The fly has her spleen and the ant her gall

第495個:The FLY has her spleen and the ant her gall.

Si furnica, de e furnic?, tot are m?nie, c?t e de mic?.

Musca, si de nu musc? tare, tot ti-aduce sup?rare.

Var. Even a fly hath its spleen.

Cf. Even a WORM will turn.

解釋是羅馬尼亞語,不大懂,英語直譯過來就是:(即便是)蒼蠅(都)長著脾,螞蟻(都)長著膽囊。(另外,spleen有“脾氣”,gall有“煩惱”的意思。)

引申義:弱者也在不斷的提升著智慧!(用於自謙等)

出自代爾 愛德華的詩〈英國朝臣,詩人〉

The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall,

The fly her spleen, the little spark his heat,

And slender hairs cast shadows though but small,

And bees have stings although they be not great.

Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs.

And love is love in beggars and in kings.

Where waters smoothest run, deep are the fords.

The dial stirs, yet none perceives it move.

The firmest faith is in the fewest words.

The turtles cannot sing, and yet they love.

True hearts have eyes and ears,no tongues to speak:

They hear, and see, and sigh, and then they break.

-- attributed to Sir Edward Dyer (1543?–1607)
