NO.1嫁鸡随鸡,嫁狗随狗“ 嫁鸡随鸡,嫁狗随狗”,原为“嫁乞随乞,嫁叟随叟”,出处是《卖油郎独占花魁》,意思是一个女人即使嫁给乞丐或者是年龄大的人也要随其生活一辈子。但随着时代的变迁,这一俗语转音成“ 嫁鸡随鸡,嫁狗随狗”了。NO.2三个臭皮匠,顶个诸葛亮“皮匠”实际上是“裨将”的谐音,裨将在古代是指副将。这句俗语的原意是指3个副将的智慧合起来能顶一个诸葛亮。后来,人们把“裨将”说成了“皮匠”。3个下层的、在第一线上行军打仗的裨将,有时他们的经验和智慧集中起来,就比远在大寨里指挥、足智多谋的诸葛亮来得有效。因此,“3个臭裨将,赛过诸葛亮”才是这句谚语的原意和原字。NO.3不见棺材不落泪“ 不见棺材不落泪”,本应是“不见亲棺不落泪”,意思是见了亲人的棺材才落泪,而不是见了任何棺材都落泪。NO.4跳到黄河也洗不清这本是一句歇后语,“跳到黄河——洗不清”。因为黄河水中含大量泥沙,十分浑浊,跳进黄河中,要洗净身上的污秽是不可能的,比喻一个人难于洗刷自己身上的污点。后来变为“ 跳到黄河也洗不清”,比较费解。NO.5有眼不识金镶玉现在人们说的“ 有眼不识金镶玉”其实是“有眼不识荆山玉”,这句俗语典出《韩非子·和氏》。里面所说的“荆山玉”就是出自荆山的和氏璧。NO.6不到黄河心不死明·凌蒙初《初刻拍案惊奇》卷十五里写到:“我道:‘你不到乌江心不死,今已到了乌江,这心原也该死了。’”。因此,“ 不到黄河心不死”应为“不到乌江不尽头”。NO.7王八蛋这是一句民间骂人的话,实际上,这句话的原来面目是“忘八端”。古代“八端”是指“孝,悌,忠,信,礼,义,廉,耻”,指的是做人之根本,忘记了“八端”也就是忘了做人根本,可是后来却被变成“ 王八蛋”。NO.8舍不得孩子套不着狼应该为“舍不得鞋子套不着狼”,这句俗语意思是要想打到狼,就要不怕走路、不怕费鞋。因为猎人想捕狼,往往要翻山越岭、跑许多山路,所以非常费鞋,如果舍不得费这一两双鞋子就很难捕到狼。就这样,“舍不得鞋子套不着狼”这句俗语就诞生并广泛流传开来了。这句俗语中的“鞋子”一词后来又怎么会讹变为“孩子”呢?原来,在古汉语中是没有j、q、x这3个音的,所以,在古汉语中“鞋”是读做“hai”。后来,“hai”音分化,一部分仍读做“hai”,另一部分则读做了“xie”。但在我国四川、湖北、湖南、上海、广东等地的方言中,“鞋子”却一直被读成“hai zi”。时间一长,“舍不得鞋子套不着狼”也就被讹传误记为“ 舍不得孩子套不着狼”了。NO.9狗屁不通这个成语最初是“狗皮不通”,狗皮没有汗腺,酷夏,狗借助舌头来散热,这个成语就是以狗的这一身体特点而言。由于“皮”与“屁”谐音,对于文理不通的诗文或不明事理的人,以屁贬之,意思更为鲜明。后来人们将错就错,约定俗成地将 “狗皮不通”变成了“ 狗屁不通”。NO.10无奸不成商“无尖不成商”被误解为“ 无奸不成商”。“尖”来源于古代用来度量的斗。古代米商做生意时,除了要将斗装满外,还要再多舀上一些,让斗里的米冒着尖儿。在那个时代,不能敦厚到这种程度的,就被公认为不够资格当商人。后来由于人们道德素质的下降,“无尖不成商”慢慢就变成了“ 无奸不成商”。
