英语词汇easy as silk的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	easy as silk
词源	easy as silk. Everyone is familiar with the phrase smooth as silk, suggested by the touch of the soft, lustrous cloth made from the fiber obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm. Easy as silk is not so well known. An old-fashioned phrase used by our grandparents, it is synonymous with smooth as silk but pos- sibly also suggests how easy silk is to use in making clothing. I have heard the expression, once in an old movie, but can’t find it recorded anywhere.
