【郑州英语角】听说out of the blue的意思是青出于蓝胜于蓝？

听说有人把out of the blue翻译成青出于蓝而胜于蓝？

当然不是这个意思啦！其实out of the blue的意思是“突然地，意外地”

例句:

Then, wham! Out of the blue, I'm crying by a tree stump.

突然间，好像靠着树大哭一场。

She said something strange out of the blue.

她突然说了一些奇怪的话。

如果我们要表达青出于蓝而胜于蓝，可以说：The student has become the master
