on the qui vive 的定义

  1. On the alert, vigilant, as in The police have been warned to be on the qui vive for terrorists. This expression, containing the French words for “[long] live who?” originated as a sentinel's challenge to determine a person's political sympathies. The answer expected of allies was something like vive le roi. It was taken over into English with its revised meaning in the early 1700s, the first recorded use being in 1726.
