- 1打噴嚏；片語 nothing to sneeze at 表示「不容小覷」
To sneeze is to suddenly and push air out through your nose and mouth, usually because of dust, a cold, or an allergy — 'achoo!' There's also a common phrase, 'nothing to sneeze at,' which means something is actually quite good or important, not something to look down on.
From the word’s history
From Old English fnēosan 'to sneeze, snort'; fn- later became sn-.
源自古英文 fnēosan「打噴嚏、噴氣」，開頭 fn- 後來變成 sn-。
