我們應(yīng)該感謝莎士比亞,因?yàn)槭撬麑ⅰ鞍研拇髟谛渥由稀保╟arry your heart on your sleeve)寫在紙上,意思是輕易表露感情,是《奧賽羅》中伊阿古的名言。
In Othello Act 1 Scene 1, Iago says “But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve…” meaning he would be exposed.
《奧賽羅》第一幕第一場(chǎng),伊阿古說(shuō):“但是我會(huì)把心戴在袖子上”,意味著他會(huì)敞開心扉。
Aside from Shakespeare's genius brain, other possible origins include the tokens knights would wear from ladies during jousting matches and a marriage festival from the Middle Ages.
除了天才的莎士比亞,這句話還有可能來(lái)源于中世紀(jì)馬上長(zhǎng)矛比武中貴婦贈(zèng)與騎士令牌,或婚禮場(chǎng)合,等等。
