释义

curate's egg

noun
/ˌkjʊərəts ˈeɡ/
/ˌkjʊrəts ˈeɡ/
[singular]
  1. a thing that is partly good and partly bad. The phrase comes from a cartoon in the British magazine Punch in 1895, in which a nervous young curate (= priest) is having breakfast with a bishop. The bishop says 'I'm afraid you've got a bad egg there' and the curate, not wanting to upset the bishop, replies, 'Oh no, my Lord! … Parts of it are excellent!’策展人的蛋:一种东西,它有好有坏。这个短语来自1895年英国杂志《 Punch》中的一幅漫画,其中一位紧张的年轻策展人(牧师)正在与主教共进早餐。主教说:“我怕你那里蛋不好。”而那位策展人不想让主教烦恼,回答说:“哦,不,我的主!…其中的一部分很棒!
    • Their investment plan shows the familiar curate's egg pattern of some bits doing well and others doing badly.他们的投资计划显示了人们熟悉的副牧师的鸡蛋模式,即有些人做得好,有些人做得不好。
