whole other bag這個表達方式怎麼會變成完全不同的意思呢?我對字源很好奇。

Whole other bag意味著whole different matter / situation / problem / issue 。這個表達來自whole other bag of tricks的表達,它是一個英語成語,實際上沒有任何意義,可以應用於各種情況。 Whole 'nother matter, whole other thing有具有相同含義的表達,例如Whole 'nother matter, whole other thing 。例子: I thought that my experience as a model would help me in acting. But I was wrong! Acting is a whole other bag. (我認為我作為模特的經驗將有助於演戲,但我錯了!演戲是一個完全不同的故事。)例子: It's one thing to babysit your friends'or siblings' kids. But having your own kids is a whole 'nother matter! (可以成為朋友或兄弟姐妹的保姆,但是生自己的孩子是完全不同的事情!)
