【明報專訊】署名Janice的讀者來電郵問，play old
gooseberry作何解？

(1) play old
gooseberry指「嚴重干擾」或「大肆破壞」等，例如：

A great gale played old gooseberry with the boats.

颶風把那些船打壞了。(An English-Chinese Dictionary of
Idioms)

(2) 但切勿與play gooseberry混淆，play
gooseberry是指在情人之間「做電燈膽」，例如：

Oh, you two go by yourselves! You don't want me coming
along playing gooseberry.

喔，你們兩個自己去好啦！不會要我夾在中間做電燈膽的。

(3) 其實，與play old
gooseberry同義的表達方法甚多，茲舉幾個例：

連場風暴嚴重干擾我們接收電視。

(4) The great cyclical crisis had played hell with
economic situations.

plan(s) to travel.

母親這一生病，把我們的派對破壞了。(陸谷孫《英漢大詞典》)
