tell me how come this would happen?

问题描述:

tell me how come this would happen?
for what reason does quicksand flow slowly,slim chance equals to fat chance and a wise man and a wise guy are the opposites?
why?

Quicksand can work slowly
动作很慢的流沙被称为“快沙”(沙漠里馅进去,就爬不起来);
slim chance equals to fat chance and a wise man and a wise guy are the opposites
胖瘦截然相反,可后面跟着chance就都变成“机会渺茫”了;聪明人(wise man)改一个词,就沦落为自作聪明的人(wise guy).
这些词都是经过几百年沉淀的精髓,有时候反其道而行之,大部分成了;俚语和谚语!
