梁上君子liáng shàng jūnzǐ汉朝陈寔的家里,夜间来了一个窃贼,躲在屋梁上,陈寔把他叫做梁上君子(见于《后汉书·陈寔传》),后来就用‘梁上君子'做窃贼的代称。{According to History of Later Han·Biography of Chen Shi, when a thief broke into the house of Chen Shi one night and hid himself on the beam, Chen Shi, showing a great sense of humour, called him a ‘gentleman on the beam’. Thus the phrase ‘gentleman on the beam’ becomes a synonym to ‘thief’.} |
