浅议成语的转生新义现象

On Phenomenon of Idioms With New Meanings

在同样流行于社会的不同词典中,甚至在同一种词典的新旧不同版本中,对相同的一个成语的解释不尽相同,甚至前后矛盾,其原因在于语言具有社会性,它随着社会的发展而发展。因此,对成语新义的取舍应该与时俱进。

In many kinds of dictionaries in use, the same idiom has different explainations, even though they are in the same dictionary with different editions. They are even contradictory. The reasons are that language has social features, it develops with the society. Thus＇, to accept or reject the new meanings of the idioms should advance with time.
