英文原文

Today we will talk about how to describe something that shows promise of being great, but then turns out to be not so great. We can call this a flash in the pan.

今天我们将讨论如何描述一些起初看似很有前途，但最终却并非如此出色的东西。我们可以称之为“昙花一现”。

First, let's look at the words in this expression. A flash is a sudden burst of light or fire, here one second and gone the next.

首先，我们来看看这个短语中的词汇。“flash”指的是突然爆发出的光或火，转瞬即逝。

Sometimes we use the expression "flash in the pan" for things that seem to be going well, there is hope, but then in the blink of an eye, things turn bad. In other words, things go from good to bad very quickly.

有时，我们会用“昙花一现”这个短语来形容那些看似进展顺利，充满希望，但转眼间就变得糟糕的事情。换句话说，事情很快地从好变坏。

An artist or entertainer could be described as a flash in the pan if their success happens quickly but does not last long.

如果一个艺术家或演员的成功来得快去得也快，那他们就可以被形容为“昙花一现”。

If a singer is a flash in the pan, we could also call him or her a "one hit wonder." This expression describes an artist who has only one popular or hit song and then disappears from the spotlight.

如果一位歌手是“昙花一现”的，我们也可以称他或她为“一夜成名，随即销声匿迹的歌手”。这个短语描述的是那些只有一首流行或热门歌曲，然后就从聚光灯下消失的艺术家。

Here is another example of how to use "flash in the pan": "I thought that my new boss was going to be here for a long time, but she was just a flash in the pan. Here today, gone tomorrow."

再举一个如何使用“昙花一现”的例子：“我以为我的新老板会在这里待很长时间，但她只是昙花一现。今天还在，明天就走了。”
