Have a crystal ball 媽媽，你料事如神，姜敏的媽真是個(gè)姨太太呀，而且是趕出門的姨太太。(楊絳《洗澡》）

Mama, it's as if you had a crystal ball! Jiang Min's mother really is a concubine, and not only that, but a concubine who was sent away.

不理解，請(qǐng)教點(diǎn)評(píng)

My comments:

The crystal ball is a globe made of crystal or glass which supposedly allows the fortune teller to tell a person’s past fate and future fortunes.

This the fortune teller achieves by gazing into the glass.

A European tradition. Plus, it’s a superstition, not science.

Anyways, in our example, Mama somehow knew Min’s mother was a concubine, and that she was sent away. To the amazed daughter, it was as though she had a crystal ball.
