The fly has her spleen and the ant her gall
按字面直接翻译,然后说下引申的意义,最好高人说下这句话的出处,如果有的话.找金山词霸或谷词工具的人请绕行.

第495个:The FLY has her spleen and the ant her gall.
Si furnica,de e furnicã,tot are mânie,cât e de micã.
Musca,si de nu muscã tare,tot ti-aduce supãrare.
Var.Even a fly hath its spleen.
Cf.Even a WORM will turn.
解释是罗马尼亚语,不大懂,英语直译过来就是:(即便是)苍蝇(都)长着脾,蚂蚁(都)长着胆囊.(另外,spleen有“脾气”,gall有“烦恼”的意思.)
引申义:弱者也在不断的提升着智慧!(用于自谦等)
出自代尔 爱德华的诗〈英国朝臣,诗人〉
The lowest trees have tops,the ant her gall,
The fly her spleen,the little spark his heat,
And slender hairs cast shadows though but small,
And bees have stings although they be not great.
Seas have their source,and so have shallow springs.
And love is love in beggars and in kings.
Where waters smoothest run,deep are the fords.
The dial stirs,yet none perceives it move.
The firmest faith is in the fewest words.
The turtles cannot sing,and yet they love.
True hearts have eyes and ears,no tongues to speak:
They hear,and see,and sigh,and then they break.
-- attributed to Sir Edward Dyer (1543?–1607)
