Think of Mr as a small label you put in front of a man's name to keep a polite distance: Mr Chen, Mr David Lin. You are not saying anything about him — you are marking that this is a name being used , not casually. Because it is such a plain, neutral label, English then borrows it for play: stick Mr in front of a quality instead of a family name, and you have invented a character — Mr Right, Mr Big, Mr Clean.

可以想成 Mr 是一個貼在男人名字前面的小標籤,用途只有一個:把話說得客氣、保持一點距離——Mr Chen、Mr David Lin。它本身不描述這個人,只是標記「這裡是名字,而且我在客氣地講」。也正因為它這麼中性、這麼像個空格子,英語就拿它來玩:把名字換成一種特質塞進去,一個人物就被造出來了——Mr Right、Mr Big、Mr Clean。這些後面的用法都不能拆開看,它們各自只活在自己那個固定說法裡。
