty to see the tide, and the ten thousand empty alleys fight new makeup. The idiom was later used to describe the crowded event when a major event was held, literally meaning that every family came out of their homes to watch or participate in a major event, and the alley was empty.
The misuse of the empty alley is actually understandable, after all, the original meaning and misuse are not very different, they are all describing the grand situation, the alley is also empty, but one is that people are out and one is that people are at home, but in any case, we should still follow the original intention.
Seventh, it is not satisfactory
The number of misuses of this idiom is really no less than that of thousands of empty alleys, and the most classic one is the apology letter of the Chinese Football Association to fans across the country: "The performance of the Chinese men's football team is not satisfactory, which makes the majority of fans feel disappointed."
The difference is from the Southern and Northern Dynasties Liu Song Fan Ye's "Later Han Book of Wu Han Biography", once Liu Xiu lost a battle, other generals lost their fighting spirit, Liu Xiu himself was also very frustrated, only General Wu Han and his soldiers were sorting out weapons and equipment in an attempt to fight again, Liu Xiu could not help but sigh: Wu Gong was strong and unsatisfactory, looming like an enemy country. This means that there is still General Wu Han, which can be more or less satisfactory. Therefore, it is still generally satisfactory for future generations to describe something as poor.
Therefore, combined with the national team's record, the fans must be disappointed, so the Football Association issued an apology letter, but the result was written: the performance of the national football team can still be generally satisfactory, only the fans are disappointed.
Laugh to death.
Eighth, the wind comes from the hole
It's a controversial idiom, and it's very controversial.
The wind from the hole comes from the Warring States Song Yu's "Wind Endowment": Subjects hear about the master: the sentence comes to the nest, and the hole comes to the wind. This means that crooked branches will attract birds and finches to make nests, and where there are holes, there will be wind.
If you simply explain the original meaning of the empty wind, it is four words: there is a reason for the incident, and in layman's terms, it can also be said that the fly does not bite the seamless egg. This means that with cause (void), there is an effect (wind).
However, many articles often use the empty wind as the opposite meaning, that is: unfounded, no cause and effect, and the empty wind at this time is used to describe the gossip that is created out of nothing.
The most annoying thing is that it is said that there are now some authoritative reference books that have included the meaning of misuse, which means that it seems correct for you to use empty words to describe unfounded gossip.
The author believes that the ancients' "hole in the wind" is actually in line with physical principles, and empty caves or holes are indeed easy to attract wind. The misuse of the meaning becomes "how can there be wind in an empty cave or hole", which is actually against the principles of physics.
In addition to the above eight idioms, in recent years, there have been some other words debated on the Internet, such as "the triumphant return of Olympic athletes", is this "triumphant return" misused?
The author believes that the triumphant return can not really be misused, although the "triumph" already has the meaning of return, but the word triumphant return is similar to "Chinese New Year's Eve night", should belong to the "envy" phenomenon in the text, which means the meaning of the surplus, and is not misused.
In the end, there may be many people who are not satisfied with this kind of error correction in this article, they think that as long as the meaning of words and words can be understood by most people, misuse is fine, and misuse may become correct in the future, such as "dull", "far up the cold mountain stone path oblique", "a ride on the red dust concubine laugh" and other pronunciation changes are so, like the hollow wind has a widespread use of misuse of the meaning of the word.
The author believes that in the field of culture, it is still not too conniving at "bad money to drive out good money", culture still needs to have a certain threshold, the literacy stage, the period of poor information can be liberalized, now the twenty-first century has passed a fifth, the mobile Internet is so developed, want to check a word even the dictionary does not have to be turned, mobile phones can be done in a minute, we do not have to lower the threshold of culture again and again.
