Give an irrelevant answer 　　Explanation: The question is not answered by the content. 　　Usage: The main predicate; as predicate, adverbial; negative, suggesting the question is not answered content 　　Source: Qing Wen Kang "Heroic Biography": "Master, is that he deflected the question and where the hit-way Messire heard: 'What is called the rare child?'" 　　Examples: According to the order of a question and answer, there is no ~'s ills, even if exceptionally strong feelings. (Tao, "divide") 　　Riddle: Reaction To answer the content is not to ask people 　　The content is not to answer people want to ask. Lu Xun's "Weeds Dead Fire": "He not answer the question and said: 'I have long abandoned destruction, elimination done.'" "People's Literature," 1976 No. 3: "Cheng Wah answer to my question and said: 'I put your situation, truthfully report to the county. '" Translated by Google 佛典故事 　　从前有两个孩子在河里游泳。一个说：‘喂！我们来个赌好不好？’‘如何赌法？’‘我们钻到水底，在河里最低处，抓一把沙或泥土上来，先上来的人就是赢。’‘好吧，就这样一言为定！’二人先游到河的最中央，叫一声开始，二人都钻到水中去，等一会二人都一起游上来，可以说二人的游技都旗鼓相当。二人都抓一把东西回来。 　　一个抓的是泥巴，一个抓的白色的毛发。’‘可能是仙人的胡须。’‘怎么知道是仙人的胡须？’‘因为仙人都是在河边修行的，仙人剔除胡须扔到河里，给我抓住的。’‘听说仙人身上的一毛一发，都是世间稀有的珍宝，我们已然得到仙人的胡须也是运气好。’‘是不是仙人的胡须现在还不能确定，必须有一位仙人给我们证实。’ 　　于是二人缘河边上游走，欲寻一位仙人给他们证明确是仙人的胡须。走了不久便遇著一位全身毛发都白的仙人。他们两个人恭恭敬敬的向仙人行礼，然后问：‘请问大仙这个东西是不是仙人的胡须？’仙人仔细的端详了一番，没有直接答他们所问，只拿了一把米和麦，放到口里嚼了一会，才吐出来说：‘这是孔雀粪。’仙人说完了，就闭目不再说话了，两个孩子听得莫名其妙，究竟仙人讲的是什么意思。 　　佛教的禅师往往答非所问，譬如说人问：‘佛法的大意是什么？’他答：‘麻三斤。’人问：‘什么是祖师西来意。’他答：‘牛粪。’这是为什么呢？禅的意义是要自参自悟，经他人的解说，是他人的与你的自性无关，故不用语言文字解说也不直接解答你的问题。 　　一般人都是同业才能相应——智识思想差不多，才能互相了解。若是智识思想悬殊，亦会答非所问或会错了意。达摩初来东土见梁武帝，帝问：‘朕建寺度僧不知有何功德？’答‘并无功德。’帝问：‘对朕者谁？’答：‘不识’。话不投机，达摩于是到小林寺面壁九年，遇神光才传法给他。 　　为什么会话不投机呢？因为每个人的智识高下不同、思想、个性，对事事物物的了解不同，对佛法的了解程度也不相同，所以话不能投机。佛是最高智慧者，说法应机，所以经典也有权说实说深说浅说，方便说，究竟说。各人研究经典，所了解不同，所以各有所见地，正知正见各有所见，邪知邪见也各有所见，如何分别是与非呢？那就佛经典作印证了*经典譬如照妖镜，邪知邪见的人欲投机取巧即无所遁形了。 成语解释 　　答非所问 　　拼音 dá fēi suǒ wèn 　　解释 回答的不是所问的内容。 　　出处 清·文康《儿女英雄传》第三十八回：“老爷正觉得他答非所问，程相公那里就打听说：‘什么叫做希希罕儿？’” 　　事例 按照着次序一问一答，没有～的弊病，就算情意格外浓厚。 ★叶圣陶《隔膜》 English Expression :  irrelevant n.:  over[answer]wide of the mark,  cross questions and crookcd answers Thesaurus That's beside the point., irrelevant to the subject, alien, Wrong of, abracadabra, shoot off one's face, Foreword Do not take their words, be beside the point; farfetched answer or reasoning, Incongruous, never talk about anything serious, to talk at random (often devoid of truth), Ghost Talk, babble, speak thoughtlessly or casually nonsense, nag; say over and over again; constantly repeat, babble, whine, fuss, talk about sth, often in a grumbling or argumentative way, mutter, complaint, sue; accuse, complain irritably, whine, bitch, mourn, deplore, sorrow, chat, gossip, meander, rapid talk, talk quickly or glibly, ramble, have a soft spot for sb., confess, chat, chat, sth, turn sb. round one's finger, yack, toot Burble Said a solemn feast, yammer, fable Antonym tanzhu, tanli, write and bring out important points from a mass of facts as one who plucks a pearl from the black dragon, tanlizhu, come to business (=get down to business), gossip Hugh said,, gossip understate Containing Phrases to give an irrelevant answer Fate ever Over[answer]wide of the mark Rangren to drop tear
