Once In A Blue Moon

中秋前,再来一个关于月亮的英文谚语 “once in a blue moon”。

Moon 月亮在晚上看上去,多是淡黄色的。在罕有的情况下,月儿在某一个角度用肉眼看会呈浅蓝色。故 once in a blue moon 解作罕有一次。

【例句】

After I graduated, I only see my school friends once in a blue moon.
毕业后,我已绝少见我的校友。

Jack leaves his house only once in a blue moon.  What makes him out of town today?
杰克鲜有离家,今天是甚么把他请到镇外?
