你知道Chicken意味着胆小鬼,但为什么你同时提到spring呢?

spring chicken与chicken意思是懦夫的意思不同。事实上, spring chicken是年轻人的表达方式,常用于表示对方不再年轻。示例: Heather isn't a spring chicken anymore. She can't do the things she used to. (Heather 不再是一个活泼的年轻人。他不能像以前那样做。) 示例: At 73, Dorris is still a spring chicken! Always out and about. (即使73岁了,多丽丝依然活泼! He's no spring chicken, but sure, he can join the team. (他和以前不一样了,但他仍然可以加入团队。)
