校园口语第二十七课:兔子不吃窝边草

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.

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

2、Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.
