1、The fox preys farthest from his hole.
兔子不吃窝边草。
Prey 是“捕食”的意思,英文原意是说狐狸捕食,远离洞府。在中文里最恰当的释义自然就是“兔子不吃窝边草了”。
The fox may grow grey,but never good.
本性难移
The fox knew too much,that's how he lost his tail.
聪明反被聪明误
例句有:
Even the fox preys farthest from his hole ,why don't you just let it go?
译为连兔子都不吃窝边草,你还是看开些吧
