美国大中央出版公司正式宣布著名导演伍迪▪艾伦自传《凭空而来》将于4月7日推出。请看本报昨日的报道：

A memoir by Woody Allen, rumored for years and once thought unpublishable in the #MeToo era, is coming out next month.

Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group, announced Monday that the book is called “Apropos of Nothing” and will be released April 7.

报道中的apropos of nothing就是“无缘无故” (for no reason)的意思，apropos源自法语 à propos (to the purpose)，可作形容词和副词，意思是“恰好、恰当、关于”。例如：

Suddenly, apropos of nothing, he said, “You’re such an optimist.”

忽然，他无缘无故说了一句：“你真是个乐观主义者。”

All my suggestions apropos the script were accepted.

关于剧本我提的所有建议都被采纳了。

Your letter arrived apropos.

你的信来的正是时候。
