今天的短语大家并不陌生

Curiosity killed the cat

有志提高英文的小伙伴们

千万不要错过 收 听 节 目 

Definition: Being Inquisitive/nosy can lead you into an unpleasant situation.


Etymology: The 'killed the cat' proverb originated as 'care killed the cat'. By 'care' the coiner of the expression meant 'worry/sorrow' rather than our more usual contemporary 'look after/provide for' meaning.


The frequent rejoinder to 'curiosity killed the cat' is 'satisfaction brought it back'.


A

Don't ask! Don't tell! seems to be the rule, because as you know, curiosity killed the cat.

不问,不说,是基本原则;否则你懂的,好奇害死猫。

B

He was removed from the position because he knew too much. Curiosity killed the cat.

他被调离岗位了,因为他知道的太多了。好奇害死猫!

C

I'm dying to know where my husband is taking me, but curiosity killed the cat.

老规矩:最后一句留给你来翻译
