Good morning, everyone! It's time for morning English.
今天的英文分享是“the pot calling the kettle black”,意思是锅嫌壶黑。它用来讽刺有的人在抱怨或批评其他人的时候,自己却也有同样的问题。所以,它也可理解为“五十步笑百步”、“半斤八两” 。
pot,锅;kettle,壶
例句
1. My boss travels abroad all the time, but criticises me for wanting to take too many holidays! A clear case of the pot calling the kettle black!我上司总去世界各地旅游,但他却批评我请假太多!真是五十步笑百步!
2. Don’t tell me I should stop smoking when you smoke, too! That’s the pot calling the kettle black!你自己明明就抽烟,就不要叫我戒烟了!咱们俩其实是半斤八两!
