英語裏如何表達----一顆老鼠屎毀了一鍋粥呢?


A rotten apple spoils the barrel.


英語解釋是:


One bad individual can spoil an entire group.


該詞源於:

The idea was stated as long ago as the fourteenth century (in a Latin proverb sometimes translated as 'the rotten apple injures its neighbors'), long before the mechanism of spreading mold or other plant disease was understood. Benjamin Franklin repeated the sentiment in Poor Richard's Almanack(1736): "The rotten apple spoils his companion."
