| 词源 | wear one’s heart on one’s sleeve. To make one’s feelings ob- vious. Shakespeare probably coined the phrase in Othello (1604): “I will wear my heart upon my sleeve / For daws [crows] to peck at . . .” But it may have originated in medieval tourna- ments when contestants sported knots of ribbon ladies they loved gave them to wear on their sleeves in competitions. |
