标题[请益] your birds are flown???
时间Sat May 6 00:21:40 2017
By the time Woolf was writing, Americans were also using the word marbles to
mean “wits”, and it seems very likely that the reason for the slang was the
longstanding metaphor by which furniture, or lumber, meant knowledge. If you
“lose your marbles”, you lose your wits; your birds are flown.
从
https://goo.gl/NGqyWh
“This is why you’re losing your marbles”看到的句子，说明
lose your marbles的意含来源。
我不懂是为什麽说your birds are flown?????
不合语法的句子，请高手释疑，谢谢！
