从古代开始，中国的文人墨客就擅用同义词的现象写诗、做文章。清朝才子纪晓岚参加宴席的时候，有人让他写一首祝福的诗句，没想到纪晓岚竟然“骂”起人来了，这究竟是怎么一回事儿呢？

汉字小故事-同义转换-《纪晓岚巧用“坏”词说好话》

افسوس که نامه جوانی طی شد، و آن تازه بهار زندگانی طی شد
آن مرغ که نام او بود شباب، فریاد که ندانم کی آمد کی شد!

Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close! The Nightingale that in the branches sang, Ah whence, and whither flown again, who knows!

Persian Poetry

Khayyam - افسوس که نامه جوانی طی شد
