Noun:
any diversion intended to distract attention from the main issuea dried and smoked herring having a reddish colora first draft of a prospectus; must be clearly marked to indicate that parts may be changed in the final prospectus;because some portions of the cover page are printed in red ink a preliminary prospectus is sometimes called a red herring herring是“鲱鱼”,red herring原指“熏鲱”,因熏过的鲱鱼呈红色，故得此名。17世纪时逃犯常用熏鲱一类气味很浓的东西引开猎犬使其不能循嗅迹继续追踪，据此产生了draw a red herring across the path或track, trail一语，原意是“以熏鲱引开猎犬使其不循嗅迹追猎”，后用比喻“转移对主要问题的注意力”或“扯些不相干的事转移讨论中心”。之后把此语缩略为a red herring，以之喻指“转移注意力的东西话题”。
另有一种解释说，旧时有些猎人在训练猎犬时往往有意用熏鲱在猎犬穿过的路上先拖曳一遍，以此检验猎犬是否会失去嗅迹而放弃对真正猎物的追踪，训练猎犬慢慢提高嗅觉的灵敏度，学会排除其他气味的干扰。red herring熏青鱼draw a red herring across the track在谈话中谈些不相干的…a red herring熏青鱼draw a red herring across the path把话题扯到别处…draw a red herring across the trail引上错路
