  示 例 《新唐书·后妃传上·太宗长孙皇后》:“与帝言,或及天下事,辞曰:'~,家之穷也,可乎?'”

  “误用”案例:“病鸡司晨”---转《咬文嚼字》2005年第三期25页,作者:李强
  京剧电视连续剧《风雨同仁堂》第七集中,汉奸黄维廉到同仁堂大掌柜刘某家,想用两千两银子收买同仁堂的延寿长生酒秘方,遭到了掌管同仁堂的乐大奶奶的严词拒绝。剧中人的对话、唱词都有字幕,其中有一句为:“同仁堂眼下可是病鸡司晨哪。”“病鸡司晨”让人莫名其妙。其实,这里的“病鸡”是“牝鸡”之误。
  雌性的鸟兽称为“牝”(pìn),“牝鸡”就是母鸡。“司晨”就是报晓,母鸡是不会“司晨”的。由于当时的同仁堂由孀居的乐大奶奶主事,自然有人不满;而旧时歧视妇女,便有人讽刺当家的乐大奶奶是“牝鸡司晨”。历史上就曾有人把武则天当权的时代称为“牝朝”。
  由于“牝”是个不常用的字,而“牝”和“病”读音又相近,便闹出了“病鸡司晨”的笑话。
