Out of kilter: 出差错;乱套
有的时候,我们虽然很明白某个词组的含义,却不甚了解词组中的某个单词,out of kilter就是这样一个例子。日常生活中,人们常用“out of kilter”来形容“事情变得糟糕”,但真正知道kilter含义的人却为数不多。 Kilter由17世纪的英国方言“kelter”演化而来,意思是“身体健康,状况良好”,如:This is a therapy for connecting yin and yang in kilter.(这项治疗可以协调阴阳。) 相应的,由于out of可形容“不再拥有某种状态”,所以,out of kilter可用来指“缺乏秩序,效率低下甚至出现故障”,举个例子: His body's chemistry is out of kilter.(他身体的化学机能都乱套了。)
