| 词组 | Murphy's law |
| 释义 | Murphy's law noun a cynical “law” of existence that decrees that “if something can go wrong it will – and even if it can’t, it still might” US, 1955 Said to derive from a remark (or philosophy) of Captain E. Murphy at Edwards Air Force Base. The underlying maxim or “law” is found as early as 1941, as “an old legend” from Peru in 1952, and in 1957 it is offered as “an old theatrical saying”. At best, it seems to be the attribution of an old saying to a new, glamourous aviation context.
