俚語精解
If March comes in like a lion, it goes out like a lamb.
March是「三月」,come in 表「來到」,go out 表 「離開」。在這裡獅子和綿羊分別用來象徵嚴峻與mouseout="q69e23l87s41('out', 0, event, this);return true;" onmouseover="q69e23l87s41('over', 0, event, this);return true;" onclick="q69e23l87s41('click', 0, event, this);return true;">舒適的天氣,也就是說三月初的天氣若像獅子般寒冷嚴峻,那麼我們就可以預期,三月底的天氣會如羔羊般舒適溫馴。
例:My grandmother often says if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.(我奶奶常說,若三月初的天氣像獅子般嚴峻,那麼月底的天氣就會像羔羊般溫順。)
