短释义:
Has an embarrassing mistake ever made you feel like you’re stumbling around with your eyes closed? If so, it won’t surprise you to learn that blunder comes from the Old Norse word blundra, meaning to “shut one’s eyes.” It wasn’t until the eighteenth century that blunder came to refer to a stupid or embarrassing mistake, or as a verb, to describe making such a mistake, as in “I tend to blunder when I’m nervous.”

是否曾经犯过一个令人尴尬的错误,让你感觉自己闭着眼睛跌跌撞撞地走来走去?如果是这样,你就不会感到惊讶了,“错误”一词源自古斯堪的纳维亚语单词“blundra”,意思是“闭上眼睛”。直到十八世纪,“blunder”才开始指代愚蠢或令人尴尬的错误,或者作为动词来描述犯这样的错误,例如“当我紧张时,我往往会犯错误”。
