APAD: Mad as a March hare

本帖於 2025-06-06 03:43:10 時間, 由普通用戶 最西邊的島上 編輯

To be as "mad as a March hare" is an English idiomatic phrase derived from the observed antics said to occur only in the March breeding season of the European hare (Lepus europaeus). The phrase is an allusion that can be used to refer to any other animal or human who behaves in the excitable and unpredictable manner of a March hare.

 

Although the phrase in general has been in continuous use since the 16th century, it was popularised in more recent times by Lewis Carroll in his 1865 children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in which the March Hare is a character.

Trouble begets trouble. The rain won't give up and followed me to Norwegian land yesterday, so we went and took refuge in Oslo National Museum in the afternoon.

 

Ahh, what a modern and wonderful museum it is!  I felt like a treasure hunter moving painting to painting, till the famous “The Scream”by Edvard Munch (see the pics I took below). 

 

I don’t know what exactly Munch had in mind when he painted it, but felt the confusion, the pain, the fear and the desperation inside the character. The emotion was so strong that I couldn’t move away but to sit down and stay with him, to ponder.

 

Or could he just be as "mad as a March hare”? 什麽

 

Also, the very recent duel between Musk and Trump made me wonder: do many other people in the world feel like screaming right now? 恨

 

I don’t know the answer.  Do you? ?
