一个有关英语习语俗语的问题
sailing close to the wind 我想知道它的起源,就是这个习语是怎么来的,或是最初是用来形容什么的,中英文都可.意思和用法就不用说了!

答案
to do something that is dangerous or only just legal or acceptable
就是字面意思来的：
based on the literal meaning of sail close to the wind (to sail a boat as near as possible to the direction the wind is coming from)
最初用于航海
Taken from nautical terminology:if a boat under sail heads directly into the wind it will be stopped by the backward pressure of the sails against the masts.Sailing ‘close to’ the direction from which the wind is blowing is therefore risky but makes for more rapid progress than sailing at a more oblique angle.
