我在看一本故事書時看到一段內容說一家店子想聘一個年輕人做工，在招工告示上寫：Bright Lad Wanted。
一個小孩子想找工作，見到這張告示就問他媽媽：Mummy, Am I bright?
媽媽回答：As bright as a button
我想問..as bright as a button 是否一句諺語，有其特別的意思呢？因為我唔明點解讚人地醒目會話佢好似粒鈕咁...
as bright as a button 點解?

✔ 最佳答案
as bright (cute) as a button係句idiom, 解聰明伶俐, 思路敏捷呢句說話有好幾種出處解釋, e.g.話button其實係指button quail (a kind of bird), 又或者係指一粒好shinny好sharp好引人注目既鈕(我個比較buy呢個explanation);
雖然無話一定, 但as bright as a button 通常係用黎形容小朋友(大概係大人唔鐘意比人俾做一粒鈕仔卦)
