wonder 作名字講意思指“奇跡”或“奇觀”。習語a nine days' wonder 的字面意思是“一個只持續了九天的奇跡”，喻指“轟動一時即被遺忘的人或物”，有時和“a flash in the pan”同意。
Dialogue:
A: John seems to be in high cotton. He may well become a big shot.
B: I bet my bottom dollar that he won't. He's no more than a nine days' wonder.
A：What's your idea?
B: Many people like him got a flying start but soon disappeared.
翻譯：

B：我敢打賭他成不了大人物，他只不過是曇花一現。
A：那你怎么看？
B：很多像他這樣的人只是有個開門紅，然后便銷聲匿跡了。
