好奇心的英语谚语
1.好奇害死猫(curiosity kills the cats)这句英文谚语是什么意思
好奇心杀死猫其实是源于西方谚语:Curiosity killed the cat. 西方传说猫有九条命,怎么都不会死去,而最后恰恰是死于自己的好奇心,可见好奇心有时是多么的可怕!
在很多西方人眼里,猫 (cat) 是好奇心 (curiosity) 和神秘 (mystery) 的象征。 当人们讲غCuriosity killed the cat. 时,其实不是真的讲好奇心把猫杀死了,而是说好奇心可能使自己丧命的喔! 自然啦,在实际的用法中也并没有丧命那么严重,但起码是告诫人们好奇心要有一定的限度,否则危险。
来源:1973年,出生于英格兰的Devonshire的阿嘉莎·克莉丝蒂(Agatha Christie,1890-1976)的侦探小说《命运之门》( Postern of Fate )里的:"好奇心杀了猫"(Curiosity killed the cat)
