有句外国谚语指的是哪件事?
语出西方民谚,西方的民谚原本只有前三句,后来富兰克林将它扩展开来,就成了我们现在见到的这个版本:
For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horse shoe nail.
-Benjamin Franklin
-本杰明 富兰克林
Lost a nail may lost a country
Lost a small thing you may lost youself
失去一个蹄铁也许会失去一个国家,失去一件小事你也许会失去你自己.
