词组 | hale and hearty |
释义 | hale and hearty This is one of those alliterative duplications, says Evans 1957, which become clichés. The phrase denotes robust good health and is almost always used of older persons. It is so familiar that it can be misspelled by those who, as the saying goes, "spell by ear." • ... who at 91 years of age looked hale and hardy — Johns Hopkins Mag., Spring 1983 If you use the phrase, mind the spelling. See also hail, hale; hardy, hearty. |
