First, the literal meaning is clear

Idioms are language units, not speech units. The semantic meaning is solidified, the meaning is holistic, and cannot be understood literally.

Empty streets means that the residents of the streets and alleys have walked out, not that the streets and alleys are empty. Just reading the literal meaning is the opposite.

Second, misinterpret the meaning of the word

Many idioms have a keyword in them, and if you don’t understand the meaning, you will misunderstand them.

Disapproval means not thinking it is correct, and "ran" means "correct" or "right". Many people regard it as a function word and interpret this idiom as "don't take it seriously", which is wrong.

It is not satisfactory but still exciting and satisfying. "Poor" cha means "slightly", and it is not difficult to understand it as "too bad."

Third, there is no polysemy

Some words in the idiom have polysemy or homophones. If you understand it wrongly, the whole idiom will be misunderstood.

To write without adding points means to be quick in thinking and complete in writing without revision. "Point" means "circle dot", which refers to modifying the article, not punctuation. You can't think of punctuation marks when you see "wen", so you misinterpret it as writing an article without punctuation marks.

Unpublished opinions refer to unchangeable remarks. "Publish" means to modify, not to publish, and should not be understood as comments that are not worthy of publication.

Fourth: Not understanding the meaning

Some idioms are metaphors or extended meanings. If you don’t understand this, you will go astray.

Looking like a torch means far-sightedness, not piercing eyes.

The sound of footsteps in the empty valley refers to rare news, guests or things. If you understand it as the sound of footsteps coming from the valley, it is indeed correct. This is the original meaning, and the overall meaning has been extended.

The fifth subject and object are reversed

Some idioms describe situations that are divided into subjects and objects. If they are reversed, the meaning will be completely different.

Elegance and vulgarity can be appreciated by people with high culture and low culture. The subject of elegance and vulgarity is people, not works. This is not to say that the works of high quality and low quality can only be appreciated in one piece.

To empathize is to say that you feel it as if you are personally experiencing it. The subject does not include others and cannot be understood as having the same feeling.
