Worse for wear?也是醉了!

经常被人问：“每个词都认识，合在一起就是不懂，什么状况?”我之前也写过几篇相关的帖子，但一直没有汇总。

今天又遇到了一个现成的例子，所以择日不如撞日，就开始整个系列吧。我会不定期介绍一些“看起来应该懂，但事实上真的不懂”的单词或短语。稍后我也会把所有相关的帖子整合到主页面的菜单上(点“原来如此”即可)，以方便集中查阅。就像我反复强调的，重在积累。碰到一个就记一个，找机会自己也这么说这么写，渐渐把这些用法都真正化为自己的知识。时间一长，你的英语会越来越地道。

今天这个现成的例子是worse for wear，来自我正在看的新书——The Breakdown，作者是B. A. Paris。(我已经无数次强推过她的Behind Closed Doors。If you follow my posts regularly and still haven't read that book, I'd be offended.)

Well, you were a little worse for wear that night. You didn't have to worry about driving home as Matthew was picking you up, so you had quite a few glasses of wine.

看了这段相关文字，应该很容易推测出worse for wear是“醉”的意思。但假如没有上下文，光提worse for wear，估计大家都不懂什么意思吧?

严格说来，worse for wear不只是“醉”这么简单，而且它的表达也不局限于一种，还有the worse for wear，the worse for the wear等等。

也就是说，worse for wear最初是表示“因使用时间长，渐渐磨损”，非常符合字面意思。后来它才渐渐引申出身体不舒服、状态不佳(尤指喝醉)的意思。

The Phrase Finder (www.phrases.org.uk) 给出了证明：

The meaning there is clear - 'as things are used, they deteriorate'. As it became established in the language, 'worse for wear' developed into a synonym for 'worn out'.

Into the 20th century, and the phrase took on another meaning, that is, 'drunk'. This was taken up by the UK tabloid press in the 1960s and has now superseded 'tired and emotional' as the euphemism of choice when describing some young wag falling out of a taxi at 3am.

据我所知，worse for wear的本义(worn out)和引申义(drunk)都还蛮常用的，所以建议大家一并掌握。

本义：This laptop is really worse for wear. You should get a new one.

引申义： We should give him a ride home. He's clearly the worse for wear.
