迷你对话学地道口语第258期:姑息养奸 养虎为患  

迷你对话：,A: He is so kind. I couldn’t believe he murdered his wife.,他人这么好，我无法相信他谋杀了他的妻子。,B: Of course not. I believe he’s innocent.,当然没有，我相信他是清白的。,A: I don’t understand.,我不明白你的意思。,B:Henursed a viper in his bosom. His best friend Tony foamed him in. Tony first seduced his wife and then trapped him.,他是姑息养奸，他的好友Tony算计了他，Tony先是诱奸了他的妻子然后又陷害于他。,地道表达：,nurse a viper in one’s bosom,解词释义：,该短语源自《伊索寓言》，它也可作cherish a viper in one’s bosom. 字面意思是“把毒蛇揣在怀里”，比喻义为：帮助忘恩负义的人，保护忘恩负义的人，养虎遗患，姑息养奸等。,支持范例：,If we are weak and irresolute, if we nurse a viper in our bosoms, it will bring harm to the people and alienate us from the masses.
如果我们优柔寡断，姑息养奸，则将遗祸人民，脱离羣众。
