  • a black sheep 败家子
     
    讲解:旧时牧羊人不喜欢黑色的,因为迷信认为黑色是魔鬼的化身,会给人带来厄运或灾祸。另外,黑羊毛不如白羊毛值钱,这也是一个原因。牧羊人会因羊群中有黑羊而诅咒不已。因此,a black sheep就引申为“败类”“败家子”的意思,与汉语中的“害群之马”相近。例如:Joe is the Black sheep of his family. He splashed nearly a few years.乔是个败家子。几年内他竟然挥霍掉十几万美元。

    A :If I were him, I would give him a good talking-to. I would insist on his stopping fooling around like that.
     
    参考中文译文:
     
    A :我不知道约翰为什么能容忍他的儿子整天不工作,瞎混日子。
     
    B :他不服约翰的管教,对这样一个败家子,约翰无可奈何。
