三姑六婆sāngū liùpó三姑指尼姑、道姑、卦姑(占卦的),六婆指牙婆(以介绍人口买卖为业的妇女)、媒婆、师婆(女巫)、虔婆(鸨母)、药婆(给人治病的妇女)、稳婆(接生婆)(见于元陶宗仪《辍耕录》卷十)。旧社会里三姑六婆往往借着这类身份干坏事,因此通常用‘三姑六婆’比喻不务正业的妇女。{three kinds of middle-aged women (nuns, female Taoists and women fortune-tellers) and six categories of elderly women (women traffickers in human beings, matchmakers, witches, procuresses, women quacks and midwives), according to Talks in the Intervals of Ploughing·Vol. 10 by Tao Zongyi of the Yuan Dynasty; (fig.) women of dubious character making a living by dishonest means} |
