to pass with flying colors 是從 to come off with flying colors來的
flying colors是指飛舞的旗子
以前在海上打仗贏了 船上的旗子就繼續飄揚
所以 to come off with flying colors就表示打仗打贏了
to pass with flying colors則是指 你很成功地通過考驗
例句1:
He passed the test with flying colors.
(He not only passed the test, but also did very well on it. )
他不只通過考試, 還考得很好
例句2:
Woman1: I tested my boyfriends loyalty last night.
(女人1: 我昨晚測驗我男朋友的忠誠度)
Woman2: How did he do? (女人2: 結果如何?)
Woman1: He passed it with flying colors. (女人1: 他很成功地通過考驗)
