习语积累
习语 n. (as) mad as a hatter/a March hare (informal) (of a person 人) 发狂的;非常愚蠢的 mentally ill; very silly 【词源】From the Mad Hatter, a character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland . Because of the chemicals used in hat-making, workers often suffered from mercury poisoning, which can cause loss of memory and damage to the nervous system. A March hare was called mad because of the strange behaviour of hares during the mating season. 源于刘易斯∙卡罗尔所著《艾丽斯漫游奇境记》一书中的疯狂的帽商(Mad Hatter)这一形象。做帽子用的化学药品经常使工人受汞毒毒害,破坏他们的记忆和神经系统。三月的兔子(March hare)在交配期行为怪异,因而被称为疯狂的兔子。
