Green-Eyed Monster 嫉妒 The evil Iago plants doubts in Othello`s mind about his wife`s faithfulness, while advising him, "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! / It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock / The meat it feeds on." (Othello, Act 3, Scene 3) 邪恶的伊阿古让奥赛罗对妻子的忠心起了疑心，提醒他说，“噢，大人，要小心嫉妒之心！那可是一只绿眼的妖魔，它惯于耍弄爪下的猎物。”（《奥赛罗》，第3幕第3场） In a Pickle 处于困境 In The Tempest, King Alonso asks his jester, Trinculo, "How camest thou in this pickle?" And the drunk Trinculo – who has indeed gotten into trouble – responds "I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last ..." (Act 5, Scene 1) 在《暴风雨》中，那不勒斯国王阿朗索问他的弄臣特林鸠罗，“你怎么让自己到这般境地了？”的确深陷困境且已烂醉的特林鸠罗回答说：“我自从上次参见过您之后就一直处于这般境地了…”（第5幕第1场） One theory has it that the phrase in a pickle entered English from an old Dutch expression that translates as something like "sit in the pickle". 有一种说法认为in a pickle这个短语来源于一个古代的荷兰语表达，类似于“坐在咸菜缸”里这样一个说法。 Love Is Blind 爱是盲目的 This phrase has more than one meaning: we overlook flaws in those we love (that`s good), but love can blind us to serious issues (that`s bad). |
