每个学校都有几个“烂苹果”
分类: 趣味英语
If you have one spoiled (烂的) apple in a box with a lot of good apples, the bad one will soon damage the others. Because a bad person can have a negative influence on those around him or her, he or she is called a bad / rotten apple.
"Every school has a couple of bad apples who damage its reputation (声誉)," Danny said. "Joseph is the rotten apple in our school."
害群之马
如果你把一个烂苹果和一堆好苹果都放在盒子里,那么这个坏苹果会很快也让其他的受到伤害,正如一个坏人会带坏他身边的一群人一样,那么他/她就被称为害群之马。
“每个学校都有一些害群之马在损害学校的声誉,”丹尼说,“约瑟夫就是我们学校的害群之马。”
