【短语来源】
A pink is a popular garden flower.Shakespeare was the first to use it as metaphor for a particular quality:"I am the very pink of courtesy",says Mercutio playfully(Romeo and Juliet,II,4,line36).The image was copied and spread,most notably in the pink of good condition,of which the current expression is a shortened version.
粉红色的花事花园中最受欢迎的花。莎士比亚是第一个把它比喻成一个有着特殊品质的隐士。罗密欧与朱丽叶中的Mercutio开玩笑地说“我是礼貌的典范”。这个想象被复制并发展,最为显著的表达是现在缩减的观点:一种好的境况。
