like father, like son 有其父必有其子

分类: 英语学习方法 

“有其父必有其子”,汉语成语,字面意思是“有什么样的父亲就会有什么样的儿子”,表示“孩子的行为举止通常与父母相似(a child usually behaves in a similar way to his or her parent(s))”,含有贬义。

与英文谚语“like father, like son”意思相近,表示“a son's character or behaviour can be expected to resemble that of his father”。

例句:

小吉姆原来和他爸爸一样懒,真是有其父必有其子。

Young Jim is turning out to be as lazy as his dad — like father, like son.

吉尔:乔治的父亲总是抽烟,而现在乔治也吸烟。

Jill: George's father smoked all the time, and now George is smoking too.

简:有其父必有其子吧。

Jane: Like father, like son, eh?
