clue翻译成“线索”特别贴切。The word clue was originally a variant spelling of clew, meaning "ball of thread or yarn." Our modern sense of clue, "guide to the solution of a mystery," grows out of a motif [(文学)主题] in myth and folklore, the ball of thread that helps in finding one's way out of a maze. Of these stories the best known is the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. In the myth, Theseus unravels a ball of thread as he searches for the monstrous Minotaur in the Labyrinth. After killing the Minotaur, he retraces his steps out of the maze by rewinding the thread. 米诺斯的迷宫 阿里阿德涅之线
